Search for it and it is lost, pursue it and it is unattainable. To find the emptiness...first empty without wanting, needing, We are found by a Way. What does that mean found by a way??????

This is deep: but I would say, "No", it is not (in most cases) "the emptiness" that draws man & woman together. After all, for most people, even with a deep and satisfying relationship, men spend most of their time with men, women spend most of their time with women.
As some authors have suggested, it really is as though they are two different species, two different aliens, and no matter what, they can never really understand the other.
That part about "Search for it and it is lost, pursue it and it is unattainable" definitely sounds like my life.
I guess that "found by a Way" means something like a guiding light, an angel, a being, a purpose that is directing our lives.
We just need to listen.

Lets go with a 'rock' solid relationship... it isn't emptiness that makes the sedimentary rocks bond together, it's the cement formed by the little chemical elements flowing between... the little things that with the heat and pressure of the world surrounding it that join the layers together into a solid rock.
But emptiness between just causes hollow relationships.
As to found by a 'way', I think they are using the term to refer to an unknown but wise force.
But it's fullness that draws one to another, not emptiness. A fullness of life, love and spirit.
Peace

No, it's lust and the desire of immortality.
Seems you are confusing Buddhist thought and the world of Mara(temptation). In the Buddha way the path of worldly desires is seen as futility, and a bit of a joke..
One finds the path or stumbles upon it, but the Way is always present and never removed.

The path is put in front of you . Be aware to follow it...have the desire to do it. Then do it..... When you have the will you can do anything.........and remember ...don't let fear stop you and accept the cards where they will eventually fall.... Where there is a will there is a way...........

Ignore this answer if you expected a serious one... I commend you for capitalizing "Woman" but not "man." Right on!
Also, not sure exactly how to answer this, but keep in mind the phrase "Distance makes the heart grow fonder."
Note to 2nd guy: No "no" was necessary... I know this answer is useless.
Sorry, mods!
