Lust isn't the only thing that attracts chemistry between people. Sometimes you feel attracted to get to know people who have similar traits with you. Like when they have the same interests or act/think alike. Like they say, birds of a feather flock together. \n\nOn the other hand you could also be attracted to someone with opposite values or qualities. These people may personify what you secretly wish you could be and therefore arouse your keeness to be associated with them. \n\nWhatever it is, when you find someone whom you feel "magnetic" towards, just follow your instinct and get to know them. Keep your mind open.

This is the soul of sexual attraction. This attraction, which manifests itself in many physical sensations, from a faster heartbeat to a physical attraction to another person, is essentially the attraction of male to female and female to male to become a complete, divine whole, connecting to their source in G-d. Not that they've ever been completely disconnected; but consciously, people can go off on their own individual narcissistic, even selfish, path. And here, there's a voice in you saying: I yearn for something greater. When a man is physically attracted to a woman, or a woman to a man, it may seem a very biological thing, but from a Jewish, Torah perspective, it's just a physical manifestation of a very deep spiritual attraction.

Yes, it's very true because there is more magnetism between people who are on opposite ends of the character spectrum. However, this is just attraction and it takes more than just that to maintain a long term committed relationship. You have to have enough common ground to build it on.  Just enough though because otherwise the relationship will be quite passionless. Attraction is needed for passion.  Compatibility or common ground is necessary to take that passion further and to prevent it from dying out.

Unrealistic expectations sow the seeds for resentment and anger.  The smart thing to do is realize that the person you are with is who they are.  The reason you were attracted to them is not based on potential, but on reality. So many people go into a relationship and expect to change the things about the other person that they don't like without realizing that if they accomplish those changes, the other person will not be the same person they were attracted to and if they don't achieve the changes, their disappointment is due to their unrealistic expectations.  People will only change if they do not like that aspect of their character enough to change it.  Most people are comfortable with who they are and wont change.

Its is common knowledge that when there is an object just beyond your reach you pine for it more than ever.Unfourtunately, humans are programmed to mate, although most of us are praticing monagamy, there are still those who are more in tune with their primal roots. Sexual attraction is a very strong feeling and some of us cannot tell the difference between Love and Lust.

ATTRACTION ..at first sight is the key word i guess. \n\nWe always know we are in love during the relationship of course, otherwise we won't open up ourself if didn't feel any love.  It is.."after" THE relationship when we feel the magnanimity of that love.  Usually, the reason why we only say that you didn't loved a guy/gal after a relationship it's because he/she have caused you too much pain. But later on you will realize especially if your into another relationship, wherein you can compare your past that you can really say how much you loved someone.

he just is saying he has a strong feeling of having sex with you. and yes he did not mention love in it or like so rule that out. lust is just wanting to have sex without affection of any sort. lol

Looks can be the initial attraction, but sexy is something else entirely. Sexy is how a woman holds herself to the world.

There is someone for everyone. I am attracted to people that some may not think are attractive, and am not attracted to some people who are so called sex symbols. It is all a matter of preference, and you will find someone as attracted to you as you are to them.

yes it's definitely hot...that creates an initial attraction, but then you have to keep them interested (i.e. conversation, likes/dislikes, personality, etc.)...\n\ngood luck!

Attraction is when you look at someone and say, "Mmm, mm."\nLove is when you do what it takes to make them say, "Mmm, mm."

Of course you can garner a strong attraction for a person.  Strong enough to where you believe its love.  Everyone falls in love differently.  I do believe it's possible to have a strong affection, attraction and desire for a person that you haven't met face-to-face.  Is it a strong love or true love - that's the better queestion.

I don't believe there is love at first sight.  I believe there is lust at first sight (initial physical attraction) then love can come later.

Ideally there is no particular age when u can get attracted to any individual.Attraction starts the moment u start identifying things and understanding them..Attraction can be mental,physical or psychological.It depends on an individual as if found someone interesting the attraction may even happen at a very tender age
