Is Chemistry Or Compatibility Key To Relationship Bliss?

As a matchmaker who constantly receives feedback from my clients, I've heard it all. 

"He was nice, but I didn't feel any chemistry." 

"She was interesting, but I'm not sure the spark is there." 

These phrases are the echoes of the dating world.

But can chemistry develop over time if it's not instant?

It's a good question, especially if you've been chasing that elusive intense chemistry since dating after your divorce.

Chemistry in dating is the emotional and physical connection between two people, often referred to as having a "spark." 

However, let's get real here - intense chemistry doesn't always guarantee long-term compatibility. 

So, should you stick around with someone who's 'nice but no spark,' or is it time to move on? 

Well, it depends on the level of compatibility.

Compatibility in dating is all about how well two people share similar values, interests, and lifestyles. It's what allows them to relate to each other easily and sustain a harmonious relationship.

In the dating world, women often value compatibility and the potential for a lasting relationship, even if the initial chemistry is lacking. On the flip side, men tend to prioritize that initial chemistry and physical attraction.

Here are a few things to consider in the context of modern dating:

Chemistry Is Temporary - Usually, chemistry lasts for a few years before fading. But don't be disheartened; this just means you're starting to see your partner clearly.

Compatibility is Key - A relationship with both high chemistry and compatibility tends to lead to a happy marriage, while strong chemistry with low compatibility can lead to unhappiness.

Real Love Grows Over Time - That obsessive passion you experience early in a relationship often fades. True love deepens over time as you build a life together.

If you're on the fence about someone, it's better to be single than in a dissatisfying relationship, no matter your age.

So, as you move forward in your dating journey, I encourage you to seek someone whose company you genuinely enjoy, not someone you merely tolerate.

Don't rush into relationships driven solely by chemistry, and don't settle for mere tolerance. Instead, look for a partner whose strengths and weaknesses you see clearly and whose company you genuinely cherish.

I'd love to hear from you. Do you have any questions about chemistry vs. compatibility?
