It's very easy to mistake the chemistry of physical attraction for long-term romantic potential. But it is not difficult to recognize the truth. Beware if after sex you feel empty and not full...
Don't confuse lust with 'the real thing'. The usual scenario is that you meet someone new and one look is enough to ignite sexual fireworks, you can barely keep your hands off each other, and the excitement of it all feels like you're falling in love. However, one should be careful.
If you are ready to honestly evaluate your actions and feelings, it is not difficult to recognize the truth.
1. Attraction is more physical than emotional
What first caught your attention in your partner, did you notice his or her sense of humor or kindness, was it their looks and mannerisms... There is nothing wrong with someone looking good and appreciating it, but if that not accompanied by deeper reasons, you may be disappointed.
2. You say yes to sex to keep someone
When you first start dating someone new, there may come a time when it's clear that he or she expects sex as the next step—and that their interest in you might disappear if you disagree. Saying 'yes' can be an easy way to avoid losing their interest.
3. You are lovers, but not really friends
Sex is really good, maybe even great. But what else do you have in common, what would you talk about if there was no action, do you know personal information about them that their friends don't know - if you have trouble answering these kinds of questions, chances are it's just about sex.
4. You spend time together in bed
Do you go out together in public places where you should have fun and get to know each other better or do you mostly 'hang out' at home where sex is immediately available?
5. When the sex is over, you want to leave
Lust alone is often all it takes to bring lovers together. But when the sex is over, lust itself can produce the opposite reaction - like magnets that stick together until you turn them to opposite poles. If neither of you can stay and cuddle or spend the rest of the evening together, then the potential for true love is probably low, reports 24.sata.hr.
6. The sex may be good, but you still feel unsatisfied
Researchers have recognized that the biochemistry of sex - through the release of hormones such as oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin - should create feelings of pleasantness and connection with a partner. But that can't overcome intuition about the relationship's true potential. Beware if after sex you feel empty instead of full.
7. You resist introducing your partner to friends and family
Is this person someone you can't wait to show off and introduce to everyone Or do you intuitively doubt that the people who know and love you best will see the truth you're trying to deny - if you're tempted to keep the relationship a secret, chances are they won't long-term potential, it says yourTango.
