Sit for a minute or two and try and think about the things that interest you and things that you would find interesting
in a person. By ‘things’ over here I am not referring to physical attributes. I am not referring to something that
might interest you in a person’s physical appearance. Again the distinction has to be drawn between a serious relationship and a
casual relationship. In a casual relationship, the importance is always for the physical attributes. We are more concerned with
what the person looks like and what the person has been endowed with. On the other hand, if we have a serious relationship, then
the physical qualities are not so important. Compatibility is probably the most important factor over here. Along with that there
are certain qualities that obviously we will be looking out for. We are talking about qualities of the mind. After all, beauty is
only skin deep! This idea might sound strange, but it is actually true. The idea is that it is possible to grow to like the looks
of a person. Once you find the character of the person agreeable you will start liking the person as a whole. It is entirely
possible to fall in love with a person if the person does not look like a movie star. That is one of the tricks that nature
plays.
There are many people who insist on taking a look at the other person’s picture before actually committing to a relationship.
They might have their reasons of course, but I, for one, feel that such a decision based largely on looks is more suitable for a
casual relationship. It is bound to sizzle off after some time. After all, how long can you keep staring at a person? And what
happens if the person doesn’t stare back at you? Or even worse, what happens if you find the person staring at another person?
Looks may be important, but they certainly are not the most important thing and should never be used as the deciding factor if
you are thinking about a serious relationship.
