The Poof! Effect
When you first start dating someone wonderful, every conversation is filled with “me too!”s, adoring eyes, and warm fuzzies. Same likes and dislikes, every match bringing you closer to that “he’s too good to be true” mantra. No one that wonderful can exist. The universe doesn’t work that way.
“I love gouda cheese.” Me too! “I have ADHD.” Me too! “I hate licorice. It tastes like feet.” I know, me too! “I love lamp.” Me too! “I hate cooking, but I don’t mind doing dishes.” Really?! That’s perfect! I love cooking and I hate doing dishes! Do me on the kitchen counter, you fool!
