The Unintentional Engima

I feel silly...I meant nothing enigmatic with my earlier post. There are no new strangers or crowded rooms complicating my life

given the many types of the love, the "love unit" would be too variable to measure :)

but yes when things tip to that point it's hard to know which raindrop made the bucket overflow.

Shoot, I thought we were going to do a story where everybody adds a part... ;)
But the scientists are in fact trying to quantify the process (called "limerance" if you're interested) that begins with that particular moment. No word yet on the unit...

Don't feel stupid. You were giddy with love and happiness and wanted to make the rest of us jealous...we get it. :cD

I don't know if I've felt a more, it's hard to quantify. I know I've run across different, and perhaps more solid, special. Sure. But I'm not always sure how. I tend to fall in love rather slowly, though that hasn't always been the case. I think it's baggage from some early relationship stuff (including my first marriage) where I fell in love relatively fast, then both of us had all sorts of expectations about "we're in love, so we should be able to beat this problem!" or "we're in love, so it shouldn't feel this bad, so let's wallow in denial!" Then when it does go from "in love" to "in love and solid, I can trust this," well, I don't know how to explain that process, and there have been times when I've had a hard time admitting to myself that I've crossed that threshold.
