Considered one of the most romantic movie kisses of all time, its juxtaposition with "tonsil hockey" completely made me crack up.<br /><br />Fascinatingly, I've read numerous studies advising *against* talking over the phone, for an extended period or at all, before meeting someone in person. You outlined exactly what happens: you build an image of the other person inside your mind, and if/when the person doesn't measure up to that image you're not satisfied. Numerous individuals say it's good to talk first before meeting, but I think that's a logical rule, not one based on how the mind works.<br /><br />The "5-minute" rule sounds very similar to a rule David Duchovny's Californication series put into words for me: "Fu** her, friend her, or forget her" (switch out "her" for "him" as needed, obviously) and supposedly it happens in the first 30 seconds of meeting someone.<br /><br />Great post. It really helped get me through the end of this workday.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875095829923879716noreply@blogger.com
