First choice is the man who makes you melt inside until your knees become weak. The man you obsess about until your body convulses in fits of hysteria and you cry big alligator tears for when he doesn’t text right back. A man who you visualize burning a hole in a mattress with.
But you’re more grounded than I am. Men turn my brain into oatmeal….
Well, the true divine masculines do.
That's chemistry or physical attraction. I had those lightning strikes with different males through my adolescence and young adult years. Women mistake that for relationship material. Naw, it rarely works out that way. I had it bad for one man through 3 of 4 of my college years. It was like I had radar, I knew when he was around. One of my friends worked with him in the dorm. She told me...he will disappoint you, you're too smart for him. I was like...no, that can't be. Anyway, the next academic year I started seeing the man I married.
After 17 years, we divorced. I met Raul. We had crazy chemistry, we were on each other like white on rice. Outside of our physical chemistry, we had nothing in common. He was a nice guy, no doubt about it. We just had nothing to talk about that was terribly interesting to the other. I chose to stop seeing him when I met my current guy.
I didn't have that same kind of lightning strike chemistry like I did with Raul immediately, but still waters run deep. I was attracted to him for his sense of humor, we have a lot of things in common and we could talk about art, movies, books, politics, etc. When we finally had sex, he blew my mind. Extremely passionate and a man that isn't just into getting himself off...he got pleasure from pleasuring me. Raul contacted me to see if I'd go out with him again, though he had a girlfriend. I declined. He tried for several days and I just told him, go to your gf, you obviously found relationship material. He said that sex was okay, but not crazy hot like with me. Too damn bad. I wasn't about to mess up a good thing.
My feeling is that if you're not meeting someone that can meet your needs outside the bedroom, it's a doomed relationship regardless.
