I've only known true love from a man once in my life. When I was younger I remember all the silliness I associated with love...the goosebumps, the heart palpitations, the thinking I couldn't LIVE if he didn't call; (the waiting by the phone), and the crushing feeling when that call didn't come. Well guess what? My husband and I have 2 grown daughters, and a beautiful 3yr old granddaughter, and all the old silliness is STILL THERE! I still get goosebumps when I think about him, I still think he has the sexiest voice on the phone, (he calls me about 5 times a day), and he's STILL the love of my life! I sure do love my sweet guy!!\nWhat about you, Hon? Is there love in your life? I wish it for you!

I was 16.  From a non-believing background.  Borderline alcoholism.  Attracted to christians by their love and simple joy.  \nWhen I realized Christ was alive and present in the room where I was, I couldn't resist Him.  I told someone the following day I had been born all over again, and he showed me that the expression was in John's Gospel.  A month later a Christian asked me when I was saved, and I was stunned:  "saved" - what a wonderful word!  That really described it!  So I became a Christian withoutg having been exposed to the two major buzzwords of evangelical Christianity! lol.  That was over 40 years ago.  I have never regretted it.

faith has a big part to do in helping me love life. I'm not saying I'm a saint and do this everyday, but when I try to notice all the small blessings, it really adds up and helps me be happy.\n\nIf you're wanting to do something new, has there always been something you've been wanting to try or pick up in knowing more about a certain subject/activity you've always were curious about? For my boyfriend, it's motorcycles. Me, ballroom dancing. Another friend, poetry. Etc. Etc.\n\nHope that helps!

I think its possible to fall in love with that person's spirit or how you perceive their spirit and soul. It takes years sometimes to find out if a person is who you believe they are. As for a physical attraction, that will take an in person meeting. But maybe this is how you were supposed to meet your soulmate so take a chance otherwise you might regret it later and always wonder....what if?

God gave everyone the free will to either believe or not to believe. It can't be proven that's why it's called Faith. Once I believed, accepted, and acknowledged my faith then  the gift of the Holy Spirit was given to me.  For me that was simply a knowing that God's covenant with man through Jesus Christ was the truth. And a deep and loving peace that filled me completely. I was only 9 yrs. old but I know it was real and it has been reaffirmed to me over and over again through the most amazing things. I pray that everyone can someday experience such love and peace.

There comes a point in accepting faith, when that faith will be tested.  There are a great deal of souls that have not reached the same stage as you.  The secular world is full of temptations and holds onto them with greedy hands.  One of the reactions that people have around those who have accepted Christ, is to be repulsed by it.  It is natural.  They are not ready for it.  They do not need it yet.  I myself have felt this revulsion, and I myself have felt the movement of the Holy Spirit within me.  To be converted is to be in love, and nobody likes people in love.  They act sappy, but to that person who is in love, there is no feeling like it in the world.  You are on cloud nine for weeks on end, and someone's going to pull you down.  Misery loves company.  Just hang on to that faith now, and guard it like your most precious possession.  Pray for those who would revile you.  After all, it is easy to love your friends, but not so easy to love your enemies.

YES!!!\n\nI sure have! I've wondered, "What took you so long?" then thought "I'm SOO glad you finally found me!"\n\nIts a completely unbelieveable feeling! The feeling that as you say, you have FINALLY found what you've been looking for!!\n\n(Oh there is a diffrerence between infatuation and this particular feeling.... I have been infatuated before, but anyone with half a mind knows deep down when they are playing themselves for a fool.....when you KNOW that the fantasy is NOT the reality but keep going anyway)  <Thats just to clarify for some of the previous answers.

Drop it now. It will not end happily. Some of these people are naive beyond belief. If you and he actually believe in your religions rather than just adopting a label, then your love will not survive! The conflicts are too deep and too pervasive.

I agree with most of the people who have answered this question.  But have you ever heard anyone say that if a person ever had fallen in love with someone, they cannot fall out of it as, unlike other things, there can be no falling out - if you fell out of love, you never fell in.  Kinda like a well.. you can't fall out of a well.. lol...

relationships, and love for that matter, are not supposed to be judged/prejudged based on one event.  love is a decision to commit, not blind faith based on perceived symbolisms.  God has a reason for everything, every time.  It's not just the "ME" and the "NOW."

I think people have lost hope or faith that there is that one person out there.  Alot of bad things have happened in the world so alot of people no longer believe in love.  But I on the other hand, do.  I have been hurt in the past and have major trust issues, but when it comes down to it I still hold on to the idea that there is that special someone for me.  Never lose hope!!

I'm the type of person that needs absolutely everything proved to her.  Everything.  But I've found there are two exceptions...god and love.  Sure I can dissect the reasons why I believe in both, but what it comes down to is I simply *feel* them both.  I'm not talking about blind faith here.  It's sort of...instinct.  A gut feeling, if you will.

i think it might be very rare to actually fall in love at first sight but it can happen. now, if you see someone and all you think about is "wow, they must be great in bed" that would definitly be lust. but if you feel like you really want to get to know them then yes, i would say it was love. only because that has happened to me. when i first saw my boyfriend (we both met at church) i totally knew that i cared for him. but caring is not the same as love. but it did turn into that. so it is a long process, sure there was attraction but also a deep mutal respect and care for that person as well. sorry if this is confusing but love is sometimes a confusing thing.
