Two friends are discussing the possibility of love.
“I thought I was in love three times, “one friend says.
“How so?” his friend asks.
“Five years ago I deeply cared for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me. “
“And that wasn’t love?” his friend asks.
“No, “he replies. “That was an obsession. Then two years ago I deeply cared for an attractive woman who didn’t understand me. “
“Was that love?”
“No, “he replies. “That was lust. And just last year I met a woman aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean. She was smart, funny, and a great conversationalist. And everywhere we met on that boat, I would get this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach. “
“Was that love?” his friend asks.
“No, “he replies. “That was seasickness. “
