At First Sight?

I am sure you have heard the saying a million times.. "Love at first sight".  Your interpretation is extremely different from the person sitting next to you, or your best friend, or even parents for that matter.  What does it really mean? Is there a set definition on what defines love at first sight? I never really had a set belief on love.  Usually, when it came to love, I was all over the place.  The people I usually loved hurt me the most.  They were the "bad boys" in life that attracted me most.  The men that broke the rules, lived on the wild side, and were extremely intoxicating and dangerous.  I was laying in bed last night when I got to thinking about all the different types of men I have dated before.  When talking to girlfriends and what not I have always asked mine if they had a type of man they usually fell for.  Was it the jock type? Singer? Rock and roll artist? Hippie? What kind of men were they attracted to?

Some of the girls would respond that they liked an outdoors man that was really into sports.  Someone who liked to watch Sunday night football and was a family man.  Then again, some of these girls responded that they were attracted to a man with rock hard abs, or even someone of polish descent only.  Culture was sometimes key in the types of men that attracted women.  I always thought that I had a certain type of male that I was attracted too, but what is the fun of dating the same guy over and over again? That is when it hit me:  How are we supposed to learn who is the best for us if we keep dating the same person over and over again? What differenced would there be? Would we have the same fights, arguments, interests? It seemed like we would be repeating the same circles over and over again and what would be the fun in that? It dawned on me then what was needed for me to finally move on with my life.  To date different men of different backgrounds, and interests, and styles of communicating.  If I dated the same type of person in a different body I  would learn nothing new about myself and about what was the best for me.  That would be my one of my new years resolutions I decided.  Yes it would.
