I dated my first girlfriend from 6th grade until my sophomore year in college and then we split. I began dating and eventually cohabited with my next girlfriend. After returning from vacation with the second girlfriend, I ran into my ex at a supermarket. She gave me that look and I knew I had to see her again. Later that night, I called my ex and we agreed to go out the next night. I went by her house and we talked for some time and I realized that I was still in love with her. After a while I suggested we grab a bite to eat. Every place I suggested she disliked. She wanted to go to her favorite restaurant "Shoney's!" I refused. After we finally decided where to eat and continued our conversation I realized why we stopped dating in the first. We simply outgrew each other and had nothing in common.
I now believe that I was fooled into believing that I was still in love with my first love. But in fact, I was just drawn to her beauty and her *&#%%$^+! - enough said!
Back to the question, I think different people satisfy varied needs. Perhaps one does it sexually and the other intellectually or financially. The key is to find a balance.
