Chemistry

Chemistry is a very complex thing. Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't, and sometimes there is no rhyme or reason why. You can have all the camaraderie in the world with someone. You can laugh at each other's jokes and think along similar lines but without the addition of chemistry, you will never be anything more than friends. On the flip side, you can discover you have chemistry with someone you don't even think you'd like to be around. Chemistry isn't the same thing as physical attraction, mind you. Sometimes you can find someone absolutely stunning and realize you aren't drawn to him in the least. However, there are times when chemistry can be felt without ever having met another person physically. Sometimes you feel the tug of chemistry just by talking to people over the phone or even via the Internet and you just know. In the past week alone I met three different men with whom I had struck up a friendship online. We carried on an easygoing and friendly conversation, and I would even say I'd be disappointed if I never chatted with any of them again, but I felt absolutely no desire for more than a friendship. It just wasn't there. But I met someone a month ago to whom I am drawn, and even though I have tried to fight it, I know I will see him every chance I get, and I will ride the wave with him until we either end up married or killing one another.

Yes, chemistry is indeed the frustrating nightmare you remember from high school and college. How much easier life would be if we actually liked the people we felt compelled to be near.But life doesn't work that way. We don't always get to pick and choose the people we meet, nor do we get decide who likes us. All we really can do is allow ourselves to be open to meeting new people, and accept the fact that we will meet a lot of friends until we find someone who possesses the elements to complement our unique mixture.

 My degree is in English. I all but failed high school chemistry. It may be not be complex, but it sure doesn't make any sense to me.
