Last night I was having a conversation with my best friend JC regarding how we change in life, but we did it with analogies from How I Met Your Mother. And then we realized that in life, we go through our phases which are represented by various characters. Well, at least in our dating life.
We obviously start with the first phase, Barney.
We start looking for a quick "hookup" and are always just chasing something superficial. We try to live it on the wild side and think we can conquer everyone. But all the while, we eventually realize what it is we really want. And thus, it leads to the second phase...

We become a hopeless romantic, often wondering when fate is going to intervine and present our other half. We start thinking about destiny and somehow become dreamers. We begin to see things differently than before, slowing down our pace and focusing more on a long-term deal. All this, so we can reach the final phase.

That's right, the big goof himself. By now, we found our ideal person and feel more complete. Both of you become like a two-headed being, inseparable. Your friends look at what you have and realize they want something similar, but you don't miss the previous phases. By now, you're such a goof, that your other half wouldn't imagine you another way.
Overall, these are the kind of silly philosophical things my buddy and I come up with at the late hours of the night. It's always good to have a friend who can follow your strange way of thinking, no matter how far they might be.
