Atlguy, you said that relationship lasted 3 months. Even if you stayed with her, that type of insane attraction eventually fades, as you undoubtedly know. Why do you say it doesn't make sense that you're not together? It must make sense since she gave you a laundry list of reasons why she didn't want to be with you. She had major issues, and in order to get over this woman, repeat this to yourself, "She didn't want me." Move on and find a woman who will love you and treat you well. That's the ultimate attraction and one that generally lasts. Not just sex 6 times a day for 3 short months.

Good for her. But that's not what I want.

I overlooked personality issues because of the attraction. Plus, she did hide them well.
The way I see it... the 'attraction' was so strong so soon it burned out just as quickly as it was ignited.

My first relationship was like that. All about 'attraction', all about sex, nothing about having anything in common besides those two things and you know what? It lasted all of seven months. That's it.

Here's the thing: relationships based on shallow qualities simply do not last. Sure, it might be 'good' or even 'great' but they burn out just as quickly as they started.

Yep, the whole "she is so hot it hurts" thing happened to me at work and it has messed with me ever since. Up until last October I had never had that love-struck feeling before. I am 30 and felt like a shy 11 year old when I walked over to her cube to introduce myself. I couldn't even look at her because I was all giddy and blushing. I made a tool out of myself, but oh well. I guess we learn eh...

This was far from my first relationship, and we had a lot in common. But in the end, none of it mattered I guess. I assure you it wasn't just physical attraction, at least not for me. I know the difference.

I tend to go for more 'average' women. I have no interest in having a 'hot trophy'. Sorry to disappoint.
Rabbit's a class act.

This proves that women don't go by looks. All you average and "ugly" guys, take note.

Don't knock this guy, Doll Eyes. There's some wisdom here. He's kind of on our side.

I have yet to meet a woman who looks so good it hurts. If that person existed, you couldn't look at her!
