Title: Falling In Love . . .
Post by: Gina Taylor on February 26, 2014, 09:45:27 AM
Two days ago, my roommate brought home a friend and told me that he's gonna be our new roommate. He seemed like a nice guy. :) 20 years my senior. We talked and found that we had a lot in common. Last night he told my roommate that I've really grown on him and that he's fallen in love with me and that the feeling is mutual.  :) He's  I took him out last night to a shopping mall, and he was very impressed on how much of a woman I am, and how much people thought we were a couple. :)

Congratulations Gina. I'm so jealous.

And I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't remind you that, while feelings of love can blossom quickly, a true connection between two people takes months or years to forge.

Y'know Suzi, I guess it was just being at the right time right place. Thanks for the good words of advice. We do plan on taking it very slow though. For those that rush into a relationship really don't understand each other, so that's why we've decided that we're gonna get to know each other and take as much time doing that first before we make any real concrete plans. But we do know that our hearts are meant for each other.  :icon_bumdance-nerd:

In love after two days? I believe in love at first sight, but be careful.

Thanks Gina Z. But you know it's that special connection between us. He tells me that every time he looks at me I remind him of a person he used to know. But I will be careful . . .

Last night we were talking and he told me that right now he's comfortable with just being friends, which I'm comfortable with as well. No point in rushing the relationship. Seen it happen too many times.

Y'know Cynthia, I was thinking the same thing as well. It's all been great. The only down side of this year is that I've lost a few friends, but at least they've shown their true colors to me finally. But I've made so many new girl friends!  :)

Three days ago, I was sitting in the library and this gentleman passed by an smiled at me,so I returuned the smile back to him. He came over and told me that he had been checking me outfor a few weeks, and after a little small talk {he's 62 and he's Itallian} we went over to his house, and I really think a nice relationship is blossoming!  :icon_mrhappy:

It cannot hurt to have some fun & let go with this person. It seems awful quick to be in "love" however you never know what will happen in life. Go have fun GF.

Me too. I've been with lots of men. Some said they loved me however I really never loved any of them. I think it is because I've never found myself & have never physically changed my body to normal so it just seems that I'm trapped. I would love to love a man but I just do not know how. Oh well, it's good that some member is enjoying life & love.

Thanks Cynthia. Believe me, I was quite surprised when he told me that he'd been chcing me out and made quick advancs on me, but I guess that's the way Italian men are.  :)

I've never felt love or have ever been love. So I can't really understand what I am missing out on. I've always seen myself as asexual and I still do. But love is a very different thing than sex. I would like to feel how it feels to love, but I don't know if that's ever going to happen.

Sometimes love happens unexpectedly. When you meet the right person and the stars align correctly, that's when you know that you're in love. It may happen or it may never happen. But you will know when it happens.  :)

I'm not really into believing that there exists a god or that our fates are predestined, but I agree with you otherwise.

Love is not a feeling. Love is something you do. It's a verb. It's like caring except more intense.

My ex called me today by surprise and he may have found a new boyfriend / roommate for me. He told him everything about me, and he really seems anxious to meet me. We'll see how things turn out. He's Italian as well! :)

Thanx Kate and Diana for your sweet concern. My ex gave him a lot of good information about me, and he was quite pleased when he met me last night and things went well. He's divorced and has shared custody of his son. We'll see how things develop.  :)
