The brain is 90% of what's involved in love. Never mind those hormones, pheromones, and peripherals (though my hormones may be turned on by your peripherals)--what gets me enthusiastic about any human connection is great conversation.

I believe in choosing lovers from among one's friends, because you can't get truly naked with someone until you know them well enough to trust them really deeply. And if a friendship is to grow into a fire, for me at least, the spark will come from the collision of our minds.
