...involved romantically with him/her? And how exactly would define having chemistry with someone?


I got into an argument yesterday with a friend of mine who has been divorced three times. She told me that she'll go out on a date with a guy and if there is no chemistry then it will never work and she won't see him again. Mean while she is desperate to find someone to be with. I told her that chemistry is b*llcrap and it means nothing, it's not real and it doesn't equal love. That I have had "chemistry" with male and female friends that I would never date (had the women been men) because despite that they were good friends, they sucked at being good human beings in relationships. I told her she puts to much emphasis on the intangible and not enough on whats real. She said that I was full of it and that I have only experienced lust and not chemistry so I must not know any better. Then told me to ask anyone and they say it was important, so I'm asking. What do you think?
Half- I'm not saying that it doesn't exists. I'm saying that it doesn't matter for love.
Rio, so your saying that having chemistry is the same thing as having a connection?
Holden, your right. I was wrong for me to bring her marriages into this. It just is kind of annoying because she chooses these guys that treat her like crap but puts up with it because of this. Any really nice guy she blows off she doesn't get butterflies or whatever.
 
It seems to me that you're advising your friend to go out with guys she doesn't connect with just so she won't be single. What's so great about THAT?

Chemistry, however you define it, is indeed essential to a good relationship. Human decency is also essential. The trick is to look for a good combination of those two things.
