Hi everyone. First let me introduce myself since I have only posted a couple of times on other boards. I am in my late 40s and about 6-7 months single from a 3 1/2 year relationship. There are such great discussions here I wanted to know if anyone had actually experienced meeting a soul-mate or 'love at first sight' type situation.

After 6 months of almost no dates or action all of a sudden I have been juggling calls from four different men. Then this past weekend I met a new one whom I had an almost immediate connection with. We left the bar we met in and spent 3 hours talking (and a little kissing in there lol). I have met with him once since then and talked to him sevreal times. I truly feel like I could marry this man right this instance and I planned on NEVER marrying again (lol .. never say never). I am so confused over what I feel though, especially since we have not slept together. All the signs point to us being fantastic in bed too though! I am going to find that out soon because I want to so bad I am lucky I managed to resist him this long.

Is there such a thing as love at first sight? And have I let myself fall into it? I ask because in 30 years and after leaving more than one marriage (which is why I never want to marry again) and dating many men, I have NEVER felt this way before about any of them.

I take it from the lack of responses that not many people here believe it IS possible to experience 'love at first sight'. I may one of the lucky ones that has found it though :)

Has anyone here ever felt this way and gotten into a relationship that turned bad before? I so do NOT want another bad relationship. Its why I am taking this new man as slowly as I possibly can even though I have extremely strong feelings for him.
