    True Love; love-at-first-sight.

    I've heard and read stories about it, and I have seen in-person, it lived out in real life.

    Francois' story made me sad. But, honestly Francois...if you are reading this.

    She's probably still feeling the same way. I doubt that it was just a fleeting thing.

    There is one person I lost back in 1992. I hate myself for this, but I won't get into details. It was one of those things: I moved out of Toronto (for 7 months). This person was living in Toronto then went (home)overseas; I mailed a birthday card to their Toronto address with my western Canadian return address; then I moved back to Toronto with only a 2-3 month change of address. They moved away, no forwarding address. I even wrote to the landlord of the building he lived in. So any possible contact from this person, squashed. DAMN! It's 11 years later, and it still bothers me.

    I've tried locating this person, but I have had zero luck.

    Francois, if you can....and I know deep down you must, look her up. You're worth it man! She's probably thinking of you at this very second. I'd bet my buck on it.

    I cannot say I've had love-at-first-sight, but I have been impressed and forever intrigued by some people.

    I'm going on 41 now, so I don't expect much these days.

    Friends are what are most important to me these days.

    Love is like any other emotion, the result of chemical reactions and electrical impulses caused by external stimuli and the instinctive impulse to perpetuate one's genetic material.

    Thus questions of true or not true love, or of concepts like soulmates, are pointless.

    When you love someone like that you don't lose your self at all, if anything the person that loves you back upbuilds you and allowes you to be all that you can

    So there is a fine line between this kind of "love" and codependancy. No thanks, I'll take my chances.

    Francois what a sad story. It's been so long since I've been affected by a love story like that. Is their any chance you could get in touch with her? Do you know what has become of her? It sounds like almost a tragedy if you don't end up with this woman.

    It was my first date ever, and I had so much fun, if it wasn't for her my life would not have no inspiration, she loves me in the same way I lover her, and sometimes I think more. I just hope the relationship lasts forever, and if it doesn't , at least I know someone can love me.

    Man!... that was nice, Nomad Soul. I remember those kinds of feelings the first time I had 'em... Keep us posted.

    Well, I feel sure that true love does exist; seems to be existing at my home, anyway.

    As for love at first site, absolutely sort-of. I think that attraction can be strong enough to last during the time it takes for the people to actually establish a relationship and a commitment. That kind of happened in my case with my husband. We got married a year after we first met. And for about 6 of those months we were corresponding from overseas. Married over 16 years. (Take heart, nomad soul!! Thing could work out as well for you! )

    Love is a great thing at its various stages.

    codependancy

    Do you have any idea what codependancy is. You are so moronic. A co-dependent is someone that backs a alcholic that beats and terrorizes them, or someone or drugs, or someone that is a control freak. That is ABNORMAL behavior being validated by someone. That is codependancy.

    I serioulsy doubt you will find true love because of your attitude. It doesn't make you a strong person, your attitude makes you build walls and shut others out. How sad. I wish you knew what true love is like but unless you get some therapy I don't think you ever will.

    I believe you immediatly connect with the person who becomes the love of your life.

    I was out with friends one night and a girlfriend of mine (sharon) walked into the crowded place with another girl at the side of her. I instantly turned to the friends who were with me and said "look sharon has just walked in with my wife"...no kidding, we have been married 8 years in August and I knew straight away (call it persumtious) that she was the one for me.
