The elusive spark!

I had this conversation with one of my friends last night. It's a topic that I have thought of many times before. The spark. I'm talking about THE spark.
You know……….. the one that you feel instantly when you met "the one".














What I'm basically wondering is.......................could it be real??????? Or is it something that we come up with to be able to “reject” someone? “He’s really nice and all but, there just wasn’t a spark”.

I mean……….how many times has it happened that someone you like, likes you back? Instantly?
Yeah people are attracted to each other all the time but that’s not what I’m talking about. People seeing each other and wanting to screw the hell out of each other happens ALL THE TIME! I’m talking about when you meet someone and think “oh, he seems like a nice guy. I’d love to get to know him some more” and a guy thinking the same.
Most of the time you might like a guy and all he thinks about is getting you to bed (if even). Not getting to know YOU!
So that’s where the question comes in to play. Is it something that we trick ourselves in to thinking it’s out there or is it really real?
And if it’s real……….should that be something that I need to hold out for? I mean, if I meet a nice enough guy but I’m not immediately drawn to him………should I not go out with him because there wasn’t that alleged spark? So the whole getting to know someone is crap?
I often hear people say “when I saw him/her I just knew. I just KNEW they were the one”. That’s awesome and all but what if you didn’t KNOW right away. I mean with that thought process I could potentially (and likely) spend the rest of my life by myself (an idea I’m not opposed to, just trying to make sense of everything).
And what does this alleged spark feel like anyways? Is it just like butterflies but on steroids?
Who knows!?!?!?!?!?! Next time I’m in line at the supermarket and I turn around and see an amazing looking man, I will leave it up to my internal organs to dictate my next move………………………..
