chemistry 101

I don’t believe “clicking” with someone is enough for a relationship to work.
I’m sure everyone’s experienced the “click” factor at least once in their lives: you meet, you find you can talk about anything with each other, you laugh at the same jokes, you love the same music, you both thought Twilight was a terrible film etc. But I noticed that there is this prevalent naïve assumption that if you “click”, the relationship will simply work itself out. As if everything will just fall into place because you “click”. Reality check – when you’re trying to share a life with another human being, things will get ugly. And just because you both share a secret love of rockin’ out to Michael Jackson, does not mean that you will naturally share the same values on how to accommodate each other in a relationship.
