Catchy title? Hm. I hope it is because I have a question.
Let's say you meet someone then you both instantly have an affinity for each other. Do you ever reach a point where you suddenly feel and realize that, "This is the person I'll spend my life with."
I read a magazine where two celebrities met and they were like, "this is the guy I'm going to marry" etc.
I was wondering if it's just caused by too much emotions or is it really something fated and you just know it in your heart.
What are your experiences in times when you feel so sure that the person you have just met/currently with is with whom you truly want to spend your life with?
Does this only exist in fiction or does it happen in the real world? I just remembered the Twilight Saga when Edward was sure that he wasn't going to spend his life without Bella.
It only happens in books, right? Or am I just too pessimistic?

No, I don't think you're pessimistic. I don't really BELIEVE that people can fall in love at first sight, because I think it's more of the personality that matters, not the looks. Of course, sometimes you can tell what a person might be like by their looks, but for most people that isn't true. So basically it just comes down to getting to know a person. I can't say for certain whether or not what you feel is the TRUE feeling, or just an infatuation, but I'm pretty sure you'll know somehow that you want to be with that particular person. It might work out, and it also might not work out, but that's all up to how you feel. And Twilight is NOT a good book, but that's just my opinion lol.

LOL. I like the book, it feeds my craving for romance. 
But there, just until that. Just limited to fiction.
Good insight, I agree with you.

Haha yeah, I only picked it up cause my sister said that it was kind of interesting (which it was), but I just didn't like how shallow Bella was, and the almost-no character development in the story. Thankfully I don't have to rely on a story for romance now, I have a boyfriend so no more Twilight for me thank you very much. And glad you like my response!

Well, from a personal stand point, when you are in Love, and know the other person you are with is the one you are meant to be with you will know. The day I met my husband I knew he was the one for me, and even in our Bad times I could never trade him for anything. We knew from the moment we met, and were married 7 1/2 months later, and it will be 10 yrs. really soon.
Sometimes too many people are out there trying to hard without letting God and their True feelings take control. It is better to wait and be with the man or woman you are compatable with and know you can never live without, then to just get married, have kids, and throw your whole life away from there.

I see.. Thank you. Do you think age has something to do with this discovery? I mean, is someone too young to know when he finally meet that someone?

I feel it can happen in life too, but same thing should be felt by both the partners. Most of the times only one of the partners feel like that to which other does not agree and hence this does not happen in real life. But I have seen one couple who decided this and they were total mismatch, every one said that they will separate in less times but believe me they are together for last 25 years and are so happily married that I feel such a thing should happen to everyone of us then life would be very beautiful.

My partner and I courted for quite awhile. We had a lot of situations surrounding us that prevented us getting together more soon. Sometime we were talking, before we got together, and he told me he wanted me to always be in his life. I felt the same way. It was his softer way of telling me he wanted to spend his life with me, before we had actually gotten together.
This is out tenth year together.

I would have to say that it really does happen I am a prime example that it happens. I met my other half about 7 months ago and knew in July that he was who i was going to be with i couldn't go a day without him. We are now planning our wedding in April and renovating our basement so we can put our bedroom down their so we can have a child
