Is love at first sight possible? Have you ever experienced it?

At a social event last week, we met a fabulous single gal and chatted about dating for bit. When we asked her how she felt about blind dates, she replied that the times she’s been in love, it was love at first sight. She’d see a guy across the crowded room and she’d just know that she was supposed to go talk to him. They’d talk and end up dating, and from the beginning there would always be a spark. She said she didn’t know if blind dates were for her, because if there was no spark there to begin with, it wasn’t worth her time.

I do believe that we are supposed to meet certain people in our lives. So what happens if you DO feel that spark from across a crowded room but don’t have the balls, like my new friend did, to approach a total stranger? Will you ever have another chance to meet them? Does the universe, or God, or whatever you believe in (if anything) “send” you another chance? Or are you doomed to live a lonely life of solitude, just because you missed out on your own “love at first sight” opportunity?

My advice – take the chance. What’s the worst that could happen? They might tell you no. They might be seeing someone. They might laugh in your face (but probably not, and if they do — would you really want to date someone like that?). OR…. they might just turn out to be the love of your life!

Lots of Love,
