Does Delayed Love Exist?
We all talk about the love at first sight we feel when we see a person for the first time, but there are also a lot of people who are not feeling “anything” for each other at that precise moment.
It is also common for friends to become boyfriends, or neighbors to become spouses, for example.
You can see a good example of this situation in the movie “Love Without Notice”, in which George Wade (Hugh Grant) is the owner of a construction company, a millionaire who cannot get by without his assistant. legal counsel and adviser in various tasks, Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock).
She is a very intelligent lawyer but she works too hard for her boss and it causes a stomach ulcer in her.
However, it is not his work that exhausts him but Wade, an enchanting, intelligent and self-absorbed man.
For him, Lucy is a kind of “nanny” who must advise him which tie to wear according to the type of meeting he attends.
After five years of professional but also personal relationships (she also helps her with her divorce agreements), Lucy decides to leave the company.
George first refuses her resignation, before accepting on condition that she finds a replacement.
After a long search, the Harvard graduate lawyer finds a colleague June Carter (Alicia Witt), who is interested in her boss, but especially from a personal point of view.
Although June is a very diligent employee, George finds it very difficult to come to terms with this new situation and he misses Lucy very much. To know the rest of the story, we advise you to watch the film.
If you are not that fond of rose water movies or romantic comedies, you should know that beyond the story itself there are other interesting topics, like “the delayed love ”.
Here, a man who has everything (money, success in business, a big company etc.) and who thinks only of himself, can become interested in a woman whom he has known for a long time and who, until now was her personal assistant, although she herself took care of everything that happened in her life.
This situation can also occur in real life. Think about the couples you know. Did they fall in love from the first meeting?
Maybe you’ll be surprised to learn each other’s stories, if you’re interested.
Or maybe you will remember what your grandmother used to tell you about meeting your grandfather: “He always came by my door to sell me cakes and I always bought them for him. I would never have thought that I would marry him ”.
What is “delayed love”?
Many films, TV series or books tell us love stories caused by love at first sight, a phenomenon that occurs when two eyes meet in the street, in a restaurant or in a park.
The magic happens and they never separate again. “They lived happily and had many children” is the famous phrase that ends this kind of tale.
But this inexplicable explosion between two people who fall in love does not always happen at the first moment.
It is not as simple as it is described and you may have known the love of your life for a long time and it is around you without you knowing it.
Maybe it’s your best friend, your classmate, your neighbor, the shopkeeper who serves you every day, your co-worker, etc.
The possibilities are limitless. It is also likely that the other person also did not realize that you were made to be together because it depends above all on each other’s situation.
Do not hesitate to pay more attention to what is going on around you, because maybe life will surprise you, when you least expect it!
