Dear Princess Darby,
I have not had luck in love since living in Chicago in 1982! I have looked at other couples and have noticed something odd -- all couples look so much alike from each other that they look like almost like twins.
I am 50 now! Should I look for my twin to find love in Chicago?
Yours,
Joe T.
Dear Joe T.
You haven't had luck in love since 1982? Don't lament! Do you feel that the well of love has run dry for you? Don't worry Joe, there's always a well of love somewhere in this world for everyone. Possibly you haven't been getting "refreshed" at the opportune places.
I have to agree that sometimes couples do resemble each other. I've often thought it's interesting that you may see them with similar habits, dressing alike, or have reflecting philosophy of life. But, I think couples who stay together, usually grow together. And, if they dress alike, you know who's selecting their clothes!
On the other hand,I know couples that don't look alike, have opposite views on everything, but are truly compatible. Their connection with within their hearts and spirit.
In any case, I've witnessed several instances, where there is usually a dominant partner. It's their form of teamwork and giving in a partnership. Sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow to avoid conflict. That's a different situation, and not healthy.
Now, your question is should you look for your twin to find love in Chicago? Chicago is pretty diverse. Wouldn't it be fun to find someone different? Unless you love yourself tremendously and think you're the best since sliced bread, why would you mirror yourself?
Now Joe, being fifty isn't old. Today 50 equals 40-but not two twenty somethings! If you read my articles, you'll see that the same question is asked again and again. The answer is the same. To meet people, you have to be involved.
So, get involved with others, in life, and be active. Be.
But, you're right in one aspect Joe. Smiles. Couples do look alike when they smile. They're happy. Happy attracts happy.
Be happy and enjoy the Fall!
Princess Darby
