. It makes me think of that scene in “The Wedding Planner” when Jennifer Lopez’s father explains that when he first met her mother he had to grow to like her, then lust after her, then love her. But it’s an absurd comparison because (a) her father had a pre-arranged marriage to someone he didn’t know and (b) it’s a J.Lo movie.

It took me 3-4 months to realize I loved him…which is very different from being “in love”. If you want to be “in love”, you should probably look elsewhere, but I feel that fades with time, while “loving” someone is something you can still do when you’re old and gray.

because I had learned you can never create the spark where it has never been.

some guys are too easy

... hmmm ... after reading the comments, it seems to be a 50/50, perfect guy, no spark learned to love after X number of years, and not-so-perfect sparkies ... then ...

A guy who stands up for and is passionate about what he believes in while being civil to those who disagree (and chivalrous/polite in general) is hot.

In all relationships the spark fades with time. I’m not saying it won’t ever come back, but the loves that really last are the ones where friendship is the base.
