THE ELECTRIC CUPID

"Imagination rules the world." ~ Napoleon 

She had answered an Internet personals ad.  "Single white male, early
30's, looking for one interesting, attractive woman."  There was 
something about how he was only looking for just one.   They had 
swapped emails a few times, then he sent her a small photo, it just 
showed his face.   He was handsome, smiling.  Short brown hair and 
eyes.  She sent a photo back that showed off her slender body, short 
blonde hair and blue eyes.   They started to write more frequently.  
She was 34, and worked in a large office as an administrative 
assistant; he had his own computer consulting business out of his 
house.

Do I believe in love at first sight?  Now that's an interesting
question.  Not having been in love, other than that one time I told you 
about, I really don't have enough experience to go by.  I suppose it's 
possible, but really, now, isn't it just 
wishing/attraction/availability/fate really all there is to love 
anyway?  It's all brain chemistry, if we feel that way about someone, 
somehow a total stranger becomes a member of your family.  That's love, 
and yeah, I guess it could happen at first sight, but it's never 
happened to me that way. 

I heard about this couple once though, who met, three days later he
asked her to marry him, they did soon afterwards and lived happily ever 
after for the rest of their lives. 

I think it's more important to ask if it's possible to love someone
exactly as much or the same way as they love you.  I have a theory.  
There is always a loved one and a lover.  In my relationship, the one 
that ended up breaking my heart, I was the lover, he was the beloved.  
Which is why it hurt so much to break up.  In my friend Cassie's 
marriage, you know, the one with the Seven Year Itch, she says she's 
the loved, and he's the lover.  So she is constantly looking, or 
tempted to look, for someone she can really love, head over heels, 
think about him all the time, dream about him, not be able to stay away 
from him type of love. 

Gotta go, I think I hear my boss coming. Cindy

I think it is quite possible that one person always loves more than the
other.   If we fell in love, assuming I would recognize the symptoms, I 
think I would love you more than you loved me.

How can you say that?  You have no idea how much love I am capable of
giving.

It's not got anything to do with you, you are perfectly capable of
giving all the love in the world.  It's me.
