This Chick's Opinion

I don't know why I'm suddenly thinking about this but recently one of my close girlfriends and I had this debate over the importance of chemistry. She had the attitude that people exaggerate the importance of chemistry when meeting someone new. As you probably already guessed I disagreed, at least somewhat. Yes there are things more important than physical attraction to build a solid relationship. A strong friendship and shared goals and interests are certainly much more important. But all that being said, you still need more than that to make a relationship work. No matter how much you have in common, if you don't want to so much as kiss the person sitting across from you there may be limited potential for a happy ever after. Chemistry alone won't get you through the tough times but it certainly will help you want to fight. At least that's my personal opinion.
