And what do you think about instant sexual and physical chemistry at first sight with someone
Not much. Glands and appetite ain't the basis for anything outside of a one night stand. Anything else, anything solid and noteworthy, requires compatibility (which, in couples, includes mutual attraction but not necessarily the all-encompassing, set-my-pants-on-fire intensity of infatuation).
Can we really choose who we fall in love with.
The animal chemistry we have no say about ('cept where it truly counts:
I'm gonna pursue/I'm not gonna pursue) but loving someone is a choice, on-going. It's saying yes to a coupled life, even when that life doesn't seem , from time to time, very appealing.
Love hurts like fuck, in my experience.
Oh, sure. I've been burned. Always though, it was becuz I got deep with a woman I didn't really know. I gave way to glands and appetite and I paid the price.
Also, how is it that two people can be totally compatible in the bedroom, where their sex together is electrifyingly like you don’t want them to stop, constantly crying out the words “oh my god I love you so much” But then outside of the bedroom you find you have nothing in common, and you realise you are just putting on a fake facade, and everything seems forced and strained.
I've been there. The sex is great but everything else is a horrorshow. Again: there's was no real compatibility. It was just glands and appetite.
