Your story made me a lil teary eyed. :) Happy to hear he found you again and you're talking again and he's coming back to the US! What a great story. I hope you get to meet up and have a good time together!
And.. I do believe in love and first sight. I've experienced it at least one time. And it made me think.. I have no say in the matter.. Like I wasn't consciously in my brain thinking of reasons why I liked the person, they were just before me and so amazing that.. I was attracted to them like a magnet or whatever.

These days I try to be more careful with the love at first sight because I realize appearances can be deceptive and I should try to love the things about someone and not the sight of them per se, however.. I think it all kind of.. Mixes together in a sense.. For I had talked to this women and a few of the others for a while before we met and I knew an amount about them already so it wasn't purely "looks".. It was looks + what I knew about them which made it even more powerful.

And.. While I can be attracted physically to someone I know nothing about, I can't fall in love with them like that.. To me anyways.. I think I need to know something about the person before I can fall for them in that sense, however.. I could see how if you met someone for the first time and never talked before, there could be a body language to them that is just.. Nice to be around even if you don't know anything about them.. Maybe there's something deeper going on, maybe you were connected in another lifetime or something and it was just easy for you to connect since you had been together before in another life? I dunno, but I love the story and I hope it works out well for you. :) Thanks for sharing!
