Like two fucking magnets. We met on an online dating platform, and after a few messages, we talked on the phone for ages. One time, we talked an entire night and eventually realized that we had to go to work. When we finally met, it was magic. It just felt right on every level, like we were soulmates. That was 17 years ago. Still very happy together :)

No. It took 7 or 8 years of friendship for that to develop. Now we've been married 28 years.
Nope. I thought they were awful and selfish.
Only via dank memes and edgy memes.
Yes, though we first met several years before we started dating. We saw each other maybe a half dozen times via mutual acquaintances. Then, in spite of my moustache and her marriage, a non date turned into a date when two people who were going to come out with us cancelled. We moved in together within a few months. There were still plenty of rough times as well, but we grew in our relationship and as people and it turned out pretty well. We still have pretty good chemistry.
I was a Sega boy, she was a Nintendo girl.. rather than chemistry, it was like magnetism - opposites attract!
To be serious though, yes, from day one, 23 years and counting, no change in feeling.
Not really, no. It wasn't absent either but it's nothing like we have now after sixteen years together.
