Can you imagine how we would look to visiting aliens?
They would think we were crazy. They'd see single men and single women, most of whom are unhappy to some degree with their lack of coupledness. The men want women. And the women want men. And there are lots of men and lots of women. They crowd dance floors together - scores of them (us) packed in together in dark rooms. They travel miles to picnics and discussions and wine tastings and parties. They swarm to beaches and singles bars and concerts and crabfests. But they don't get together. Sometimes when they're in discussion groups together, they lament their singleness, tell woeful tales of unrequited attempts at togetherness, decry the character flaws of their former other halves. It breaks your heart to hear some of their stories.
Seeing all this, an alien would be dumbfounded. Why suffer when the solution seems so obvious?
Get together.
Just do it.
Quit your belly aching.
Get out there and couple.If he spoke English and didn't get green ooze all over everything he touched, an alien would probably grab people at random and say, "Here, you go with him and you go with her."
Of course, it wouldn't work. People would separate as quickly as they were united because earthlings have to be turned on first. And aliens have no concept of what it takes to turn someone on. Actually,
I'm not sure myself.
It cannot be forced at all, IT somehow, just happens.
But once IT happens, the connection between woman and man doesn't separate very easily.
Have you recently been around a newly in-love couple? It is the same with everyone with every generation, at any decade. The talking, the racing pulse, the blushing, the excitement reflected in their voices. The google eyes they make as our eyes glass over when they, once again speak on their new favorite topic.... themselves - their new found love - their couple-hoodedness.
aliens to love - aliens of how to make the connection - aliens waiting for our turn - aliens in love.
Once You Find Your Mate
