a dime a dozen

a few months ago i had a in-car conversation with a friend of mine and amongst the numerous topics covered that night, one of them was the idea of "true love" and how one can distinguish whether or not they've found it. i remember this conversation being quite enlightening in the fact that we concluded on the note that "true love" is about compatibility, and compatibility is about communication. every second during our day to day lives we are communicating in some way. whether it's in person, through text, or through hand gestures and body language; it's communication and to each their own. looking beyond the obvious barriers of physical distance or cultural differences, everyone has a customary vision on life and what needs not to be in it (hints where "attractions" play a part). when one is attracted to another there is a sense of common ground; common interest or common experiences. once the getting to know process (aka "talking") is heavily in the midst, information is reviled and that common ground is either maintained or disconnected. often times people use the phrases "we just clicked" or "we're just on two different levels" to describe their status with another person and depending on the outcome, one either stays united or chooses to continue on in hopes of finding someone to connect to through dating, which acts like a process of elimination or filter. sure one can date and still achieve nothing, but they've also come closer to achieving their customary vision. i personally believe that there is someone for everyone; someone who is going to love the way you communicate and the way you guys establish a common ground.. and that sort of connection only comes a dime a dozen.
