I have this thing where I see a random person on the street, in the store, or in the park and it makes me picture what it would be like to be together with this person, to build a house together, have pets together, live a life together. I try not to stare as I walk past and go about my day.

For minutes to hours I have this gut-punch feeling that the love of my life just walked out of the door and I’ll never see them again. Soon after, when the stranger is all but forgotten I’ll run into the next stranger and the cycle repeats.

Somehow I believe this is a mundane and typical thing that occurs to men, maybe to non-binary people and women too? However, I’ve never spoken to anyone about this in real life. So I’d like to hear your thoughts. Does this happen to you?

    So very rarely that I almost trust it.

    Agree with SreudianFlip that some people do smell compatible, and others so incompatible that it wouldn’t matter how compatible they were in other ways. People do physically fit together (or not) beyond mental compatibility.

    If you haven’t heard it you might like the Hozier song “Someone New”.
