Lust at first sight

Society makes you believe that when you meet your soul mate you will know right away. The movies have you believe that there is love at first sight. The famous Romeo and Juliet had it. It's romantic.
In all reality it isn't. It might happen for some, I won't totally disregard it. But I believe that the feeling is more of lust than love. As we all know lust fades. Some might be able to build love from lust and have a long lasting relationship. But from what I have seen and known and felt it doesn’t last and it was never love.
Love needs to be earned, it needs to be tested, and it takes time.
Looking at all the people I know, my parents, my aunt and uncle, my cousins, my baby sister, and many others. It was never love at first site. It took time, it was tested and it was earned and that made it last so long.
I know that people can feel a little something when they first meet and I can tell right away if I’d ever be in a relationship or not with someone when I first meet them.
I had meet so many guys this year and one of them was so awesome but the sparks weren’t there, as much as I tried and gave it chances, just to learn that yeah I’m not a good match for him but at least we can be friends.
The guy I’m dating now I’ve known over a year, a friend of a friend and con-goer, and even though the sparks weren’t heavy I always thought he was cute and had the most chance with me. I knew he had a crush on me but he was just one of the guys and I was having a good time being single. Then something happened and we got close and started dating and after a month or so he was my boyfriend. Two months later I feel in love with him. He was a big surprise and our love took time, it was tested and it’s been earned. I’m in love more than I have ever been and it feels great! Not sure if he is the one yet, but he is close.
I let my heart be open for love and so I found it. But if you think that it will be love at first sight then you have your heart closed to possibilities.

Here are some good quotes to remember when looking for real love.

True love doesn’t come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
The only way in this world you can ever hope to be loved is to stop asking for it and to start pouring out love without hope of return.
Fairy Tale Number 6 -True love is instant, you will know it the minute you see the person. Nope- Trust, communication and kindness take time to unveil and build.
It's not about finding someone who completes you but finding someone to share your completeness with.
Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.
