They say there is no perfect relationship. This is true, but:
1. what imperfections in a person or situation would make you say no to amazing chemistry?
2. And what makes you STAY and develop a relationship even with things/the other person (that great chemistry person) not being perfect?
3. Is Chemistry over-rated?
1. I would find it VERY hard to say 'no' to amazing chemistry. IMO great chemistry is a sign that two people are compatible. I've never had great chemistry with someone unless we matched on an intellectual level as well as physical.
2. I would not stay or develop something unless the chemistry was there. I might get to know the person better to see if over time the chemistry develops, but I would not start a romance without it.
3. No, chemistry is a must! Its like the blood pumping through your veins - absolutely essential to a romantic relationship especially in the beginning.
You know I'm thinking mathematics. Not sure if you know two multiplying negatives bizarrely make a positive
Not sure if YOU know that atheism does not automatically equate negativity. Why would you even make that assumption?
I, for one, would feel quite negative if I thought the purpose of my life was only to live in hopes of getting "into" the next realm, whatever that may be to a theist--or to satisfy the ego of some higher being(s).
Seriously, though, it's one thing to post that you wouldn't wish to be with an atheist because you yourself are religious--it's another thing to make a somewhat rude generalization about all atheists being "miserable." Why do that? I wouldn't say that about religious people...I know plenty that seem to be very happy, as I am a very happy as an atheist. That just kind of lacks tact to make a comment like that, IMHO. I respect other peoples' choices and beliefs (or lack thereof) and I think if would behoove you to consider doing so as well.
Even the most kindness, nicest, and respectful people can suddenly become judgemental, critical, and mean spirited when they hear of someone different than them ... For me, I was engaged for 3 years when my ex started cheating on me and without letting me know, or asking me if it was ok, he gave me this ... It was a short-lived affair so he said, but I gave back the ring, left the key on the table and chose to be with someone more honest for my future .... With that, I'm now in a "restricted" dating pool because I am very loyal, kind, respectful and would never pass onto someone what was passed onto me ...
So for all those that cheat- think about what you might be passing on without consent.
Cheers and wishing you all peace, love and happiness. And, the perfect love one day

I don't mind imperfections, but severe deficiencies in character, will kill any chemistry that exists. Mean-spirited, negative drama queens are a buzz-kill.

No one is perfect. But he may be perfect for me. If he is a good soul, I can overlook a lot of things.

Thank you for posting this. As an atheist, I get really tired of people slamming atheism, especially when it's clear they don't really understand what it means to be one. I can understand why someone who's deeply religious would not want to be with an atheist. Likewise, I couldn't see myself with someone who was very religious, no matter how great the chemistry was. But one thing I don't do is judge them for their religious beliefs. All I ask is for the same respect.

That H is the most important thing there. Don't wanna sound more douche, but you can try looking into my perspective.
I ask the same question to atheists and theists.
"Why are you on atheist?"
<comes a vituperative tirade of angst, personal failures, morgages, credit card debts, sky daddy didn't cure my mom's breast cancer>
"Why are you a theist?"
<a string of positives and appreciation of life and family, the good things>
Certainly, I don't wanna be around a grumpy person who whines about why she was forced to become atheist, her low points of life and how God who does not exist didn't fix her life, when her life sucks because of her and only her.
Generally, they give me some scientific gibber which they got to read off email forwards. On the other hand, these people are so illiterate they don't know what a quadratic equation is
