Getting to "I love you!"

How to get to "I love you, Je t’aime or Te amo," when you meet somebody new?  For me this went very quickly because we 'clicked' right away when we first met. For some this love click takes a little longer.  What is this click? Well I don’t mean the Xhosa South African language click. The love click is when you suddenly realize that you like a person and there is nothing platonic about it. It is both an emotional connection and an intellectual one in equal measure. 

This doesn't mean that you will necessarily fully understand what it is you're feeling at that very moment. This realization will often come later but hopefully not too late. I say it’s an emotional reaction because you can feel it happen. It’s also an intellectual process because after some reflection and you still like the whole package, then take your shot at love. Sounds analytical but it worked for me and could work for you also.  Don’t forget to share with them how you feel and maybe play this song for good measure:  Don't Walk Away From Me one of my faves by Whitney Houston.
