In case you don't know this French expression, it translates to "love at first sight". I had a guy tell me he was "feeling" this way for me recently...& let me tell you why I think this doesn't exist at all. It seems like this is a great excuse for people to use to justify their actions. So, there was this dude that seemed to have been texting me & asking to see me at odd hours of the evening/night, & never offers to do activities, he tries to invite himself over to my place, & his explanation was "The reason I act this way is because when I first saw you, it felt like I've known you forever, it was love at first sight!" Dude, I wasn't born yesterday. "True love" doesn't ask to see the person after 9pm, it doesn't only text once a week, it doesn't insist on coming over to see me while I'm babysitting 3 kids at my friend's house. And with all this, he still has the balls to say "I sincerely want to be your boyfriend." Honey, I was 17 years old a rly long time ago, there is no need to be trying to play mind games & saying "sweet" things. You clearly wanted to have fun & tried using love to get it. Not. Gonna. Happen. Now my question to you guys are, why? Why do you insist on putting yourselves & us through these mindless games? Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, if you're honest with yourself & with the girl, you still may get what you want? I, myself, would like to find something concrete & real, but I'm sure there are many girls out there who would appreciate the fun like you want. So, pls leave the rest of us alone & go find someone else to bother. By the way, this guy was like 37 or 38, can you believe it? Still immature, no wonder he's still alone. Before using the words "love", "I think I've fallen for you" & "I love you", stop. Stop & really think about what you're saying & what you're really meaning to say. I'm sure you can feel really high feelings, but we need to realize what those high feelings really are. Because the all-time high feeling isn't love, it's just extreme happiness in the moment & those are always temporary. It's in the lowest moments that you need realize if the love you think you feel is still as strong as it was when you were high up in the sky. Now that's when you know. When you're able to pull a little smirk because you realize, in that lowest moment, he/she can still make you feel that love. I don't believe in love at first sight, I just believe in love. I believe in the right love, & all the moments in between. What I'm looking for is not the all-time high, it's lowest of lows & still being able to find love in you & you being able to find love in me.
