“One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

**The love market resembles the work market in that they both require you to polish the fuck out of your resume to enhance your chances of being picked**. Reveal the best. Conceal the rest. Half truths, twisted lies, better be careful if you don’t want to raise any red flags. In the market of Love, experience won’t necessarily be your best asset. It’s rather your great looks and charming smile that’ll make you the most wanted candidate.  Bring a splash of sex appeal to the table, and baby it won’t be too much longer till the deal gets sealed.

Paradoxically, while the most important interview we’ll ever need to carry is the one that involves choosing our life partner, it’s also the one we prepare for the least. And we can all surely attest that the best way to fail a test is  to not prepare adequately for it. The metrics on which we base ourselves to evaluate our potential prospects are foolish at best. Sucks for us that falling in love is a synonym for falling into delusion. **Sexuality stole the hell out of all our preexisting sense of rationality**.

Emotional immaturity? Aggressive personality? Why the heck should I care if you make me freaking horny? Until it’s 20 years down the road, dry spell is your new middle name and your once so-sexy-I-want-him-to-be-my-forever-baby-daddy is quite the expert at generously starving you emotionally. “If only.... if only I hadn’t fooled me.”

Be careful what you wish for, cuz you might get it all, they say. Probation time is evaluation time. And human beings are such complex creatures that they can’t be figured out in the blink of a winking eye. **Perhaps if we didn’t race on the highway of Love with our eyes closed and our seatbelts untied, we wouldn’t reach the end of a precipice before we could have prevented it**.

While it is fair to say that we are constantly in a process of change, evolvement and growth, and that therefore even the most suited pair could one day face the same end of that precipice, it goes without saying that by choosing the right person we inevitably reduce the risks associated to such outcome. **The emotional cost of not playing our rational cards right upon choosing a partner can end up bankrupting us**.
