Thrillho:
I think that's a bit of a blanket viewpoint to take.
It can take a long time for attraction or feelings to develop. And sometimes it's about perspective on the person you might not have until you see them in a romantic or potentially romantic scenario.

And sometimes you can be attracted to someone and then you date them and then it's like "Wow all my attraction dried up like a blocked river " and it makes things hella awkward.

OK, Elliott, good. Now, that, but slower, and to Clinton (tomorrow when he's sobered up), and I think we'll start to get somewhere.

If I told someone I was attracted to them and they were like, "hmm not sure about that, I need to go think about it a bunch," I'd just take that as a no. Wouldn't you want a person to KNOW? Relationships should be able to happen naturally without a bunch of weird awkward discussions. This whole thing is so high school it's painful.

Apart from the fact that there are various forms of attraction (and not all necessarily romantic and/or sexual in nature), attraction is also not some static factor that either is there or not from the moment you meet somebody and after that cannot change over time.
You can feel attracted to somebody form the start (physically/emotionally/intellectually/whatever), sure, but that attraction can dissipate, or develop into non-romantic attraction, once you get to know more about the person. Similarly, attraction may not be there initially but can absolutely develop by getting to know more about the person.
stayctee:
Mmmmm, yeah no. I understand about complicated levels of attraction like emotional, intellectual attraction etc. Sure. But raw, physical attraction? That's chemical. As in, pheromones. It's either there or it isn't. Because science.
