Being romantically interested in someone you don't know is not at all the same as having a connection or chemistry. And neither are about emotions. I don't think you get that because you haven't had chemistry or felt connections.

Well, it sounds like maybe you were a more sociable and outgoing only child. I am not. And I certainly don't have your boobs which you've admitted haven't hurt you in the romance department.

Yes, it could be the connection that I have in mind is not the same kind that you have in mind. You've said before that finding someone attractive is not the same as being attracted to them, but it is the same thing to me.

Bwahahahah! Well, I went through some painfully shy phases - but overall, I'm very outgoing and sociable. I also do have big boobs.

That's not romance, that's called lust.

And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure you have other great qualities too, but being outgoing and busty definitely helps.

Exactly. And relationships that are only based on lust probably aren't going to last.

That's what I want. I like the infatuation feeling. I know there needs to be more than that for something serious, but I want infatuation first.

Perhaps we all should just back off and let OP live in solitude with her cat. I mean, the stereotype exists for a reason.

Well it is impossible to have a connection with someone you don't know. That's for starters.
