Have you ever thought about the difference
between attraction and being in love?
Her: What do you mean?
Well, actually I think they take place in different
settings. I mean attraction is what you experience
when you're in the presence of that person, (point to
yourself) and you're looking at them, and you maybe
you think to yourself ... (pause) mmmm. And maybe you
start to have certain ... (pause) thoughts, images and
you know what that feels like, right?
Her: Sure.
But falling in love, well I think you do that when
you're not even in that person's presence. I mean, can
you remember a time when you just totally fell for
someone?
Her: Yeah.
And as you sit there looking at me, thinking about
what I'm saying, you can remember what it felt like,
right?
Her: Sure.
Yeah, but here's how it happened. You spent some time
with that person (gesture to yourself) and then you
went home, and you PICTURE THAT PERSON IN YOUR MIND
(as you do this, draw a frame around your own face!
Ha! This sticks you in there!) right?
Her: Yes.
And then, maybe you IMAGINE YOURSELF in all sorts of
situations with this person (point to yourself again)
having lots of fun, and enjoying the kind of feelings
and things you'd like to enjoy with them? Can you
REMEMBER HOW THAT FEELS?
Her: Yeah
And then maybe you start to LIST ALL THE QUALITIES
about him you really like: He's so smart, he's so
funny, he's so fun to be with, whatever they were,
whatever the things are you really WANT AND ENJOY THAT
in someone (point to yourself again), right?
Her: Yeah
And then you get that feeling, right in the pit of
your stomach, right in your solar plexus, that just
starts to spread out and let you know you really,
REALLY LOVE THIS PERSON? (point to self again) I mean,
can you feel that as I describe it to you?
Her: Oh yeah.
And then, here's the kicker ... you START SAYING HIS
NAME OUT LOUD. You start BRINGING IT UP IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR FRIENDS, and maybe even you
DANCE AROUND THE HOUSE, SINGING IT if you're a real
goof? Right?
Her: Totally.
See, I think everything, including falling in love is
a process. And when you DO THAT PROCESS WITH SOMEONE,
(point to yourself) and really LET IT HAPPEN, that's
when the magic takes over, the magic we're really all
looking for. Of course sometimes that can take months,
but the real magic is when it happens INSTANTLY and
you know it right away. That's an incredible feeling,
isn't it?
