What Does It Take?

"The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements, compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, suprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that one atom called love."
Kahlil Gibran, 1883
Chemistry-the interaction of one personality with another.
Chemistry-any or all of the elements which make up a certain compound.

A combination of many things can result in love. A combination of some of those things may result in lust, while others will result in friendship.

I recently read an article which detailed five specific types of chemistry. I wonder if anyone would agree with this:

1. Sexual chemistry-As I'm sure we all know and have felt this is the most common type of chemistry. Usually when you meet someone and you feel this type of chemistry you are trying to get out the club and back to this person's house. Yep-all you're thinking is let me get me get it on and that's all. Yes, you can feel this for multiple people at once and when you scratch the itch...it's like getting high, eventually you will want it again.

2. Comfortable chemistry-"I loved you gray sweatpants, no make-up...so perfect" John Mayer spoke some powerful words there. He loved that girl and he swore that they were so comfortable. She was everything that he would have wanted in a friend and as a result a lover. Yep, just because you have that comfort zone doesn't mean that there's no sexual chemistry coming.

3. Comedic chemistry-Girls just wanna have fun. So do guys. It'll help out later...trust me.

4.Complementary chemistry-All you do is laugh. Silliness is the order of the day when you two are together. This is usually found with someone who is complementary to you and not supplementary....like the quarterback who dates the nerdy girl. He feels smart and she feels beautiful.

5.We're just too alike chemistry-The person who matches you in everything. It's like having another you! Which works for well...predictability.

Try one or better yet, try them all and see how you get along!

I think some type of chemistry has to be there. Chemistry to me equates to a level of attraction. A combination of physical and mental attraction works fo rme.

Absolutely. For me it's definitely all about the mental..which ultimately leads to the physical.
