“I have finally met the one I am meant to be with; my soul mate. I love him! I love him! I love him!” – These are the words of every woman in love who has just found out that destiny “has brought” to her knight in shining armour.
Men feel similarly. And if men tend to be more laconic when it comes to their emotions, then be sure and don’t doubt that they live through this love storm in the same way but without shouting out loud they’ve just found the perfect woman.
