Chemistry...

Why are some folks so hung up on chemistry on the first day you meet? I know it is important, but to bring it up every time he communicates with you gets annoying. Here's a condensed version of our conversation after he asked to meet and I agreed.

He says, we need to talk on the phone before I agree to meet. I think you can tell someone's personality by hearing your voice...see if we have any chemistry. Call me ###-###-####.

I reply, You are too funny. You invite and then you put up your guards. It's ok Sweetheart, your ways are a little too cautious for me. Besides, I think it could take more than one meeting to determine if there are any sparks between two people; as one could be nervous on the first meet. Thank you nonetheless, for considering inviting me. Have a great day.

He replies, You're very welcome. Would you like to talk on the phone?

I thought I brushed him off. He still wants to talk? Hmmmm...

I know chemistry, spark, and connection are very important when meeting someone. Appearance doesn't stay far behind either. But I do believe it takes more than one meeting to determine if there is chemistry. I am also aware that sometimes those first few seconds after meeting can be a big turn off.

What is your opinion?

I either like someone or not. dunno

To know that, I need to meet someone in person and I think this should be done sooner rather than later to not built up any expectations.

I have liked someone and discovered there is no chemistry and hell, I have not liked someone and there is one hell of chemistry. batting laugh
Those 1st few seconds and you say to yourself.."oh no"...and then you have to not show that you wished you were dead at that moment?..yeah thats got to be a killer to get thru...and the date has barely begun.......
It is an interesting one PR... I am a little unsure. My ex and I had chemistry from first seeing each other. I am not sure why but it was different a deep attraction but not just physical it was more. It was like I had always known him and vice versa. Some people you just hit it off with and that can happen in friendships too... where there are never any awkward moments and words flow easily.. but silence is comfortable too. I have only felt this with a guy a few times in my life where there was real depth from the beginning.

I believe that you don`t fall in love as much as grow in love.. which is what I feel you are saying. Hence for some it takes time to get to know each other and allow your feelings to develop. I believe both can happen and does happen. For me with my ex.. chemistry was there from the beginning...but I know this doesn`t have to be for some.
Maybe different personalities experience different needs and feelings.

Unsure.. but interesting blog.

I totally agree , we say things at the spur of the moment that can leave egg on our faces , nerves does this and can make you look like a right plonker laugh when that's not who you are and mostly the last impression you meant to give off. Yes get past the nerve and shyness barriors first by then your know if theres a spark.heart wings

Big sparks are fantastic, but they often fizzle quickly too.

Slow burners may be better. They last longer and often grow in strength.
applause hope you are winning angel ...........yay
Mr. Fly...I think he really wanted a conversation over the telephone. I would not have minded, but he kept bringing up that "chemistry" word. We all know chemistry is vital in a relationship, but he rubbed it in so much, that he turned me off. I've met men that the chemistry didn't kick in until the second or third meeting. It's different with everyone, I guess.
with myself and meeting someone for the first date....having a conversation is the most important....cause even if the guy is a cutie that does not guarantee chemistry...it is either there or it is not...so...it is very awkward if there is not even an intelligent conversation....sigh
must come with your A!! game too! win her over!
