The Excitement Of Meeting A New Person

The excitement of getting to know a new person is thrilling. It’s like reading a book that keeps you glued to the pages until you arrive at the back cover.

Firstly, let me paint a picture. You’ve gone on dates with folks who said the appropriate thing at the appropriate moment. People who appeared to be a fantastic match for you on paper. People you should have had a spark with, people you wish you had a greater connection with, but you didn’t.

You assumed that numbness was a by-product of maturation. You assumed that you would never again have butterflies in your stomach as you did when you were younger. You believed that you’d never experience that stupid surge of adrenaline again when you saw someone’s name on your screen. You believed you were too old, too mature for such things.

After months, if not years, of feeling numb, you realize how wrong your exes were for you until you finally find someone who makes you feel alive. The new person never made your heart beat faster. The new person never made your heart race. The new person never offered you anything like this before.

You had no idea how intense love could be until you met this new person. You always imagined it to be simple and comfy. It made you feel protected but didn’t provide anything more. You had no clue there was another level to relationships – one of passion, tension, and excitement.

A part of you feels terrified when you finally meet someone who makes you feel alive. It’s a beautiful feeling that I think everyone should experience often.

When Was The Last Time You Met A New Person?

Getting to know a new person is a thrilling adventure. It’s like reading a book that keeps you glued to the pages until you arrive at the back cover. You can only know whatever page you’re on and what you’ve already been told. Everything else is patiently waiting to be found, relying on time. I’ve been thinking about the novelty of such an event—the process of discovery being the major driving factor behind everything we anticipate.

When I first meet someone, I always prioritise chemistry. Is it possible to meet someone for the first time and instantly connect?

Actually, it wasn’t simply a click with him; it was more like church bells were ringing wildly. It was deafening in a wonderful way, yet scary in a bad way.

When I meet someone with whom I have a strong chemistry, I always ask myself these questions.

• Why did God send this individual my way?
• What am I meant to take away from this person or experience?

The Excitement Of Meeting A New Person

To be honest, I’ve always believed that this type of enthusiasm (when discovering new information about someone) derives from our ongoing drive to ‘figure out’ people, if only to grasp how similar or unlike they are. And the heart yearns for commonalities, to be understood, and to find validation once understood. So when we meet new people and are delighted by it, we’re not just excited by the promise of what’s to come, but we’re also hopeful that they’re like us-I get you, I see you, and this is how our stories intersect.

All of this makes me wonder what will happen next. Every time someone describes the joy of a new romance or the thrill of a new acquaintance, I’m inclined to ask, “What happens when it goes down?” Because everything in our environment that causes our emotions or feelings to surge may also lead them to plummet. Perhaps it is when our will to remain around is truly tested. Our determination to stand with people who matter when the adrenaline wears off, the thrill disappears, and the narrative begins to seem familiar. But, I suppose, the trip (with them) never ends. And it is this that keeps us going.

When you meet a new person who makes you feel alive, you understand, even when the sparks die down, you aren’t meant to be alone. Perhaps it just took you a bit longer than others to locate the right person for you.
