Why dont you apply a lil bit of sciene itno it? Physics enlisted to help singles (- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4144782.stm) Successful couples are said to have chemistry, but a study by an Oxford graduate suggests that dating may actually have more to do with physics. Richard Ecob adapted a system for modelling atoms in radioactive decay to investigate how we look for partners. He found that "super daters", people who have many short relationships, have a good effect on others' lives. This is because they break up weak couples, forcing their victims to find better relationships. Transit states At the root of the system, says Mr Ecob, is the similarity between the probability of the nucleus of an atom decaying and that of a couple breaking up. The decay of a nucleus is described in terms of "transit states": the series of change it has been through to get to its current situation. The probability of someone having been in two relationships, for example, is the same as that of a nucleus decaying twice. "We had an inkling that it might be the same because we saw similarities," he told the BBC News website. "When we worked it out, the graphs we got were very similar."
