Friday Five - Love

[danieldwilliam]

1. What is the most important lesson you have learned from your love life?

That love and sex are very different things.

2. When it comes to love, are you an optimist or a cynic?

I am an optimist.

3. You see a long lost ex walking down the street. Are you more likely to approach him/her or just keep walking?

That really depends on the ex. There are a few I would like to catch up with and a few I would avoid.

4. Do you believe in the idea of a soul mate?

No, I think there are degrees of mutual compatability across a number of factors and you try to find someone who starts with a high degree of compatability on the factors you most value, who is similarly matched with you and who is prepared to work on increasing compatability or finding equitable work around.

5. Care to share any relationship stories?

No.

I do continue to think that you and YLW have done better than most or any couple I know on this.

[danieldwilliam]

And yet it rarely feels like work.

Perhaps there is something to this soulmate business after all.

[mountainkiss]

I think you’d know pretty quickly if you stopped doing the work, though.

[danieldwilliam]

I think you are right.

There's something about the work not feeling like work that is helpful or at least pleasant.

[mountainkiss]

Completely agreed. But there are many times over the lifetime of a relationship where it absolutely feels like work.
