A wise prophet many moons ago said that emotion rules over logic and reason.
You develop immediate feelings based on intense emotion and then allow the emotion to fully rule your thinking. All the while neglecting the rational conclusion in the majority of cases that the situation you find yourself in is based on a dream that just does not allow you to clearly rationalize the entire situation.
Call it "lust" that turns into a "bust". A healthy relationship should include more than just sex. Unfortunately, we allow the little mushroom shaped head to rule over the egg shaped head in nearly all cases.
Perhaps one should develop a list of "must haves" and only when a new acquaintance meets your minimum number of must haves should one even consider "Falling for" that new conquest. And please allow more than ONE encounter before tallying up the scorecard.
If, however, one is a "needy" individual who must have constant companionship to feel complete, may I recommend obtaining a pet such as a dog. They are great companions, show you constant love, are not high maintenance, like an occasional ride in a car, are content chewing on a bone or your favorite shoe, and will never send you a Request For Money. Just remember to take them out twice a day for bathroom runs.
Dogs give you unconditional love. A lot of women are more like cats. ( Now before all of you cat lovers start reacting, we had a couple of cats in our family when I was growing up who were great outdoor cats, but they did kill songbirds.) So I guess, be a condor, not a sparrow.
