Chemistry Or Lust

What do you call the force that dominates human interaction?  What do you call the thing in the pit of your stomach that makes you nervous around the person your interested in? Is it chemistry that fogs up your senses and makes you do things you would normally never do? When it comes to attraction there are so many rules and petty little games. There are rules on top of rules. It’s amazing that when considering getting into a relationship the first thing both people think about is how to be the one not to get played in the whole thing. “How do I protect myself above all else”?  People usually say chemistry between two people is the lighthearted laughter you share, the common interests and underlying attraction.  With chemistry you always want to be with the other person, know what they are thinking, maybe if they are thinking about you.  Fact: Great Chemistry leads to Great Flirting.  Accepting chemistry means giving up the “I’s” for “us”.  When the chemistry is there, there’s never an awkward moment, or boring one at that.  Everyone is looking for that perfect partner with whom they have that amazing chemistry. Ever heard the expression “You have to kiss a couple frogs before you get to your prince”? Well the “frogs” in question are going to be a little deceiving. With all the “frogs” your going to think you have chemistry when in reality all you have is lust for them. Lust in many scenarios masquerades itself as chemistry. Giving you the same little butterflies in your stomach and constant smiles when you’re around the person. The way you tell the difference is that with great chemistry comes great patience.  The chemistry is there so just the simple act of being with each other should always suffice. You know its lust when you cant explain why things between you and a love interest move so quickly. Better yet, when examining your relationship and seeing quirks that don’t quite add up. It’s a problem when you realize the only way you really connect with your partner is behind closed doors.  Even though they both might feel the same at times chemistry and lust are two completely different things.  One of which can lead you into a loving relationship while the other leads you to dangerous territory for the time.  When getting involved with your next love interest think about how you two fit together. Are you made for each other or an odd couple?

Most importantly think about if its chemistry make sure it doesn’t blow up in your face the way lust can. Lust can become way too complicated when you try and leave your feelings out of the equation.  Lust may seem perfect just for the moment but some how you always end up back at the crossroads choosing between Chemistry and Lust.
