Sexual Attraction

[coyote]

When someone is attracted to you, how does this make you feel? Are you flattered, confused, akward, suspicious, etc...

When this happens to me I'm surprised but then my thoughts become dark and suspicion sets in.

it makes me want to put this record on the turntable....

I'm surprised and confused. I automatically want to ask "WHY are you attracted to ME of all the people on the planet you could be attracted to?!"

That's also my reaction. At least it would be if you women weren't always so mysterious.

Seeing how I don't talk all that much, I guess it'd be nice to be appreciated for something.

Hmm, all kinds of things: excitement, suspicion, lol...

First of all, I don't take people seriously (especially if they are joking or drunk or 'totally inappropriate for me' or I don't know them that well/they don't know me that well...) There may be shock and 'WTF?'/'OMG!' factor too lol...

If I do take them seriously, I later start wondering, would we be compatible at all (and usually convince myself out of it all, lol!!) I look for signs that we would or would not be compatible, from behavior to opinions to wishes and situation in life etc.

It depends if I'm attracted to them or not and how attractive they are (not just physically, also psychologically lol - someone can be hot-looking and a jerk or chauvinist lol) Some opinions and/or behaviors can be definitely unattractive...

I'm sometimes surprised what sort of things people appreciate me for too lol... (eg for being different from their exes and not blowing up in certain situations etc lol)
And sometimes I've been surprised people maintained interest even when I did blow up at them, hm. People are weird, sometimes
So, there's hope for everyone??

I'd be really suspicious of it, to be honest. I mean, no girl has shown interest in me before, so why is it happening now? Then, the whole "she's out my league, so why bother?" and "she doesn't know what she's getting into; if she did, she wouldn't be giving me the time of day." things rear their ugly heads. A perfect example of this occured back in high school: This girl who was smart and beautiful and I had a class with each other. We spoke a lot to where I could've probably considered her a "friend." Later on in the next semester, a friend I had met in my Construction class told me that she had a crush on me and that she was talking about me between them and their friends. He asked me what I thought about her and, because of the aforementioned reasons, I didn't answer him out of fear of him playing a joke on me. The idea of a woman being attracted to me just seems like such an impossibility that any hints would be tossed to the wayside.

This has happened to me not too long ago.
When I find out one of my friends like me, I feel suspicious and it makes me feel like they're just doing it for a good laugh. Since some pretty good looking girls have said they liked me, I just don't understand why because I'm.. just me.

[Blabla..]

i feel really good when someone is attracted to me , i try to put myself in their pants and understand how they perceive me , well , not in their pants in that kind of way !

But it makes me feel special , why did they choose me !!

It's funny but it makes me feel responsible , like i should care for these people .

I've never really been put in that situation, only a couple of times. erk. but, I get the suspition...suspection...I can't spell, because if someone can see that I'm a bit helpless and awkward, they might enjoy toying with me. paranoia? =|

But, yeah...I'd just panic and hide away. story of my life...I think.
