Love Shock is Overrated

I used to think that having that 'nervous, electric shock type feeling' with a guy was 'chemistry.'  

I used to think it was the necessary 'wow' factor in dating and relationships.

I'm over feeling like I stuck my finger in an electric socket with that type of guy and nursing wounds from an 'exciting,' typically douchy/self-centered guy.  

That "Oh shit!  That's an intense feeling...for one minute, until I realized he sucked" type feeling.  The 'high' from that 'connection' is a form of instant gratification that you think feels good but only lasts a minute and then sucks an hour later, like taking a shot of vodka or having sex, just to have sex or shopping just to spend money or eating a cookie because you needed a sugar high.

I'm over it.

I'm ready to meet a guy I feel safe with, like I'm wrapped in a warm, electric blanket (or angel wings, for those more spiritually inclined).  

I'm embracing the desire for satisfaction and letting go of the need for instant gratification.

Satisfaction is a lot more work.
