bottom line is, realistically, smart money is on a combination of both. there NEEDS to be a spark, i don't thin there's any question in my mind about that - that doesn't mean you are just friends, but a real electric spark there. that said, i think it's also important that you have a very real friendship in there as well, and that you do take into account some of the 'mundane stuff'. are you madly in love, but they're a drunk or an addict? are they unreliable? have they a history of burning through romantic involvements? are they a loser in whatever sense of the word you wish to apply it? that stuff will all come into play at some point in your relationship. it should. but, on the other hand, if they look good on paper, and their's just no chemistry there, at some point you're going to go looking for the spark elsewhere, it's only natural.
#5 - for those who don't know my story, we had to fight to get married. we're a lesbian couple, married since Dec 2012, shortly after it became legal in the state of Washington for us to marry. it's been something that'd been on the plate for 2 + years - in my mind it would happen, it was just a matter of when - i have been in love with this girl, my wife, for longer than then the 5+ years we've been together as a couple, and we've been best of friends for 13 years now. in someways we've slowed down a little, enjoying time spent at home as a couple, but still very much in love - i can't imagine that every changing - we've already been thru all the hard stuff and we've come out the other side. love is a beautiful thing.
not my kind of thing, quite honestly - doesn't sound like fun.
i chew on pencils
it helps me think when i'm stuck
they feel nice too
i like smiles. it doesn't have to be a full on clown smile, but i want a smile - it shows warmth, humor, relaxation, ease, and confidence. if a guy can't smile around me, then there is something wrong with him and i don't really want to be around him.
