Romantic Love Relationships:

" I met this special person when I was 12 (he was 17). We didn't end up together. This year, (2001) we re-met through the internet and were able to say all the things we felt so long ago (and do to this day). THIS time we both experienced and were able to "complete" the state of 'limerance' you spoke of so eloquently. -- As a stage III cancer patient, it was a life transforming experience for me - LITERALLY & profoundly.-- He 'freed' the hurt that had festered for almost 50 years and opened me to an ability to love I
didn't know existed inside.. ----- Though I love my husband deeply and completely, I'd never known requited 'romantic' love -- until this experience.

We're both married and aren't about to change our chosen paths, but I'm grateful to have finally felt
what "people were talking about" and it was wonderful.

And yes, we've each returned to our individual lives, secure in the knowledge that we shared this wondrous emotion and experience. We're both richer for it.

 (Note: It isn't only the 'kids' who go through
this, so please don't sell we "senior citizens" short...passion is passion and it's GOOD! :)

I feel HEALED and whole and complete in accordance with your definition of archetypical 'mirrors'. -- I believed we shared true Soul Touch from the beginning. To re-meet and expand those feelings so late in life reinforced those beliefs.

Thanks for the opportunity to say so.

Romantic Love Relationships:

" My dose of limerence always occurs on the dance floor.  When I am dancing, I am already in a state of euphoria so, any attention given would trigger my reactions.

So, I was dancing and what was so strange was I felt a presence behind me which completely overwhelmed me.  And when I turned and saw him and actually touched him, I went completely mad.

I was in love with him there and then.  I wanted him every which way. What surprised me the most was the fact that we connected on so many levels." M 35 - 44 yrs

Romantic Love Relationships:

" I've been in "limerence" with a particular man now since August of '99.  He is married; we met innocently and were both struck with the intense infatuation very quickly.  We are both very attached to each other still, but he panicked soon after we met, when he felt himself falling in love, and pulled back to a more platonic standing.  I sense he still harbors much feeling, but fights it.  (For example, he creates CD compilations of music, or videotapes of favorite artists, for me every month or so and leaves them on my doorstep or in my mailbox.  Also, although we see each other rarely, every time we have he has been unable to keep himself from touching and kissing me.)

I know not where this will end.  I believe he is the closest thing to a soulmate I'll find in this lifetime.
Wish me luck...;-)." F 45 - 54yrs
