Yes, "sparks" (aka tingles) are what you build a good relationship on. That's why you're still with the last guy with whom you had sparks, right? (Alternate forum x-post)
Pfft, I've had women invite me into bed with them-- not to have sex, just to keep them warm at night! --and they seemed to think that shouldn't give me any wrong ideas.
Yeah, it probably was. This was about 1998 and I'd gotten a great deal of shitty advice. I'm not really sure how I should've handled the situation differently, given the circumstances under which we'd met and all of the other particulars. I had this stupid idea stuck in my head that being trustworthy and honest were positive characteristics.
In many cultures, love used to be considered too fleeting, fickle and flimsy to base a marriage upon. It was a feeling and feelings can come and go. Marriages were sometimes a business transaction, where parents betrothed a couple to seal a consolidation or transfer of property. Farmland couldn't vanish the way love could. In arranged marriages in India today, couples often say that love is something that happens after people really get to know each other.
If you treat marriage like a lifestyle accessory or something you do because your friends are doing it or-- ahem-- because your two kids need a role model? ... Maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy. Maybe I'm behind the times. Obsolete. Over the hill. Maybe I'm--- Hey, get off my lawn, you little bastards! I'm gonna arquebus your fat asses! As soon as I find my powder horn...
