--- Quote from: Farideh on 03 Nov 2020, 14:09 ---When it comes to attraction, I've always been puzzled by descriptions in books, where the protagonist meets someone and immediately falls head-over-heels in love. The 'love' in those cases is based purely on physical attraction: the other person is so devastatingly handsome, etc. I've never understood that: how can you be attracted to someone without knowing anything about them? Their personality, interests, intellect, and so on.

I believe that is limerence!.

I did actually have that with my last gf, even though I'm normally slow to develop any attraction at all. Of course, she's an amazing person who is smart as hell, and has a sardonic wit.
Callinectes:
I am glad of Elliot's explanation, because I was at a total loss to explain what the sudden problem was. Though I'm still not sure that his explanation makes sense, I am given to understand that emotions are dumb like that.
Tova:
I totally get the idea of not immediately knowing whether you are genuinely attracted to someone, but I thought that figuring this out was the entire point of dating.
Farideh:
That, and to see whether you're compatible
