Dear Panel,

I've been dating this guy for almost 2 months now.

Recently he and I talked about where our relationship is going. He basically said that he doesn't really feel that special "something" in our relationship. He did say that he wanted to continue dating for a while and see how things work out.

It got me thinking that I too don't really know if I feel that magic either. He's a great guy and I really enjoy spending time with him, but I don't know if I'm having the right feelings for him or not. I don't know how long it should take before I actually feel something really special for him.

I always hear people talking about how they knew instantly that the person they are with was "the one" or movies about love at first sight, but I just don't picture us together in 30 years.

Should I continue with this relationship even if I am not sure it will work out, or should we end it?
