Falling in love is such a beautiful thing especially the feeling kindles in your heart the first few days when you meet someone you are interested in.
That spark and moments where you feel she/he lights up the world is chemistry all too powerful to forget, but what many do not know is that the longevity of this chemistry is determined by several things.
Hints on what are some of the things that cause the chemistry between two people, here are a number of them.
- Mutual interest
Sharing mutual interest is one thing that helps in building great chemistry between two people. Having a similar sense of humor or taste for certain things is likely to spur this feeling even more.
- Complete transparency
There is nothing as hard as being transparent to someone. However, when one finds that one person that you feel comfortable opening up to, that is the first move on establishing chemistry and building it as well. Who likes insincere people anyway?
- Matching life goals
When it comes to choosing someone to spend the rest of your life with, one will choose a person that they have a matching goal with. When two people with matching life goals meet, that results in the existence of beautiful chemistry between them.
