It has been said that Kim and Richie have fallen for each other too fast. It's been a little over a month of dating
and they're in "love." (As in state of infatuation that includes saying I love you, but that excludes other qualities
and benefits) Isn't that sweet? Inquiring minds would like to know....how soon is too soon?
If you goe to askmen.com and purchase "The System," you will learn that there is a scale with which you
can gauge your (potential) mate's Interest Level. The higher the number, the higher the person's level of
Interest. If the Interest Level rises quickly, then The Challenge level falls since, theoretically, we all like a good
(but accessible) challenge. Doc Love, author of the system and my Allah, states approximately that it's not the
reward of sweet nooky at the end we crave so much as the thrill of the chase. It's not the get, but the want
that stokes our furnaces.
According to this theory, Kim and Richie are essentially destined to "crash and burn" as a result of their rock
'n' roll, live fast, love fast(?), die fast lifestyle.
However, it is in the humble opinion of this enchanting, virile, and successful webmaster that to "want"
encompasses many things beyond chasin' skirt. As long as there's some form of "want," all can still potentially
be hunkey-dorey. To want and to get are simply among the first baby steps in this journey called
"being smitten," anyhow. Ergo, that they've gotten over the inital inconvenience of having
to attain each other just means there are copius amounts of work left to be done in other areas.
Q: Once you've got, how do you keep? That is, once you have your Marge, what do you chase, what do you
want, Homer?
Kim wants to win the online love war very badly, and Richie does too. The answer to "Once you've got, how do you
keep?" is, simply:
WAGE A WAR. This is where their new challenge lies. Not in getting each other, but in getting each other's
goats. Because they've found this outlet, the OLW, their need for challenge is satisfied and their noodles are
never put on neutral. They're always on the offense with each other. Richie stated last night that Kim
keeps him on his toes with this War. Kim agreed that the reverse was also true. Case and point:
adequate challenge and interest level are present.
Simple? Yes. But t'aint there a beauty in simplicity? Genius? Most definitely. You
can come to expect lots more of these kinds of antics when those two silly lovebirds get together and chew the fat.
Why don't you start your very own love war right now?
