Chemistry and love

[ericwinters]

any thoughts from you sexperts on the difference between chemistry and love?

Chemistry is when you find them attractive after 15 minutes. Love is when you find them attractive after 15 years.

Falling for someone, Mr. Winters?

 

Chemistry is something two people feel when they meet, and it might develop over the first week or two they know each other. But at that that early point, we know very little about someone, and it's natural to fill in the gaps favorably. IMO, chemistry is partially a result of what Stendhal called crystallization: "The moment one begins to take interest in a person, one no longer sees him or her as they really are, but as it suits one to see them."

I won't try to define love, but you can't really tell whether it's love until you've known the person for some time.

Rguer I very like that definition -- now all I have to do is remember it!!!!!

Here I go: I'm leaving my signature on.

 

I "fell" for my personal trainer, who I thought was in his early 30's. He's 27. Scorpio to my Cancer, for you astrology geeks [i know you're out there.]

We had a great time. That was chemistry. Would there have ever been love? A resounding "no."

 

I knew he was going to go on a month's vacation, but I didn't know he was ALSO not coming back [new job]. Boy, that still hurts.

I met someone last year and I instantly knew I liked him the minute I walked into the hotel room.

 

It was Chemistry on the initial meet but I never thought much more about it.

 

Two weeks later he invited me to London, then to London again two weeks later and we both knew it was more than Chemistry

 

Now I see him for whole weekends in Europe. There is still a chemistry but it's gone beyond that now

Scorpio + Cancer = Danger, Will Robinson!

 

Of course, to be fair anything + Cancer = Danger, Will Robinson!

My mother, married 63 years, would've disagreed with you.
