Couldn’t disagree more.

Quick to come=quick to go.

Agree with you, it's either there or it's not, SPLady.

Basically this.

For some it takes time, for others it's there right off the bat.

Bottom line:

The chemistry and attraction (being attractive is a different thing, just wanted to throw that out there before you take it the wrong way) has to be there.

I don't know.... I recently reconnected with someone from my past and started a relationship with.... some 12 years later. Back when we met the stars just didn't align. We were both heading in different directions. There was something there, but the time was just not right.
Now we're discussing the possibility of marriage and starting a family in the not too distant future. ( a year or so if everything goes according to Hoyle.)

Quality relationships take time. People today are too fixated on instant gratification and all or nothing mentality.

I've absolutely known people for years before something clicked.


People who don't use their logic won't see the problem.

If it happens quickly, then it happened.
If it doesn't happen quickly then there are two options
1-it won't happen
2-it will happen later

So, the longer it takes to happen, the less likely it is to happen since once it happens, the likelihood of it happening is 100%

Anyone who answers that the statement is correct, they're answering something that they can't possibly know.

If you know someone for a month and decide "his isn't happening", you cannot possibly know that it wouldn't happen the next day. Similar one year, ten years, whatever,



It's like that asinine thing you hear in sports, "the longer this team hangs around, the more likely they are to win"
Well, yeah.
Teams are more likely to win a close game than one they are getting blown out in.



Anyway, the statement in question is 100% false

Very true.

I’m dancing with a honey 20-something waitress these days that I’ve known for most of three years. Right place, right time? Yes. We’re both busy and we spin circles around each other, so meeting up isn’t easy and I get cranky about that. Oh well, I’ll celebrate birthday #39 Monday and feed her dessert for my present.

She put the moves on me, too. I didn’t really think of her as more than a friendly acquaintance before this. Cute gal, personable, and strong and independent enough to get who she wants. Sigh. It was us both being born at the same hospital that cinched it.
