| Love -- Part III (continued) So, this all comes back around to �How did I know that Rob was the One?� and �Am I sure?� With Rob, I knew very early on. We went to a movie on our 3rd date (The Firm) and held hands throughout the movie. He ran his fingers up my arm, and I could hardly breathe. I learned later that he felt the same way. Later that night we sat on the stairs inside his apartment to say good-bye. We kissed and hugged and kissed some more, and I kept trying to leave, but couldn�t. When I was in his arms I felt like I was �home� and �safe�. I can�t quite explain it. It was unlike anything I�d ever felt before. The next day I wanted to call him, but I talked myself out of it. It was much too early, a mere 10 hours later, and I didn�t want him to think I was some clinging vine of a woman who has to be in constant contact. I mean puh-lease! I am a vibrant independent woman. So, I didn�t call him. He called me an hour later. The first thing he said was �Why didn�t you call me?� It was then that I knew, really knew, that I was hooked. Now, to be fair, I am a Pisces, and we Pisces tend to fall in love deeply and quickly. And, truth be told, I had thought I would marry Leifer, then Brian, then Michael. Someday, when I was old enough, and ready. You can guess how those relationships turned out. So, I figured time would tell, and I continued to date Rob, and he continued to do and be exactly what I wanted, and it was for real. Early on, for about the first year, he would look at me with this look that said, �Who are you and where did you come from� as if I had emerged fully formed out of his brain, straight from one of his fantasies. And I was looking at him in the same way. Loving a guy was the easy part for me, it was finding one who wasn�t afraid of being loved, and who loved me back that took a while. |
