[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not, but that is not my personality.  I am cautious by nature and need to analyze and think through everything--especially something as important as marriage.  I would never let a hormonal surge dictate my future.  Lust does not equate love.[/quote]

Says somebody who's never allowed it to.  Granted, you're right that it rarely works out but lust can lead to some wonderful adventures with people who will make up the majority of your memories as you get older.  Some of us even had that lust turn to love turn to longtime marital commitment.  You gotta take some chances if you want to be fulfilled.[/quote]

I am the most analytical peron on the planet. Seriously.  I analyze everything.  My brain is always buzzing.  I have a hard time making decisions because I weigh every single option and constantly researching, etc.  But- I am guessing you haven't experienced 'the one'/true love'.  I used to always ask family members, friends--'but how will you know?'.  I always got the 'you just will. can't explain it' response. I was a cynic.  I was hit by a lightning bolt the night I met my future husband.  It was not just lust.  It was profound.  It was if everything I ever wanted and dreamed in my head was right there in front of me.  We had a click..stupid 'soul mate' type connection, if you will.  I had a serious relationship before him---he had two (not marriages) and it was nothing like those.  There was no work, no thinking, things just fell into step and we were together from then on.  16 years now.[/quote]
