Intensity

I think the only thing one really needs to know in dating is how to convince the person you're with that he/she is the most beautiful/intriguing creature in the world. The best part about it is that whether or not you actually believe it's true falls second to the joy of suspended disbelief for both parties. Before this guy, the rational part of me would never have been able to believe it possible.
I may be completely delusional. I know one thing however - I am never dating someone that doesn't make me smile this much in the beginning ever again.
