Happy Valentine’s Day: Love chemistry online

Courtship has taken many forms since the dawn of time; men showing hunting prowess, then the old standby, men and women who met outside the confines of the cave and discovered similar interest – running through the jungle, swimming in mountain streams and making plans to set out from their clan without the tribes permission.

Then as now, the magic chemistry was the same, and could be reduced to one single factor, the kiss that sealed the couples’ fate and made partners for life. While time has indeed become more complicated, as the old song says from “Casablanca” – “a kiss is still a kiss, the fundamental things in life still apply.

For instance with the magic of online dating similar “clans” or of more profound seriousness – religious believers in any of a number of world faiths — can find like minds

Love can be ecstatic or it can be painful, I will leave the reader with a quatrain from a famous song by Jacques Brel that should melt many a lovers’ heart.

“I will make a land, Where love is King, Where love will be Law, Where you will be Queen”
