What I don't get is this whole thing of "chemistry". I don't know what that word means. Like are we talking beakers and graduated cylinders, really? I don't know what people mean by chemistry. Shouldn't you just like them if they're a really nice and sweet person? What does it mean if you have chemistry? I don't get why you just can't like people and be kind to them.

Cool! Glad someone agrees. I hate how this culture acts and accuses single people of being defected or incomplete beings without another person around. "Are you married?"-Nope "Are you seeing someone?"-Nope "When are you getting married?"-Never "What's wrong with you?!!" "You must be so miserable!" "Oh, my gosh, he's this old and he's not married, he's not dating anyone, he's single?!! Wow, he must be (insert all derogatory statements) (gay, serial killer, gay serial killer, creepy, stalker, psycopath, pedophile, predator, etc). Yeah It simply cannot be that I don't want to be in a relationship, and I have no desire to be either. Hey, at least they don't ask if I'm a virgin. Boy, would that get a whole host of lovely answers.

I personally don't understand the cultural mandating of romantic love as the "highest love". Like, I don't get why friendships are not more special and whatnot. I would rather be friends with a person than having to date them and take them to expensive dinners and movies. For real, what is the deal with dressing up and going out to movies and stuff? Why is that romantic? That seems like a waste of time in the most superfluous thing. I feel culture should idealize friendships and buddy relationships more. Romance seems so strange to me really. Plus, with all the divorce going around, it seems like friendships last longer overall.
