True story: I once dated brothers (not at the same time silly!); they had third brother who my friend was madly in love with but I didn't understand: he was a huge drinker and plainly unattractive. But, in the time where things were rough between the brothers - yes, because of me - (but let's be clear, my original boyfriend brother dumped me because I was going away for the summer and he wanted to be free to play around - some guys deserve what they get) this eldest brother was kind to me. I suddenly found him attractive. What? Him! That was my lesson in loving a friend. It really doesn't take much to grow real love and butterflies - and yes, even attraction - sometimes kindness is all you really need. (No, I did not date the third brother - what, do I look stupid?) LOL But yeah, I know just what you mean. We need to learn a better balance between heart and head, and we definitely need some new chick flicks! Yours, Megan @Kelly Diels, Oh no, that makes total and perfect sense to me!

We all want to be moved. I want to be moved. I want to <em>be</em> moving. Right now - and this is relatively new - I'm finding that the things that <a href="http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/nymphsreply.htm" rel="nofollow">might me move</a> are not the pretty pleasures so much as <a href="http://www.kellydiels.com/2010/01/18/showing-up-in-all-things-love/" rel="nofollow">showing</a> <a href="http://www.kellydiels.com/2010/01/13/a-6am-epiphany-about-life-wherein-i-get-unstuck/" rel="nofollow">up</a>. Christina, I’m with you. We all want to be moved. I want to be moved. I want to be moving.

Right now – and this is relatively new – I’m finding that the things that might me move are not the pretty pleasures so much as showing up.

"Huge grand gestures" are routine and mundane and don't mean as much as they did a decade ago. Sometimes there's a reason there aren't any butterflies and the reason could be as simple as the fact that I'd rather be texting other people during dinner than having the same exact conversation I had with the last 5 dates. (I know. I know. Rude.) I'm tired of feeling like I'm plagiarizing myself. It's like dating Groundhog Day sometimes only with a different guy. I want to be moved so much (way beyond being carried to the bedroom, though that helps) that I want to puke because my stomach's in knots. It really doesn't take that much either. I don't want to feel like puking because I'm wondering wtf my friend was thinking when he/she tried to hook me up with this guy. We know but sometimes ignore it and maybe it's just the created and fabricated butterflies that we should be leery of. I trust my gut though and these days, I fully expect some sort of flutter. @Kelly Diels,
