So now I am curious about the '36 questions.'

The 36 questions were developed by Dr. Arthur Aron to help boost intimacy.

BTW, one of the groups here was started based on those questions -- although it's evolved into a regular question group, where the questions are mainly now for fun or personal reflection and getting to know your fellow members better, not necessarily for intimacy. [agnostic.com]
@bleurowz Thank you for this link. Must have missed when it first appeared but am saving the link. Now another question is how can answering questions of which two people will probably have very different answers make them fall in love??? Maybe when one is young and inexperienced but later with some experience under their belts not so much. People also often have maladies that can screw up any relationship (1 partner is bi-polar and another was alcoholic). As I age and gain experience I have seen fewer and fewer can meet my expectations for true, deep love. I think at my stage, harmony, calmness, some shared interests, emotional stability and concern for a successful relationship will suffice.
@JackPedigo I don't think they can make people fall in love, but they can help two people develop intimacy by getting them on the road to opening up to each other. Dr. Aron was exploring what it means to be intimate and mainly trying to find ways for people to get to know each other better; not just with romantic relationships, but with all types of close relationships.
@bleurowz I agree. I have said and posted that relationship[s should develop in stages. First stage should aim for friendship. Perhaps, near the beginning people can exchange the questions, take time to come up with answers (apart) and then compare notes. One thing, for sure, there needs to be a fostering of communication skills.
@bleurowz Silly, silly me. Looking over the groups I see the one for the 36 questions and I'm a member!!! Too many things to keep up with.
Because love can take many forms, I think it can be infinite as well as varied, for one's entire life!

Posted by KhaCRYou ever feel like you found the perfect sexual partner then he turns out to be a complete 💩bag and you can’t find the satisfaction in other encounters?

Posted by KateOahuYes, I agree that the reverse is also true.
Posted by JolantaThis is what women have to put up with and then they want to be intimate while we are still angry because they will not do their share of housework.

Posted by LetzGetRealMy family has often commented how I should become a "cougar"... as I look pretty good at my age and have a younger mindset than some of my peers, I guess this is there rationale?
