okay...so i was married once......and had one other serious relationship.
after that i did the dating thing and all.
and after all that i still don't know what the hell........
i do want to get married again (not anytime soon mind you)...i want to spend my life with someone.....but how do you know what is going to work.
the first two times i realied on that sweet feeling you get for a month to a year...which makes you believe you really truly love that person, even though you may not, and end up making terrible partners.
so what makes a good parter/friend/mate/lover/kindred soul
feelings lie, feelings change....feelings are not a reliable source.
some say, make sure you have a lot in common.
some say that it comes down to whether or not you are compatible (not the same as above).
can you stand their "bad habits"? can they stand yours?
is the way you live copesetic with the way they live?
there will always be compatability discrepancies, how do you handle those?
if you fall in love with a neat freak and you are a slob, does that mean the end of the road?
blah blah blah...i am just typing out loud.
any thoughts?

I adore alyson hannigan too
Seriously, it was after that first year of romantic luster wore off that I knew I wanted to marry my wife... it was after we'd settled back into the routine of everyday life, and I realized that I thought about her a million times during the day, wanted to share my day with her, and on those rare occasions when we did fight, whatever we fought about was less important than making up because I hate to be mad at her.
I guess that's a round about way for saying that I think you have to get past the puppy love and into grown up love and commitment. It's not an easy thing to find, I don't think...
