  • I never put those two in the same category, tbh. I dated dozens of women, and was intimate with a few outside of what one would call dating, and I was “attracted” to all of them, or frankly we would not have gotten together. Quite a few I also had chemistry with, and would argue, still do, if they were, ya know, still in that capacity, but obviously they are not.

    The reason I’ve faithfully been with my wife some two decades is simply respect. She checks all the other boxes AND she’s the best human I’ve ever met. She’s possessing of all the things I feel I lack and that was important to me. I try to measure myself up to her and strive to be worthy of her love, which, to me, is something certainly worth the effort.

    Attraction should be without a thought, and indeed, looking in your heart, I feel just about anyone can answer that. Next, chemistry, “do I like being around this person?” Last, can I go on vacation with this person and share finances and not get driven crazy by who they are and who they aren’t? Respect.

    You got this friend! I’m rooting for you!
