how long does it take to fall in love?

have you ever timed how long it takes to fall in love?  I figured it was pretty quick but apparently a new study has discovered that it only takes 5 seconds.  The heart doesn’t waste time & of course then it can take years to get out of love.  Maybe it’s gotta happen quickly so that you don’t think of escaping & once you’ve fallen there is no escaping for a very long time.

apparently love takes away pain so that we can do without painkillers & other drugs.  And for so many people who thought that Love just caused pain, well now that theory has been turned on its head, with the release of a new study.  This is so redemptive and encourages us all to call forth our courage to try yet again on the battlefield of Love.  So throw those drugs away & grab a new lover and numb that throbbing headache naturally!

what happened to my privacy?

relationships need to have a value on individual freedom & choice to flourish & grow & so do communities.  Privacy is not bad in relationships, if based on choice.  I love the net, but recently was disappointed to find that some of the big companies are trying to demolish privacy.  The word ‘private’ comes from the late 14c Latin privatus “set apart, belonging to oneself” (not to the state), used in contrast to publicus, communis.  There seems to be a risk that these companies are brainwashing us into thinking that privacy is no longer needed as a result of social media but surely we are smarter than that?  Is this really not a ploy to turn the tide in their favor so that they can have more power & make more money (not that any of the culprits really need to have any more power or money than they have already?)

Funny Personal Ads

Now for a lighter look at dating, here are some very funny London Business Review personal ads that a client sent me the other day.  The principle idea is that the LBR readership is too sophisticated and filled with ennui to trot out the usual walks on the beach and sunsets rubbish, hysterical:

  • I celebrated my fortieth birthday last week by cataloguing my collection of bird feeders. Next year I’m hoping for sexual intercourse. And a cake. Join my invite mailing list at box no. 6831. Man
  • If intense, post-fight sex scares you, I’m not the woman for you (amateur big-boned cage wrestler, 62). Box no. 8744.
