Are you attracted to people who are good for you?

[shooraijin]

When I was younger, I was attracted to people who were definitely NOT good for me, in some cases. I think it was a rebellion thing.

But as I got older and wiser, I paid more attention to compatability. My husband and I are very compatible, and he is very good for me. I hope I am good for him too. He helps me grow, and I consider that very important in a marriage.

AND... I think he's hot. I mean... I'm attracted to him, yes.

Whoo. I mean, ... whoo. That old wizard's still got it.

ive noticed this... that when you have an infatuation with someone. It sort of blinds you of what you should be warey off... like "Oh my gosh! I really like that girl! It's okay if we don't like the same interests".... something small like that


to something big like: "I really like that girl! But it's fine that she does some immoral things that I know are wrong... but thats okay ^^ Ill help her fix it up"

that kind of mentality will really screw you up... big time

(responding to the initial question) I'm gonna have to say, probably not. I've only had one crush before (ok, ok...infatuation) and the whole thing was wrong from the start. The communication was all wrong...lol. I guess he wasn't -bad- for me, per se, but my carelessness ended up getting me hurt, which was a mixed blessing, I suppose. That's something else to factor in. They're real learning experiences.

Like MSP has stated, there have been times were an infatuation of someone has blinded me to things I felt in my gut to be true. Then after it's all said and done I look back and notice all the warning signs of how it would have never worked out. That's the odd thing, sometimes crushes seem to have so much power over people allowing us look past things we normally wouldn't. But now, I think I'm much wiser about certain situations. Well at least I would hope so.
