- Crackless
Dear Crackless,
Oh, the crack. The problematic, beautiful, intangible crack. That business can get us into trouble, but we need it! Without it, we should just be friends. As you are undoubtedly discovering, you can't force it. You can force yourself to give someone a chance, if they are otherwise worthy of your time, but you can't force chemistry. It's easy to think that I should like this person because he/she is smart or attractive or funny or smells good - but all those factors are irrelevant without that crack.
Someone once told me that you can't ever really know for sure if you're attracted to someone until you kiss them. And like Helen Hunt posited in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", ask yourself: Would I puke if he kissed me? If not, give it a chance! Otherwise, friends it is!!
