Up on my soap box

I have this friend (hard to imagine I know) who seems convinced that everyboy she knows is her "soulmate". Maybe she wouldn't agree. Of her last three beaus that we've discussed she's been in love with them within a week.
So taking a step back maybe it's just me. Maybe I have never met a soulmate. But I figure it takes longer than that. And sure people can have "love at first sight" if they want but three times? Probably more than that, I'm just not there to hear it.
I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't think I ever have. How can you love someone without knowing anything about them? Without sharing their fears? Their insecurities? Their dreams? Love at first sight is nothing more than lust. The desire to be with someone overcoming all else in life. But it isn't love. No matter what people say.
On the subject of my friend she's a doll and on any other thing I agree with her totally but not here. Maybe she's never been hurt. Maybe she can throw herself totally into every relationship. Maybe if people never had their hearts broken there would be less divorces because you wouldn't hold back in a relationship. Your trust has never been broken. Your heart has never been stamped on. Never been used as a football. Never been forced roughly back into your chest.
Or maybe people who want love enough see it everywhere.
