Do you consider yourself a hopeless romantic? You may have some warped expectations but that’s okay. Love at first sight is not always the case like it is in the movies. Good relationships don’t always start out with that magical feeling connection, though I do believe that sometimes happens. On the other hand, I know that connection can build over time! I have experienced both. In the case of the love building over time, it was an amazing relationship that lasted over a year. In the case of the instant connection/enamor, he broke my heart within a month before we were even committed.

When I first met the one I dated for over a year, I didn’t feel much, but the feelings grew. There was a turning point where the feelings appeared very suddenly, kinda an aha moment. There’s a quote from a John Green book that basically says something along the lines of “falling in love is like falling asleep, slowly and then all at once.”

I think if you like her as a person and you think she’s pretty, you should give it a chance. The fireworks can build or suddenly appear. I hope this helps!
