Relationship Lessons from Gossip Girl: Which is Better, Passion...or Comfort?

Did you watch last night's Gossip Girl? Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) brought up a good point: Is it better to date a guy that you have combustible, I've-gotta-have-you-now chemistry with? Or a guy that just feels kinda comfortable? (Spoiler alert!)

So my roommate and I were watching Gossip Girl last night-I know, big surprise-and my favorite TV baddie, Blair Waldorf. If you've been following the show lately, you know that Blair's been on this self-destructive tirade to throw away everything from her old life: her social graces, her Type-A-ness, even the devious Chuck. Enter, Nate, a.k.a. Blair's childhood sweetheart. He offers Blair his blazer on a cold night and next thing you know, she's swoony and starts comparing their relationship to Brangelina. (Um, hilarious.) But Nate's not exactly on the same page as Blair, i.e. he gives her is a forehead kiss, which even though it's sweet, might as well have been a noogie. Well, the forehead kiss sets Blair off and she literally forces herself on top of Nate until he turns her down. Rejected and newly pensive, Blair goes all insightful on us and poses a question: With Chuck she had drama and heat; with Nate, she has familiarity. Which is better?

Btw, check out the 10 things guya are thinking when they're having sex.

Sure, every woman wants both. But haven't you gone out a time or two (or maybe even months) with a guy who was really nice, even if he didn't really get you going? Or perhaps you dated someone who did the whole sweaty-palms-'n'-butterflies thing for you, only to realize it wasn't quite enough in the long-term.

Which would you prefer if you could only choose one? The guy who you have outta-control chemistry with? Or a guy that you feel comfortable with (even if your heat is more, well, lukewarm)?

As for Blair, if you watched the whole episode, you know who she picks. But my vote's for Chuck. I miss their witty repartee.

Do you know the 5 secrets all guys keep from you?

P.S. Did you notice that the next new episode isn't until April 20th? Blarg.
