Chemistry

I never knew what it really meant to have great chemistry with someone until I met Erik.  We totally clicked since the first time we met.  It's amazing to me that after being together for almost 3 years, the chemistry is still there.  It's hard to explain what it feels like.  You just know and feel that it's there.  It's that spark that never went away.  Our personalities just work with each other so well.  We can have a conversation and totally be on the same page.  We can make each other laugh.  We can just hang out on the couch and talk and have a good time.  We've also got this strange mental connection.  Like calling each other at the exact same time, causing our phones to be busy.  Things like that have happened more than once throughout the whole time we've been together.  It still kind of freaks me out actually, lol.  We call it our "ESPN" (a la Mean Girls).  Anyway, we have this fire that I've never felt before with anyone else.

Meeting Erik taught me that chemistry can't be forced.  During my single phase, there were a couple or so guys that I tried "talking" to or whatever.  I tried to be something I was not and the times I hung out or talked with these guys always felt forced.  Sometimes even awkward.  (Ok, maybe really awkward.... I hope to God I never have to see them again....)  I only wanted to talk to them for superficial reasons, but I found out quickly that our personalities didn't match at all and there was really nothing there to pursue.  Thinking to my last relationship, I don't think my chemistry with him was that great either.  I think it's very rare to find someone you have great chemistry with, and I am very lucky to have found one for myself.
