    Can you be attracted to someone and not feel "butterflies"? I ask because a lot, or most of the women I find attractive don't give me this feeling. (there is one really cute cashier at my local art store though . . .:love:slight_smile: For me, if I see a beautiful woman who I'm attracted to, i become mesmerized by her beauty and can't seem to look away. My gaze just naturally falls on women.

    I'm just curious if this counts as attraction? I think it does but I'm curious to hear other opinions.

    Yeah it's attraction just different. I've only got butterflies a few times but that's people that I know so i guess it's a more romantic and means more to me. I really really like them. But I find girls attractive just physically (in a beauty sense) and as you say become a bit mesmorized and can't look away, but no butterflies :slight_smile:

    Yeah, It does happen. Especially if It's just a physical attraction. For me butterflies is more of a romantic attraction like thing. I have them for someone now, and most of my thoughts are romantic and sappy lol
    Either way, I think It's the better way to go. I hate the butterfly feeling; almost makes me feel physically sick!

    Thank you, everything makes a lot more sense now. Some how I got thinking that you had to feel butterflies every time you were attracted to someone, that would just get exhausting . . . :lol:

    I know this feeling.. There is a really cute cashier at the store I go to.. She's probably around 26 though.. But I think she's gorgeous. Her blue eyes and beautiful sandy blonde hair.. aw :icon_wink I would so take her out on a date. Unfortunately I feel too young to ask her out and I assume she's straight :frowning2: But she is just an average girl.. I'm more girly then her. Anyway.. You can feel attraction without butterflies.. When I get to know women I usually start feeling butterflies in my stomach because i've gotten to know them.. I kind of sometimes do get the ''lust'' feeling for alot of women.. But I don't really feel butterflies until I get to know them. Lots of girls have made me weak at the knees though. :icon_wink

    Hopefully I was somewhat helpful! x
