The fascinating thing is that relationships are a sort of mutual mystery.
If women are a vending machine commodity, then we are the Soda Machine next door.
So even if we find someone fascinating, odds are that they will not be as fascinated with us as we are with them.
But you know what I miss?
Being infatuated with someone. It makes everyone else invisible and the choice really easy. You know, spending hours just thinking about how amazing having lunch would be. Thinking about the way her hair does that thing, where it does that thing. Or that look she gets just before she says something. Priceless.
I miss having an unhealthy clingy girlfriend who monopolizes my time. Shows up uninvited. Downplays all of my negative attributes and worships all of my athletic achievements. You know, gets really defensive around my friends and family because she just wants me all to herself all the time.
Maybe the problem with all of this is that without the "Love juice" (chemicals that signal interest) Our Choices really are much like staring at the counter inside Baskin Robbins, when you're not even hungry.
But I have a feeling, that being stumped is much more healthy mentally than arbitrarily choosing to date someone or being ridiculously emotionally attached to someone before you set foot into a relationship. Am I right?
