Though, if I were single & he was too I could definitely view him as a partner.

For example some people, I have a spiritual chemistry with, others sexual, others mental...all to varying degrees.

Only once have I felt chemistry that was like soul to soul entirely. And yes, I recognized it immediately.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but if he works in hospice, could you be picking up on the compassion and kindness that he has as a caregiver?

Do you have any indication as to whether or not he felt the same? How do you know that he saw the same thing that you did?

And if he reminded you of someone, could he have triggered feelings of that person?

Does he remind you maybe of things you want in a relationship that you don't have, or of any ideals? If you're not sure that he reminds you of an exact person, could he remind you of an ideal person?

Again, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but you asked "what exactly was I feeling with this person?" and those were some ideas that you came to mind.

I also have to ask, and you don't have to answer if you don't wish to, but do you really love your partner? Are you in love with that person? Why would you feel love for another if you're in love with your partner? (Again, if you don't want to answer, that's OK, but I'm just putting it out there for you to think about).

I will also admit my own bias: I very strongly do NOT believe in love at first sight. Infatuation, lust, obsession, idealism, yes, but real love, no. Love is rare, precious, and takes a long time to develop and unfold. Love occurs after people have been through trials together, after they've weathered storms together and have come out stronger. Love is hard to find, and it can disappear. Once it's gone, it's usually gone forever. It's something that has to be nurtured, cared for, and maintained.

**I don't mean to burst your bubble, but if he works in hospice, could you be picking up on the compassion and kindness that he has as a caregiver? [/B]

No, though, he did seem compassionate and kind towards the end when my grandma had gotten worse. What I felt was instant. Not when we were in the room, only when our eyes locked & met.

**Do you have any indication as to whether or not he felt the same? How do you know that he saw the same thing that you did?

He probably did feel the same. When it first happened I looked away & looked at my grandma, yet he kept his eyes locked on mine. He didn't flinch.

**And if he reminded you of someone, could he have triggered feelings of that person?

His essence reminded me of who my supposedly, "twinflame" is. His body build, glasses, and demeanor. He reminded me of him. I felt that he could possibly be a soulmate of some kind. In another lifetime, perhaps.

**Does he remind you maybe of things you want in a relationship that you don't have, or of any ideals? If you're not sure that he reminds you of an exact person, could he remind you of an ideal person?

He reminded me of the person, by his soul essence, not necessarily him. But him, overall, as a package.

**I also have to ask, and you don't have to answer if you don't wish to, but do you really love your partner?

I have been with my current partner for almost 14 years. At times I wish I would've dated more & though I have feelings of love for this person, they aren't passionate, which I wish they were. I do consider him my soulmate.

**Are you in love with that person? Why would you feel love for another if you're in love with your partner? (Again, if you don't want to answer, that's OK, but I'm just putting it out there for you to think about).

What I felt with this new person was instant. The minute our eyes locked I had a feeling of love inside my heart & soul. His soul was familiar to me. Perhaps, in another lifetime we had been lovers. I have always been a skeptic of "love at first sight," so I didn't understand what was happening. It wasn't lust what I was feeling because I wasn't attracted to him physically, but as soon as our eyes locked & we stared at each other I felt my heart racing & myself falling in love. It's strange, I know, but it does happen. I have been a witness to it. In the back of my mind I kept thinking, "When you meet your twinflame the feelings of love will be even more intense when your eyes meet & lock into each other." If I do get to experience the union of my twinflame & I in this lifetime I know that it will be a wonderful experience.
