1. Do befriend people who share your interests, motivation, and character traits.
2. Don’t expect a love match to occur based on logic.
“She’s everything you want.
She’s everything you need.
She’s everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
She says all the right things at exactly the right time,
But she means nothing to you, and you don’t know why.”
– Vertical Horizon
Dooley knows why.
Rational thought has little to do with reward center activation. The majority of the time, irrational thought does a better job! Logic and reward are different brain centers (prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, respectively). It’s not your fault you’re not into that person that seems like your dream mate. It’s chemical and not based on logic.
Don’t get bummed if you’re locked in the Friend Zone. Accept things as they are and get something out of it. Friendships are LOVELY!
