Just had that happen and it killed me. It is the absolute clincher for stealing my heart - or at least getting me in a seriously romantic frame of mind. Lethal. Excellent blog BTW :) Just wanted to comment about the kiss on the forehead thing. Just had that happen and it killed me.

Cause it's SO simple and pure that we can't even begin to wrap our minds around it. Kinda like atoms. Simple yet you need a PhD to really understand and pontificate. Yet we all have atoms, we all work with atoms daily. We're all ept at our own level, most of us just will never completely understand them. As for the heart skipping beats and breath getting caught in throat about certain boys I SO understand. They are probably the ones we act most foolish over too. Stupid boys... :P Amy – Nope, love is a complicated confusing emotion. Cause it’s SO simple and pure that we can’t even begin to wrap our minds around it. Kinda like atoms.

Don't get me wrong...I have yet to actually FIND that person, but I HEAR that's kinda how it works. You still have to work and try for the relationship MOST definitely...but the games aren't necessarily frustrating and tiresome but instead fun and playful and making us look forward to the next round. That being said, if you ever need help with a stalking I am a Google-stalking-pro. Trust... :) Taylor – It’s funny how the rules of the game suddenly make sense when you are playing with someone you click with.

If I figure out the algebraic formula I'll pass it along, but I think I'll also be a bajillionaire so that'll be cool... It IS difficult trying to strike the delicate balance. Between the foolishness and the nonchalance, the excitement and the calm there has to lie a place where is just makes sense. But I certainly haven't figured it out yet. I occasionally have flashes back to the recent foolish things I did for the boys I liked and I kinda cringe and curl up. I'm SO not cool! David – Haha, I don’t know if there is a perfect equation!

I actually had to rewrite part of my post after Jamie sent me this cause it was SO similar! I like your clinical diagnosis of Fascinating New Person Syndrome...I'm definitely going to borrow (i/e steal with proper accreditation) it. :) And your analogy about a new toy is SO TRUE! And I sometimes wonder why I go crazy for all the new shiny things when my Velveteen Rabbit has lasted me so well. It's a delicate line between going for the new toy and staying with the comfortable one. Maybe I need to find a way to feel new shiny toy giddy every now and again about my Velveteen Rabbit. Course it would be swell to have a Velveteen Rabbit to begin this whole equation with...hrmm...does that void it? Tina – I know, right?

I wonder how much of it is finding someone who makes us a fool, but is a fool right there beside us. I can't remember the movie, but I remember a scene where they shut the door after a date and both are doing a happy dance on either side of the door. One catches the other...it makes me smile to remember. Well...half remember... :) Jenny – SO true! I wonder how much of it is finding someone who makes us a fool, but is a fool right there beside us.

Grace is DEFINITELY not something God graced me with. :) Isn't that the best way sometimes to find someone who is a good fit for us though....they see us at our dorkiest and love us for the foolishness rather than in spite of it?!

It's so frustrating trying to fit into that mold that some boys make. Don't seem over eager but don't act like you are totally uninterested. Wait till he calls you but try to keep the look out for other boys to a minimum just in case. It's ridiculous! I still have a boy that I refuse to talk to until he talks to me first. If I go against this rule my heart beats as I hit send. Why is it all so troublesome? Aren't love, lust and want simple emotions when you really think about it?

It is so true with love..everyone says be patient.... be patient, but all you want to do is get to know this person and be with that person and TALK to that person, but how are you going to do this without calling that person and contacting that person (Or Stocking Him *ooops*). Must you wait for him to call!!! Pullllleezzzz!! I surly hate the games people play. But I know for sure your pocket full of dreams will find you the right guy when you are truely ready!! xoxo I loved the blog.
