On chemistry between people

Jenna Fischer talks in one of those acting videos on YouTube on what chemistry between people is. She brings this up primarily in the context of acting chemistry between co-stars but this is generalisable.

Chemistry is when you don't have to make an effort, or very little effort, to get along with the other person. You don't have to come up with great ideas and plans or schemes, it just clicks. You can be yourself in front of them. A particular aspect of yourself, you don't show your full nasty self straight away, but you don't have to go too far from your core personality. Your jokes don't fall flat, their jokes are funny, and you build on each other's jokes. Or things smart things probably. I'm all about dem jokes.

Unexpected things happen when you least expect them to. It's strange like that, chasing after a lifestyle you don't enjoy to get somewhere you want to be rarely works out. Live your life, let lame stupid annoying things happen. Be open to possibilities. And dear gods please please please understand no one goes to bars and clubs to meet anyone anymore. And that online dating is mostly for people with insufficiently stoked egos, masochists, and erm peopl desperately searching for love. They're not losers. Just unlucky. It's a phase. It'll be over. Chin up.
