Attraction Part II

So here’s a few more thoughts on my last article on attraction. I was thinking about another quote today (what a surprise) and I thought about how closely it relates to the earlier article. The quote is “If you’re doing what you’ve always done, then you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” So as I thought about all of the people who “look for love in all the wrong places,” I thought about how to further guide these wayward hearts to true and lasting love. Sometimes we have to break out of our comfort zones and try something a little different. I can’t help but think of the Seinfeld episode where George does the exact opposite of what he would normally do for an entire day. The results will probably surprise you.

The Eye of the Beholder

I just wanted to take the time and offer my support to all of the female specimens of our species.

The problem is finding an accurate way to measure compatibility. We could start with the law’s burden of evidence which is a “preponderance of the evidence.” Basically a hair over 50% or half. Surely this is a much too lenient measurement as I highly doubt that every other person you meet would make a suitable mate.

Timing

Something occurred to me the other day that really startled me. It was the instant realisation that I was missing a completely vital component to meeting The One (italics added by author). We always think in terms of: I wonder if I’ll ever find him/her, but I think we’re all forgetting that there is another facet to meeting someone. The concept of timing.
