I’m still optimistic that our basic inborn drive to set up a bonded relationship will carry us beyond this phase of open sexuality. I believe a basic instinct exists for us to pair off in order to provide a safe environment for our children. If this is not done, those who don’t commit to having and raising children will simply drop out of the gene pool.

“This morning I saw a couple heading into the General Classroom Building. They had been walking together and were separating. I noted it was amazing how you can tell a couple’s relationship just by watching them for a couple of seconds. He likes her, she likes him, but the relationship is new and neither one of them have the courage to vocalize their feelings. It’s the smile on their faces and the tuck of their heads as they turn away that tells me this. They walk away from each other in a sort of euphoria, not noticing anyone or anything around them.”

“I’ve heard Dr. Anderson talk about love maps before and since then sometimes I catch myself having reactions to people. Like that guy that is in every woman’s life. The one that she will always hold a special place for and she can‘t describe exactly why. Whenever he comes around she loses feeling in her body. Her heart beats faster and everything is a little hazy. Is there a way to remedy that? Can you stop yourself from having such a reaction around this person? I wish there was. Then maybe I wouldn’t feel so helpless.”
