This is a story of how I met and connected with my soul mate and about our first date: The first day we connected, I heard you talking and hence joined in the conversation. I was immediately attracted to you. I sought out to have more conversations with you. Therefore, we took a break by the back of the building and talked much more in private. I knew you were someone I was going to be connected to right away! I ended up asking you to stay back after work to spend more time chatting with me. You shocked me by staying behind as you were working double shifts that day! We connected right away again that very night as well. We spent the night laughing away and sharing thoughts and feelings. We exchanged e-mail addresses and I wrote to you for the first time that night after work, cause I so wanted to talk with you again. In that email, we joked about getting a one bedroom apartment. Who would have ever have known that we would literally go there one day. I ended up only working there for two weeks! It was more than enough as our connection will be with us for the rest of our lives. I got fired shortly afterwards and we never worked together again after that night, but we had already connected a beautiful relationship was already in motion. Shortly after that night, we had our first date. What a night! I think I could write a book on it if I had the time! We had e-mailed and chatted online for about a week. I learned that she liked Arabic stuff, so I looked online for an Arabic restaurant to take her to. I wanted to be sure that she knew that I listened to her and that I cared about what she said. I also had to deal with the fact that I need to tell her I was still married, but separated in mind and spirit. I practiced all day long with my mother and best friend Marie on how to tell you this. I was sick in my stomach about it as I stand to lose her if I didn't approach it the right way. I knew what was in my heart and I needed to be sure to convey it correctly to her. The Arabic place turned out nicely and she was suprised when the belly dancer came out and started dancing. Later on, she conveyed to me that belly dancing was also something she was very much into. I think she knew right there and then that I was serious about us and this was not a fly by night relationship. After the meal, I had arranged for us to go to the landing in downtown Jacksonville that night. I wanted to be close to the water, as I know we were both stronger emotionally next to it. We walked around a bit and enjoyed the Christmas decorations in the surroundings. She behaved like a kid in a candy store upon seeing the huge lighted christmas tree with all the lights and ornaments. I walked with her all the while thinking about what needed to be discussed. I tried to find a warm quiet place and looked around for one. I remember telling her I had something to tell her and she stared at me dead in the eyes, which made it even harder. Summoning my courage, I told her what needed to be told and naturally, she was shocked. We continued walking by the water while I gave her time to absorb what I just said. We ended up sitting down in a pavillion next to the water where we continued talking about it more. It ended with both of us still feeling connected. After we left the pavillion, I stopped her and gave her a big hug. This was our first true embrace and we almost kissed there as well. I knew I wanted too but she turned her head before I have a chance to plant my lips. We ended up on a bench where we can watch a light show on the Christmas tree which moves in sync with the music. I moved her so I could massage her shoulders for her. We soon ended up with her in my arms sidways on a bench upstairs. We finally kissed and it was like nothing I could ever forget. I had kissed many times before but with her it was pure electricity. I was already falling in love with her. We had both broken so many rules that night in regards to what we said we were that night. It was like the rule book in life for ourselves was thrown out! We had both agreed previosuly that we don't like to kiss on first dates in the first place! My only explanation is it was meant to be. From that point on, I knew that I was going to have a relationship with this woman.
We never stopped talking about that night we met at work. We have continue talking EVERY SINGLE NIGHT ever since then. Sometimes, it goes on for many many hours while sometimes it is only for a short moment. However, one thing which we agreed on is that we would never let a night go without somehow connecting. Wors cannot describe how connected I feel with her. We feel every single emotion together and every single thought. We don't even have to talk together to know what the other person is feeling. It is like we are twins and are connected in the mind. It really does amaze me in that sense that we are so totally connected in mind and spirit. It has been about three months from that infamous first date and we have not stopped loving each other since. We are now in the middle of planning to move out and start a new life together. Who would have known from a simple meeting of the minds that we would have grown to love each other to this level of understand and commitment! Story by James
