“You had me at Hello.” In gay parlance, “You had me at Heller.”
This famous line actually came from the movie “Jerry Maguire” starring Tom Cruise. Just to refresh your memories…
Listen to the lines:

Jerry Maguire:
… our little project, our company had a very big night — a very, very big night. But it wasn’t complete, wasn’t nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn’t share it with you. I couldn’t hear your voice or laugh about it with you. I miss my — I miss my wife. We live in a cynical world, a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors.
I love you.
You — complete me.
And I just had –
Dorothy:
Shut up. Just shut up.
You had me at hello.
You had me at hello.
I’ve had only 2 partners in the past. My first relationship lasted a year, and my second lasted 3. I look back and notice that for those two instances, if I count how much time it took for me to decide to commit myself to the relationship (counting from the moment I first met my to-be partner) — I have the same answer: less than 24 hours.
In short, they really had me at heller. It seems that the mechanism for determining whether I like the person as a partner or not is almost instantaneous.
Am I weird that way, or is it something common among us gay guys? How about you dear readers — based on your experience, are you the type who gradually develop a feeling towards your to-be partner, or are you like those (I included) who pretty much know in a jiffy whether or not a person is a potential match?
