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. what imperfections in a person or situation would make you say no to amazing chemistry? Character flaws and someone with no ethics or morals .

2. And what makes you STAY and develop a relationship even with things/the other person (that great chemistry person) not being perfect? Character, values and ethics.

3. Is Chemistry over-rated? No, it's an important ingrediant in the recipe

Default here's my answer

1. what imperfections in a person or situation would make you say no to amazing chemistry?

being co-workers, especially when there are other men on the job can easily get you fired if they resent the relationship you have with her

I can't stand helplessness. I like men who take action.

I also don't like men who let me walk all over them (I have a strong personality sometimes).

He's married or has another woman in his life. That's where I say- NO!

He was my boss's boss and married. Why I felt chemistry I do not know. If he felt it back I never asked. Some thing are better left ignored

When I say chemistry I mean that 'click' along with physical chemistry; not just physical or sexual chemistry What do other people mean when they say 'chemistry'?

Someone who is kind, considerate, has a good sense of humor, isn't full of themselves, is interested and engaged with an enquiring mind that is open to the ideas of others. Pheromones don't hurt either.

What would make me say "no" would be that I'm married. If I was single but they were married or in a relationship, that would also be a "no."

Chemistry isn't overrated, but it's also not enough to build a relationship on. It's a starting point. You could have everything in common with the person, but if there's no chemistry, then it'll never work. And you can't force chemistry either. What would make me stay even when the chemistry isn't out-of-this-world is I felt that we had too much in common and that I would regret giving up on it. But if the chemistry were incredible, what would make me walk away is I felt the person had personality flaws (too needy or too distancing), lied, cheated, etc. Chemistry can't make you overlook that sort of thing.
