| Dear RC, It
Takes Me More Than 2 Months 2
months? Maybe I'm just slow, but it takes me more than 2 months to find out the
guy's middle name and whether he hates onions.
Slow
Down What
I'm trying to say is, slow DOWN, girl! Take some time to get to know the man before
you decide he's not for you. Give it at least THREE months. (Please don't take
that literally. Please? I was being sarcastic.) Real
Love Takes Longer To Realize So
far as those people who knew right away that their person was the one,
revisit them in a few years and see if they still say that. I hate to sound like
a cynic (too late!), but I find it difficult to believe that you could know right
away that you're completely compatible with someone. You could know immediately
that you're attracted, even infatuated, but real love will take longer.
 A
Dog That Plays Basketball
Don't even get me started
on movies. In the movies, LL Cool J was trapped
in an oven by super-intelligent sharks, and a golden
retriever beat a bunch of kids at basketball. (He DID have quite
a jump shot!) These items are AT LEAST as plausible as "love
at first sight".
Don't
Give Up So Soon
Anyway, the point is
this: Don't give up on this guy right away. After more time, you
may decide that he's "the one" or that he's just a really
good friend. Or you may decide he's a total loser and that you want
nothing to do with him.
Regardless,
if you do it right, it should take much more than 2 months to find out. --
