I've been single for about 4 years and have dated lots of people that never worked out - usually I decided I didn't like them as much as I first thought.
Recently I met a man through work and I feel such a deep connection with him and just feel like I want to be with him all the time (obviously I wouldn't actually do that). There is an amazing attraction but it's much more than just that. I've had lustful feelings about a lot of people and even limerence (which is a nightmare) but this is so different- it never feels wrong or stressful.
I have started to wonder if I've ever felt this way about anyone. Possibly only my ex husband (18 years ago!)
I don't want to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn't work out but I had honestly forgotten that it's possible to have these feelings for someone - I had become so cynical about relationships generally.
