Old rule: You can tell if you’re truly attracted to someone in three seconds.
New rule: You can’t tell if you’re truly attracted to someone until you’ve had three dates .
The reason: People are a bundle of nerves on date #1, begin to unwind on date #2, but only by date #3 can people truly relax and maybe build some rapport.
Old rule: Your mate must meet all the criteria on your “must list”.
New rule: A “must list” looks great on paper, but paper won’t keep you warm at night .
Old rule: When it’s true love, you think about this person constantly.
New rule: When it’s true love, thinking about this person makes you feel good.
Constantly thinking about another person isn’t love, it’s infatuation, and infatuation has no correlation with being a good match. Ultimately, it’s a better gauge to assess the quality of your thoughts rather than the quantity. “If you have warm and comfortable feelings when you think about your date, that indicates a relationship built on stability, trust, and a strong ‘friendship’ factor, denoting a relationship that will more likely wear well over time,” says Piers. If, on the other hand, your relationship keeps you up all night as you analyze this person’s emails for hidden messages that reveal his or her true feelings, you may be chasing down someone who doesn’t really want to be yours.
I came across this interesting article (i edited parts of it) while surfing the net and it set me thinking about some issues. And nice Yiting told me something online just now! HAHA. My head grew bigger. Hahaha. I'm a pleased/happy/an shuang girl tonight. ;PToday is da nian chu si, happy Chinese New Year people! (: Gong xi fa cai, wan shi ru yi! Let's hope you guys can collect lots of angbao this year!I was a pig today! Slept from more than 12hrs today, from 1am this morning to 2pm this afternoon! Tsk tsk. I was THAT tired. ODAC gathering yesterday! Whee. We had a fun time together! ODACians came my house in the morning, had lunch at meiying's house and then dinner at cheeyong's house. We played cards, mahjong, crapped, ate (i must give credit to the super delicious meesua at meiying's house!)..and generally, enjoyed ourselves. (:
