Conclusion: Ek tho pehley hi confused thi, and now i'm more confused LOL .. Just gonna have to experience it!But @Blue and lilmzsunshine, I promise i'll be careful! and I will never cross any limits before i'm married anyway! No matter how much I am in love,, and if he loves me then he will never force me or expect anything from me! BUT thanks alot guys and please keep going with your experiences and opinions! I love reading them!
I speak for myself when I say this (although Blue might agree but I'll let her speak for herself - she does it so well too :)) -
you may think you'll be wise about it - BUT, love, or the illusion of it, can make people do crazy things. My friend didn't cross any limits. She did everything by the book (except for falling in love with teh wrong guy). Married him, now they're going through a divorce. She shows up at my house every now and then, I do the moral support bit. But I can't take away her pain. Sooooooo - sensible, you may say now.
In my opinion, the only sensible thing to do is to fall in love - AFTER - you've been married to teh guy. And yes, that's possible. BUT that doesn't mean you go for an arranged marriage, and that too, to a stranger. Use your head, get to know teh guy AND the family (I'm assuming you're a gal. Switch genders if you're a guy ... plz ;). Apples don't fall too far from trees.
Once you're comfy with the entire package - then yes, when you do get married, fall for him.
What you asked about - whether it happens or not - the 'it' is not love. It's romance, and a facade, and 'it' does happen. To people who don't know better. And they crash, to reality, and cry.
the Love - that happens too. But not the way they show it on TV. ANd when it does happen, it's a million times better - something the TV can't catch.
Hope you get to experience it, with teh right person, within the norms of religion and the law (I can't believe I HAVE to say that) ...
Good luck

P.S - No Blue, I'd rather not hear the stories - I'd be in depression for days. Although, I'm fully aware of the tragedies of life, how "love" or what people think is "love" can cause destruction in ppls lives. That's one of the main reasons I wanted AR - it's sooooooo far away from reality, such a fairy tale - about as real as Snow White. So, sometimes, or maybe even less than some times, I feel like putting my feet up and watching a crazy, completely unrealistic, not-in-a-million-chance kinda love story, with a happy ending ... like JWM ... and that's why I wanted AR
I just never understood why people make sad dramas, and that too featured on romance and love. THere's enough of that in real life ... just give us something to sigh and 'awwwww' over, or heck, go into horror. But why sad ending love stories ... I never got that.
...
Oh well. congrats to teh SR fan in you - I take it you'll be getting that wish :)
