When she knew he was The One

I was looking at Glamour Magazine online and I found this quote from Jennifer Connelly, explaining how she knew that her husband, actor Paul Bettany, was The One:

It was something about the way that we were together. He stood out to me as someone singular and rare and beautiful, and I liked the way he was in the world. I liked the way he was with people. I liked the way he was with my son and the way he made me feel.

Sometimes I think about dating, about how hard it is to put myself out there, and I want to quit- I want to remain single. I tell myself it’s easier or it’s safer, that I don’t have the time. I’m good at making up excuses.

Then, I read something like that and I can remember feeling that way before. I can remember looking at a man that I cared about and thinking, “Oh yeah, he’s for me.”

I want to feel that way again. As much as I enjoy feeling proudly idependent, sometimes not having a partner leaves me feeling a bit hollow. Not that I’m a shell, but more there’s a space in me that I want to fill with a bit more love.

Jennifer Connelly is part of the ensemble cast of He’s Just Not that Into You, a movie that I’ve already mentioned wanting to see (I’m a Drew Barrymore fan). He’s Just Not That Into You opens February 6th.
