I believe that hearts know when they beat as one. It was during our four-day initial meeting that I fell in love with Paul. Usually this is not the type of thing you say to someone you just met because they usually think you are crazy and seek a protection order.  Armed with the knowledge that he was leaving the next day, I forged ahead and spoke those three words. Well, after a lot of Skyping & e-mailing when he returned on his next visit, he presented rings! So I guess it was OK to be all forward like that.
