I have promised myself, never to fall in lust again. Learn about the man before you fall in love. Peel the layers of that onion and ifthe more you peel and the more you like, the more you fall in love.

I can relate to this article. My last two relationships were manufactured in a sense. The first one was by me and the second by her, and I just went along with it. It takes two having the same feeling to make it work. So after both did not work, I take my experience and move on. Testing the waters has been good, and lots of fun. So far I have about 6 possible canidates. And I am always looking for more. So far I have narrowed it down to 2 good possibilities.

Peeling the layers in a slow deliberate way is what leads a person or couple down to the to true long lasting love

 I have been on dates in the past that I thought were going good. The conversation was wonderful and I felt that we had made a connection. Only to get the I'll call you and got no call at all. I don't think of it as waisted time because I always get to know something new. Either about myself or the person I am with. I just wish that the man would tell me he isn't interested so I can move on and find someone who is.

I'm of the mind that it's either there or it's not. If a person has to "make" those sparks fly...it's probably best just to let the embers die out.

This article is full of contradictions. Chemistry - that "spark" - is important! But just sit back and see if it develops!
Second guess yourself until it appears!
