Would you like to be part of an experiment

I propose that two people (a gender compatible paring) cannot message each other for a minimum of 3 times a day for month without falling in love with each other...

I’m open to any comments, opinions on changes, if you think two months or more times a day.

Similarly any volunteers, I’m willing to do it but if I can get two Volunteers that would report back to me daily on progress than I will go with that too. I understand given my previous posts most people will suspect this a trick but it’s not.

One proposed Boundary or rule would be:

No pictures? I’m thinking I want to remove any chance of physical attributes ruining the experiment.

Ha. I speak to a couple of my friends on here that much .., hasn’t affected me or my Marriage or their marriages . Maybe you should add in the need to be single too.

@TexChik I don’t think it’s a necessity. What do you say to these people? How can you message people three times a day without fail for that period of time and still have something to say?

@Rumplesmoothbottom I care about my friends , I say hi or good morning , comment on one of their posts , or they comment on one of mine which in turn gets a comment from me . I could talk to someone all day long and it’s not going to affect how I feel about my husband , my fidelity , or how I feel about an online friend.

@TexChik thats A nice thing to say. I love the sentiment. Thing is I don’t expect it to negatively impact on any other relationship in their lives. I’m not saying these two people are going to run away together.

@Rumplesmoothbottom fidelity isn’t just sex . I could never be in love with another man figuratively or literally, my heart and body belong to my husband and his to me ... that’s how we roll 😉.

@TexChik ooohhhh this is interesting! So your main stance is that it won’t work? Do you think it’ll be a flop like won’t work at all, but what if it’s two months or three?

@Rumplesmoothbottom first let me say my arguing with you is in no way meant to be crass or disrespectful. 😉.

I’m saying not everyone would be a suitable candidate. Your premise that two people would fall in love after 90 contacts just isn’t practical . I’m saying I love my husband more than my own life , I am [i]in love [/i]with him , and that no amount of texting with someone on social media is ever going to change that .

Now if your hypotheses stipulated the volunteers to not be married and not in a romantic relationship ... then you might have a chance at maybe 10% falling in love from 90 social media interactions in a month. Falling in love Is not an autonomic response to limited stimuli .

@TexChik a fair criticism. I think you’re right... current “availability to love” for want of a better term is definitely a contributing factor. I get it now.

But I don’t think that limits it to people who are married. I think that’s where my confusion came in. Because I don’t think that because someone is married means they are necessarily unable to love someone else.

However I do still believe that there MUST be a point that even the most devoted such as yourself (with all due respect) could not help but fall somewhat.
