The Wonder Years:

If you want to see how typical your relationship is, you needn't look further than this show.

How many times has Winnie put a look of dumbfoundedness on Kevin's face at some unbelievable mixed-up thing she has done or said? How many times has the girl I love done the same -in the exact same way -under very similar circumstances? Soooooo many times. It's really hard to believe that we are so controlled by our genetic make up, but it's true. We are doomed to repeat the same things that billions have repeated before us. Maybe I should refer to the show to see what comes next?

I hated the last episode of this show. Hated it because it was real, too real. If you love someone more than anyone and they don't feel the exact same way, then they won't stay. It's just as natural as shooing away a loving-lost-puppy that follows you around. At first you like it, but soon it becomes annoying. People are addicted to winning love and being in the first stages of love. The blissfulness of first getting to know another person. It seems like the best thing in the world. But how long does it last? Not too long. So after you become familiar with this person, then that "magical" feeling you would feel every time you would lay eyes upon this person seems to be gone. But it's not. It has transformed into something deeper (unless you really don't love that person).

If one or both of you can't see this, then basically one or both of you will 'break-off' the relationship. How many times will you repeat this same thing until you learn what is really happening? Author Deepak Chopra said it nicely:

" ... The majority of people find themselves not in romance but in a long-term relationship, usually marriage. This phase occupies much more of our lives than falling in love ever could. If falling in love is a brief opening to spirit, long-term relationship is the broad plateau that follows -we will simply call this plateau 'commitment'. "

If you don't realize this, then you will be doomed to push away perfectly suitable people, possibly the perfect person for you. Eventually you might marry in haste- marry before that "magical" feeling transforms and you mistake it again for lost love. Settling for someone that isn't completely right for you.

How is it that even the most level headed intelligent girls/women, when in a relationship, do the most crazy mixed-up damned confusing things you have every heard of??? Why do they have such a strong disposition towards creating turmoil? If you want action and excitement in a relationship, don't f*ck'n do it this way, go out together and do some physical adventure or something else. None of these female mind games that men don't understand or want to understand. Keep it for your female friends, not your life-long mate!!! Control yourself!

[Of course I'm generalizing]
