Passion with a capital "P"

Passion with a capital "P" was mentioned in pandagirl's thread so it made me want to start a thread about it. How many members need that mad passion and how many don't?

Myself, I have to have it within a committed and exclusive relationship. It's got to make me weak at the knees and all over my man, with him, all over me.

I have to have passion in my R - it's something that I can't live without. Without passion, what is R? That is for me anyway.

I have come across friends who can live without passion. I don't get how that works.

I left my ex of eons b/c there was ZERO passion (it was never there).

I need it.

Well to be honest I never knew what that expression "weak in the knees" meant. I know what stiff above the knees is, but pictures of women I'll never even meet and don't really care about can do that from time to time.

Id have to really respect the person and Id have to find them interesting and intelligent, that much I know, or else Id get bored

Really it boils down to ones options and ones disposition to being alone or not

I definitely think that sexual chemistry is an integral component of a romantic relationship.

However I'm not sure about the term 'passion'; it seems to suggest a bit of drama as well, which I cannot tolerate.

TBF, do you mean to differentiate between passion and chemistry?

The mad passion I'm describing includes everything. It's not just a physical chemistry, it's that and emotional/intellectual chemistry all tied into one.

You'll know it when it hits you 'cause there's no mistaking or replacing it!

Youve been using a lot of exclamation points lately

Are you feeling okay?

Shaddup!

Shall I utilize a more formalized mode of text?

Better now?

Grrrr...you changed it from apostrophe to exclamation points.

I think there is good passion and bad passion. I've felt Passion, and it wasn't indicative of anything substantial, except for feeling crazy and making bad decisions!

What I need is a true connection, chemistry, attraction. I have found that sexual passion is instant, and intellectual passion is intrinsic depending on how compatible your personalities are, but emotional passion is something that takes time for me to grow into.

hell yes.

Even when the "spark" is gone, you can still conjure up such passion. Well, at least I can hehe.

pandagirl, the way you've broken it down has given me insight into myself which intuitively, I did know but not in exact order. I'm driven as follows:

1. Intellectually - He's got to stimulate my mind.
2. Emotionally - Once he's got my mind, then I have to like him.
3. Physically - Once he's got my mind and heart, he's got my body.

Looking at your order, you perceive things quite differently. Vive la différence.

motive, how did I know you'd need it too!

Plain and simple:

No passion= no lasting relationship.

Hold on Pyro. I thought you were all about putting out fires, not starting them. On the otherhand...Pyro = job security for a fireman!
