Wow. I am both envious and skeptical at the same time. I appreciate the level of emotion and compatibility you share with your soulmate. I can only wish for that. But how patient is he in an argument? Does he have a temper when frustrated? How protective is he? Does he cook for himself? Does he have good credit? On the run from the cops? What will you do when these feelings “level out” and normalize? Spontaneous combustion of emotion is a great thing, but in order to go into a marriage, you need to know how much someone has your back. How dedicated are they to solving the problems, so you can both be happy, or do they avoid the problems to feign happiness? Does the brotha have a secret passion for polka music? You get where I’m coming from…i hope.

I am in complete agreement with Icey(except for the envious part). I am an admitted cynic of love at first sight, but engagement as of a first date? That’s a bit much. I read romance novels and have never come across something so fantastical. I’m not denigrating your love, but take more time to know him. If it’s meant to be, time can’t and will not hurt. Unless you’ve been saving yourself for marriage, then I understand.

Oh my…he proposed on the first date? I have to be honest…that would freak me out. I too was totally smitten by my guy from the very beginning. We’ve been dating for four months, see each other almost daily, and we’re STILL learning things about each other.

Icey & Reina are SO right! Especially with this: “If it’s meant to be, time can’t and will not hurt.”

yeah ummmm proposal on the 1st date imma think dude is nuts, or he need a visa, lmao or the chick he wanna marry is like heir to the post-it notes fortune or something,

naw ignore me tho, i am just being a smart ass i don’t believe in love @ 1st sight, but to each his own, love is a beautiful thing, however it comes about…..

lmao answer this tho FG da hell one man can propose in like one date, and it take some men like iono years to realize that the woman they been with since 1972 is the one they wanna marry???? baffles me is all….

@ Chrissy,

You were with your man since 1972 before he finally proposed last month? LOL

lmao @ FG i see you got a smart mouth….

My co worker’s husband Proposed to her on their first date and they have been married for 37 years. Follow your heart girl. You already know that there will be rough days but follow your heart. And trust GOD.

I want to believe, it’s romantic and all, but reality is a bitch. And once you both come down off that cloud, that’s the real test. I thought I had love at first sight with my ex-fiance, too. We were engaged after 1 year, but broke up 8 years after that. Why? Because we tried holding onto that dream, but the reality was we weren’t compatible. Please don’t go at it with blinders, and give it a little time. If it’s meant to be, it’ll still be going strong 3-6-9-12-months, years, from now.

I too will admit that I am a bit skeptical. I do not believe in ‘love at first sight’, more like ‘lust at first sight’. Honestly, what do you have to base your feelings on? Appearance?

I agree with Icey…In all reality, two days is NOT an ample amount of time to make such a life changing commitment such as marriage. You don’t really know this person, his family, morals and values, future plans, is he a criminal, crazy, and yes sometimes his past? It’s great that you think you’ve found your soulmate, and just like FG advised you, this could turn into something great. Just TAKE YOUR TIME, there should not be a rush when it comes to matters of the heart. It’s better to take your time and get to know him now, than end up regretting it later.
