Sometimes I think maybe we had it right back in elementry school. You know, back when you used to pass a person a note that said "If you like me, check the box". Stuff like that. We used to figure out what eachother liked and wanted merely by passing them a note. If you remember, that was pretty heavy stuff back then. Now the issues are more complex. It's now easy to figure out if someone is attracted to you, but the hard part is figuring out how compatible the two of you are.
Sometimes I wish there was a personnell office you could go by..."Hello, I'd like to check the sexual preferences of Jane Doe." It'd save a lot of trouble really. There are so many people in the world with so many different tastes it somtimes seems impossible to find a match. Not on just the sexual level either, on the emotional as well. You may meet an amazing person and later find out they are really into 80s Hair Bands and you just can't stand that sort of thing. Or, you may meet an amazingly compatible person and later find out they only have plain vanilla sex when you are a huge latex fetishist who's into mass orgies involving midgets and whipped cream. You never know what you've gotten yourself into. It's the unsureness of it that bothers me. The fact that you never know. We as adults hide so much of our personality that it takes time before you can even hope to come to know someone. By the time you've done that you're in a relationship. And it's a pain in the ass to realize a few months in that you can't stand that person.
