Falling For A Complete Stranger

[DangerMouse]

This isn't the same day I sent you the message about gorgeous boys... maybe I used some kind of transferance - love dust sent over the atlantic - to bring you your perfect man - woo hoo

I think the answer is... there is no answer. As long as humans inhabit this planet no-one will ever define love. It's an illustrious, illusive, untameable, beautiful, cosmic thing that makes it's own rules, chases who it wants, forlorns those that seek it and generally brings everyone to their knees when it wants to.

Go, have fun - yippee

Potently said.

I only disagree with "forlorns those that seek it". This I have found, is not true. It may forlorn those that grasp at it, try to control it, and whatever aspects similar to those that could be said to be part of "seeking". But generally, I find it is a Universe of seek, and ye shall find.
Many people seem to be forlorn in their seeking, but have not opened the pathways. Are not actually ready.

I love that. Very nicely put. Thank you. And I guess it was about time I was gobsmacked by Cupid. I am on my knees.

And to update, the last two days have been something out of the mouth of hell. (It is way to complicated to explain.) But through it all, I kept finding myself thinking about this man over and over again. I woke up at 3am this morning and realized I had been dreaming about him. He also accepted me on Facebook but I have resisted the urge to go through his pictures. But everything single thing he has posted, including the articles and news bits, I have read and reread. I also figured out that he has a tattoo on his left calf and he enjoys yoga. *sigh* I love both of those things in a man.

I would be less than honest if I didn't think this is a little creepy. Nothing about this is logical. If I believed in fate I might think differently. (I feel like I am living an episode of LOST.)

I knew from the moment my girlfriend walked through the door and I laid eyes on her that I wanted to get to know her. I can't say I was in love at first sight, but I was definitely far more interested in her from the first few seconds of seeing her than I ever have been with anyone before. Within the first day of knowing her I knew I wanted to ask her out. And here we are a year later, together.

AstroSmurf, in my opinion what you are feeling is not love but infatuation. You have found traits in this individual that you find attractive, perhaps even traits you aspire to or admire in yourself. Some of this is most likely on a subconcious level, so I recommend that instead of resisting, give in completely to thinking and analyzing and obsessing for a week or two. Appreciate this man as a work of living art.


In other words, youve got a crush! They're not always sexual, you know. Live it up, have fun with it.

 

[AstroSmurf]

I am waaaay to old to be having a crush on someone. I don't think I have had a crush in 20 years. But I am thinking about "living it up".

That's great. Wouldn't it be nice if you could meet him over a cup of coffee and tell him how much you admired his work?

My crush also has a profile on FB (as do a lot of my co-workers), but I would dare not send him an invite. I mean, it would be nice to "connect" with co-workers and be able to read their profiles, get a glimpse of their personal lives, without the intent of pursuing anything or revealing myself to them. But it's not like this guy and I are well acquainted, or we work with each other. I'm also sensing he's a bit lukewarm . Sometimes he's quite cheerful and waves at me or greets me when we see each other; other times, he'll just pass by, like today.

Good luck.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that at times I feel the same way you do about your guy.

I've definitely fallen for someone at the drop of a hat. Honestly, I wouldn't mind having that feeling again! It's been too long since I've been giddy over someone. AstroSmurf, I think you should just enjoy that feeling while it lasts.
