I’ve learned a few things about love in my time here on Earth, and one of them is that relationships built on sex usually don’t last. First, no matter how cool she is, no matter how good-looking she is and no matter how much you dig her, there is someone out there who is sick of her. (This probably applies to guys as well.) Second, there is a very good chance that when a guy begins drifting away from a lady, he’s just sick of boning her. (Again, it’s possible that ladies stray for the same reason, but being a guy, I really can’t be sure.)
Shocking, no? But it happens. Oftentimes, a relationship will begin on the concept of mutual attraction, loneliness or general horniness. A couple of kooky kids will decide they really like making sweet lust to each other even though they don’t have that much in common. After a while, the sex will go stale and there’s only so many times you can say, “Did you read what Thomas Friedman said today about the economy/environment/Middle East peace process?”
