By this point, you have spent years thinking about what the perfect guy for you physically looks like.

His face is so familiar to your mind’s eye; it’s as though you already know him.

There have been moments where you thought you saw someone who looked like him in the real world, but something was missing, which would lead to disappointment within you.

The closest thing you have come across as a perfect copy of him has been fictional characters you have seen in movies and the cover of romance novels.

After a while, you began to wonder whether such a man exists in the real world.

Your world.

Then, on a fateful day, it happens.

You see the man of your dreams in the flesh.

He shows up out of nowhere, and all of a sudden, there is a tremendous rush of dopamine that surges through your body.

You are suddenly hyperventilating.

The man you were beginning to believe was non-existent has now shown up in your world completely unannounced.

And it happened like a movie too.

In slow motion.

Time suddenly slowed down to such an extent it felt like you were the only two people around.

Suddenly, you become really nervous or shaky or feel like you might pass out as you stare at a man who fulfills everything you are looking for in the face of a man you are super attracted to.

His eyes, skin, jawline, nose, forehead, hair, ears, complexion, lips, etc.—everything is so perfect.

Just as you had dreamt it for all these years.

The reason why your mind and body are reacting so viscerally is because of how the moment has shocked you.

You were beginning to believe that it wasn’t possible to see someone this super attractive in your everyday life.

It felt like he was nothing more than a product of your dreams that you would sometimes see manifested in the fantasy world of movies, romance novels, and magazines.

There didn’t seem to be much hope that you would ever come across someone this super attractive in real life, and yet, it finally happened.

Usually when a reaction is this intimate, it has a lot to do with a lifetime of buildup.

You have dreamt of this moment for a long time.

When it suddenly happens out of nowhere, your mind and body are in bedlam.

It’s a shock to the system, as you didn’t see it coming.

That’s why all of a sudden you become really nervous, shaky, or feel like you might pass out when you see him.

Many people have the same visceral experience when they see someone they are super attracted to.

This is often what also happens when someone has a celebrity crush.

A lifetime has been spent developing a parasocial relationship with the celebrity so that the moment they see their idol, they are in complete physical and emotional disarray.

They experience the same nervousness, shakiness, and sentiment that they might pass out when they see the celebrity they are super attracted to.

In your case, this wasn’t a celebrity crush.

This was someone who finally showed up after a lifetime of waiting.

Prior to this moment, no one qualified, even though there were occasional close calls.

But no one checked every box like this guy did.
