How do you know when the time is right?

[Lil-Brandi]

We have all been there, at that crossroads of Friendship Rd. and Lovers Ln. How do you know when the time is right to advance to the next step? How do you know when you're ready to give away that first kiss? OR how do you know when the time is right to go all the way?

Ms. Curious here, just wondering what different view points all of you have on this subject...oh and please..NO single word replies allowed in this thread! LOL

No time like the present...............

How do you know? When thoughts about that person consume your entire days. When the passions inside are to the point when you will explode if you don't take him in your arms and kiss him deeply and lovingly. When the thought of him leaving you for a day or two is so overwhelming that you will just not make it unless he stays. When he kisses you on the lips and you feel the warmth of his tongue in your mouth and your desires are so strong that you simply forget that you are two people - you feel like you're one. That's when you know.

Ahhh...those delicious moments...

CD-able and I were best friends for a decade, even though I lived in the US and she in the UK. We saw each other only every two or three years. Oh, we were also married to other people at the time and our two sons were best friends.

Make a long story short we began emailing each other about our problems and, I don't know how it happened, we fell in love. We still hadn't seen each other after this revelation so we didn't know if this was platonic love, courtly love, or stop your heart with fireworks love. I flew to London and the moment we saw each other, held each other in Gatwick airport, we knew. That was over five years ago and the fireworks still haven't stopped.

Guilt about leaving partners and putting the kids through a lot of stress? Sure. The kids from both marriages had a choice of where to live. They chose us. The only real regrets we now have are that we wasted twenty years of our lives being unhappy with our partners. The positive side is that we didn't foolishly choose to waste another twenty for the appearance of morality. Falling in love with my best friend changed my life completely.

How's that for a soppy, early morning story?

Wow! I'm enthralled, envious, entranced. Wow.

Closer Desire, how romantic, you brought a tear to my eyes.

The moment when you both know, just happens, may be when you hold hands for the first time, smell each others scent, hear each others voice, look into each other eyes. It could happen on the first meeting, from across a room, or take many years to blossom. I have been married 27 years, I still love her as much today as I did 30 years ago when I first meet her, it was love at first sight( although it is a different type of love). Unfortunatly she does not know return my love, my mistress I meet 15 years ago, 10 years later we became lovers, she is is a single very desrable busines woman and does not want a marrage type arrangment,we live for our moments together. The first time just happened when we kissed at 12 o'clock midnight, 1995/6, before then it had always been a peck on the cheek. It was a moment of real mutual passion and lust, a feeling I had not had for a long time, we could not stop our selves. We became lovers on the 1st January 1996, at 8pm.
