I have believed, and believed for a long time now, that laws of nature and life are like a common book of rules.
They are the same, and apply the same to all aspects of life and living. It's just our different perceptions of them, that creates our different perspectives. With that background, I 'll proceed with the day's post.
I 'll say something outrageous today -
Finding a life-partner is just like finding a dance-partner.
You need to look for the same things in both.
Now let me explain....
The first and the foremost thing is to be in synch. Getting two human beings in synch with each other is probably the most testing of tasks. They have to move together, not necessarily in the same direction, yet always in a rhythm. They may be swinging to their own beats, yet they have to come across as a couple that understands each other's rhythm and keeps together.
You have to be close together, yet keep up your space, and respect that of the other. No stepping onto each other's toes!! It's not really welcome.
And if you - by chance - happen to make that mistake, say sorry immediately, and you 'll be forgiven. The dance continues. But if you don't; well next dance will go to - obviously not you!
Now this one's not that important, yet if you both like the same kind of music - soft and light, or foot stamping and loud, or head banging rock - it will definitely give you a better understanding of each other's rhythm.
Even if your tastes don't really match, at least an effort to know the other's likes or dislikes will be highly appreciated. And you will receive the gift of the same in return.
Then, you need to respect each other's need to take a break, or to keep going on. Once in a while you need to do a little bit extra , coz your partner is so keen to jive-on, on this particular number, or adjust a little and take a break with him/her when they are too tired to go on any more.
You need not be a great dancer to rock the floor, just need to get along well with your one partner . . . and that will be magic enough.

thats y we call it the dance of life?? :)
one may go out of synch but still the heart beats on the same rythm ... a nice analogy but therz more to complex human relationship ... people sometimes go completely out of synch but still reamain madly in love .......
aaaa ehat am i sayin ...
to novice to comment ...
must say a nice post
Another post related to partnership between ppl of the opposite chromosomes..
Well, nicely written but isnt all this kinda bookish?
One thing still goes unanswered -
Do likes match better or do different peole pair up better. The answer u shud realise is debatable bcoz if likes pair up better, its for sure that they wont last forever n otherwise, the dislike is sure to give way and cause strife someday.
I penned down my thoughts, donno if u'd agree..
This post of urs compels me to post something related to partners soon on followurself.
manuscrypty wow! that's a thought!
shaan i agree to the complexities. and dont claim to solve it al. yet an effort at factorization i might say.
prasoon people should complement each other. its less about being like and different, more abt fitting in together, and keeping together.
external eccentricities do not matter, the two ve gotta be "in sync" and i didnt say go the same way always.
Moreover different ppl bring in different customization to their relationships!
Pretty cryptic eh?
Simply saying : a very nice one. Very unique & a perfect analogy.
