New friendship similar to falling in love

[mrsdj1985]

Is this just me who feels like this? I have recently formed a friendship with a woman and i likened it to like falling in love/dating. I am happily married and it’s not like there are any sexual feelings for her but just feels a bit like when I was dating and looking forward to next seeing them?

am I weird to think this?

Hmmm, honestly, yes, a little!

It's nice you've found a new friend and lovely to get to know new people but I would be careful not to overwhelm your new friend.

I suppose meeting someone who you click with and like is like falling in love, I love having new friendships even at my age

are you normally intense with friendships?
has it cause problems in the past ?

I would take it slow and not exclude the idea that this could be the start of a romantic crush

Thanks for the replies. No I haven’t really felt like this before and I don’t tend to meet new friends often. I definitely won’t be sharing this to overwhelm her!

I think it's lovely and have also felt like this before - a deep connection with a new female friend in your life. Totally get it. It may last or may not but if it does it's totally normal - women often have deep close emotionally connected and meaningful friendships with other women and have done all throughout history - lots has been written about it. Sometimes those relationships are deeper than they have with their husbands because they are more fulfilling intellectually and/ or emotionally. Full disclosure - I am now married to a woman I experienced this with but there were many friends before and since her that I have been close to but would not have wanted to marry or be in a sexual relationship with. They were just very important friends.
