The letter L is the definitive symbol for all the things in life that can’t be bought with money: life, love, luck, liberty, learning, and laughter. Its languid articulation also categorizes it as a letter of romance, which explains why it is the initial letter of lip-licking, leering, lascivious, libido, lacy, and ladylike. And because the racy, ravishing, rapturous letter R is another member of the romance group, it’s hardly surprising that the R and L conspire to portray the sense of defiant passion found in the words: rascal, rebel, ribald, roll, rustler, revel, rumpled, brothel, harlot, swirl, and arousal. It’s also true that both letters are associated with high levels of charm, warmth and intelligence, which is why RL people are typically bright, if not a little precocious. The name Raylene is the only one in this group to suffer from any kind of pessimistic downbeat… a result of the negative essence of the letter N – no, not, never, nada, null, and nothing.
It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil, but to the RL it’s the lack of money, and no matter what they do for a living, you can be sure that they’ll manage their money wisely. In both their careers and personal lives, boredom is the RL’s archenemy and it’s unusual to find them in jobs that don’t have some unique aspect to them. If they’re going to be teachers, for example, they’ll probably be involved in special education. And if they’re working in an office, they’re the ones who’re in charge of the social planning. Still, most RLs find it difficult to stay with any one job for too long – unless of course the money’s too good -- and it’s not unusual for them to switch boats in midstream. While this is obviously a drawback for some employers, it dovetails quite nicely into the RL’s nomadic philosophy.
Those who are turned on by the traditional notions of romance may not want to consider dating RLs, for these are men and women who don’t go by the book when it comes to intimacy. You’re likely to find yourself competing with a host of ex-lovers with whom they still have contact, or playing second fiddle to the RL’s career. Still, if you’re not the jealous type and enjoy the challenges of dating someone as popular as the RL, then you’re in for a wild ride. And if the RL isn’t your first choice for a lifelong mate, you won’t get any argument from them; they view their relationships as testing grounds for future marriage.
Only when the urge to raise a family overtakes them, will they deign to restrict their lifestyles and concentrate on one partner. But RLs grow up pretty quickly when children enter the scene and will drop their party animal facade to become a solid, grounded parent for whom family unity is a prime concern.
