As one of my ex's put it, "If you don't have the sexual component, you're might as well just be friends."
Until one of you tries to get into a relationship with both components.

msbelle, in your honor, I'm 1950sirrific today.
Also, the IM dresses from Target? Dont fit my ribcage. I think I need to go up a size or 4 which is sad. and, oddly, it's not my waist, but my RIBS.

It's possible (even easy!) to be sexually attracted to a total stranger, but I don't think anyone would call that love, or choice.
I think some people call that love. They may be confused. Or they may be ancient Greeks.

Some people may also call it vanilla pudding.
But isn't it pretty standard to distinguish in today's world between lust and love?

What is even happening?

To be fair, I have known a couple of people who quite literally fell in love at first sight and went on to have lengthy relationships. For me there's always been an initial infatuation perod that was mostly hormones, but I'm willing to accept that experience as something other than universal.

The whole vampire conversation needs to be COMMed, but I am too lazy to do it.
is this your ideal Batman voice, or one of the movie/tv ones?
Not that I'd thought about it until now, but it's definitely Adam West.
See, after watching many seasons of Family Guy, Adam West is now the crazy mayor of Qahog, for ever and ever.

I'm assuming that's not the same feeling as overpowering lust, though, right? Because the distinction is what I see as the crux of the Hessica divide.
