Maybe it's a formula? (Physical Attraction + Connection = Chemistry?)
In "The Main" by Trevanian, there is a young policeman who meets a girl and feels he's in love within weeks. He feels a little silly, and is confiding in his seasoned, gruff mentor, LaPointe.
While it's not his way to disabuse the young man of the notion that he is ridiculous, and so says nothing reassuring whatsoever-- LaPoint does understand and sympathize. (In his mind), LaPointe reflects on how he felt when he met his wife, how he loved her almost immediately.
I remember this line: "How long does it really take?"
I'm finding the answer to be: Not nearly as long as you'd think. You just have to be willing to be honest with yourself.
Karl
We went on a bona-fide date:
Wonderful event. Amazing food. Either honestly couldn't have been better.
Karl is smart and kind and interesting.
And yet, conversation felt like work.
Linus
Linus is a new one - There are some (surely dealbreaking) differences, but I want to meet him anyway, and he wants to meet me. So we do.
Linus is:
- Really cute
- Funny
- a motorcyclist!!!!!
Good conversation, even about our differences.
One very cool coincidence.
Probably a bike ride in my future, and probably a friend.
