Plenty of people believe in “love at first sight” but statistically this little theory’s success rate is extremely low. There are dozens of other important factors that make up a relationship and initial attraction falls very low on the totem pole. Sure, a relationship that is based off of a snap judgment and an initial attraction may work out for a while, but long term it is likely to be lacking what is really important.
For two people to be compatible and to be able to make a relationship last they must agree on the “big things” and want the same things out of life. Do you both want to have children/family? Do you both handle your money the same? Are you supportive of each other’s goals? How do you treat each other? These questions all need to be answered among several others when you are considering a future with someone.
Remember, looks fade but personality, morals and character last forever. Of course, for a relationship to work there must be an attraction to the other person; all I am saying is that it is not what is MOST important. Sometimes, people will grow on you the more you get to know them and suddenly you’ll find yourself even more attracted to them than ever!
