Biorhythms

[mortensorchid]

Have you ever noticed that there seems to be kind of a biorhythm to the dating world? It's happened to me many times in life, you can't predict when it will happen and then all of a sudden it does?

 

The most obvious example is someone who signs up on a dating website : You put a profile up, the system itself may show you "who is new in your area", and you will get traffic and eventually some kind of a connection. One who does this seems to automatically have X amount of people who are saying hello if nothing else. But it doesn't always happen with just a dating website, it can also be with any real life situation. You go someplace (bar, party, classes, etc.) and all of a sudden it seems like you are juggling 3 or 4 at the same time.

 

You could go weeks, months, even years without any action like this, and all of a sudden BOOM it happens. It's happened to me several times in life. Has it ever happened to anyone else? I believe it is something either fully explained by science or magic. What do others think?

I can kinda see what you're getting at.

 

I was asked out twice in 2013, both only a week apart.

 

 

It's like there HAD to be something in the air... haha

I haven't really had this happen to me in the dating world, but it has with general friendships. There are some periods of my life where I haven't made any new friends at all for years. Then there have been certain years in my life where I was suddenly really popular and making new friends left and right.

 

I think it kind of feeds on itself. You get the confidence and positive energy from the new relationships you've been forming. Then when you meet other new people, it shines through. During periods when you're more isolated, you have less confidence. Then people pick up on that as well. Either way, they see you the way you see yourself and react accordingly.
