Find someone attractive as in they are pretty to look at or as in I fancy them?

If they are pretty to look at I don't really feel anything. I just acknowledge that they are good looking and go on with my day.

When I fancy someone however, it's almost like a magnetic energy. I hang on their every word, I not only want to, but feel a need to be around them. I get butterflies. I think about them all the time. I get a little self-conscious because I really care what they think of me. I might do things I normally wouldn't, such as disrupting my sleep schedule in the middle of the week to see them. It feels sort of primal, utterly bizarre and definitely a little intoxicating.

When you make an effort to not reveal your feelings by treating them any differently or being different around them, you know.

I feel a strong need to go out of my way to avoid someone I find attractive, sometimes even relocating to an entirely different venue altogether.

When you talk to them

I specifically avoid even getting to this point. But in the very rare times it happens, I simply put on the most corporate and professional vibe possible, addressing her politely with "ma'am," and make the interaction as unengaging and generic as possible, before moving on.

It feels like... warmth and sunshine. Like when they're around, your spirits can't help but be lifted. You feel an electricity, almost like your body is suffused with energy. A smile can't help but appear when you think about them.

if it's never happened before, you might be aromantic, and you could be asexual. Nothing wrong with not being straight

I want to be around them

I want them to want to be around me

I want do terrible things to them

I want them to want to do terrible things to me

Any combination of the above

with a stranger, it’s merely acknowledging that i find like the way their features/vibe come together, and that i find them aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

when i started catching feelings for my boyfriend, i found myself always wanting to be around him. i wanted to go out of my way to do nice things for him. i cared a lot about his opinion of me, and i dressed up for him in ways i thought he’d like. i found excuses to touch him and make conversation with him. it grew and grew and i felt like i just had to have him.

on a more intimate level, it’s a very physical experience. i look at my boyfriend and he makes me blush. when i stand next to him, i feel warm tingles (some girls call it “fanny flutters” lol, but as a woman you can literally feel a warm tingly rush down there when someone you’re attracted to turns you on a bit). i feel butterflies in my stomach when he looks at me, and i can’t maintain eye contact with him for too long without getting all shy and nervous. he has a great face - i love his brows, his eye shape, his beard, and his lips. his features literally give me sex flashbacks - the way his lips and his fingers feel. i quite literally daydream about having sex with him.

It's an electric sort of feeling when you look at the person. You will feel warm and gooey...

Happy_Difference_734 · 2024-09-29T20:56:04+00:00

Depends on the person, the object of interest and their personal relationship to attraction.

I personally have felt attraction like lightning in my body, warm skin all over, or just a certain giddiness.

Fun_Astronomer_5227 · 2024-09-29T20:56:47+00:00

Butterflies, sweaty palms, flushes and heart racing.

If I'm sexually aroused I get a sensation down there.

wtknight · 2024-09-29T21:28:45+00:00

I feel a strong desire to have physical closeness and mentally having that person be constantly on my mind whenever I’m not around.

The_Forgotten001 · 2024-09-30T07:46:42+00:00

You can't keep your eyes off them

If you’re a man you know your woman is attractive if you can get bricked up just by looking at her

justsomelizard30 · 2024-10-01T15:35:17+00:00

Honestly when I'm profoundly attracted to a woman, I imagine how we could like, homestead survive in the wildness for some reason.

Like we'll find copper nuggets and make metal tools and start to thrive in our jungle hut with our little farm.

I think there's something very ancient in my brain stem.

MaleficentFig7578 · 2024-10-01T17:36:36+00:00

I don't know, there are plenty of them around, I acknowledge it but don't really feel anything about them. Conversely when I'm horny it's not for a specific person. Maybe I'll experience that "magnetic attraction" one day but I've definitely not felt anything like that since high school.

whaturuterusspawned · 2024-10-02T16:39:52+00:00

You know when you see a burger that you just want to fully integrate like a pig inside your very being ?

That.

MetroidR · 2024-10-03T21:49:11+00:00

I don't really have sexual attraction, that comes much later. I become infatuated with someone, like someone is a good friend but then you realized it's not like friendship with men, it's like friendship on fire!!!
