Say you never really noticed that person until he or she started giving you attention. Would you become more attracted to that person for that reason?

Not if they are outside the realm of what I consider attractive.

It all depends on interaction. People are busy with their everyday lives. Some people are more observant than others. I am so observant that I would notice that person even before they became attracted to me. My antennas are always up. BUT, many have social blinders that don't always see this even if it staring at them.

So to provide more end result to your question- the feeling may be more of an embracing feeling. Sort of like an appreciation of being noticed. It's a happy feeling that may or MAY NOT always translate into a deeper affection and or returned attraction by the other person. It can just simply mean surface lust or attraction.

Only continuous interaction can determine whether or not you will become attracted to that person on a deeper level.

This. I've developed attraction to one, maybe two people after noticing their attraction towards me. In one instance, it became a FWB- thingee.

Not if they are not attractive. If someone doesn't do anything for me, then that is most likely not going to change because they show interest.

I probably find people more attractive when I know or sense that they are attracted to me. But that doesn't mean that I would date someone just because they were attracted to me.

If I'm not attracted to her, then no.

I think there is research in this area that shows attraction can be increased or even started by finding out someone else is attracted to you.

Good question

Yes I think so in a way because as you've not paid much attention beforehand as soon as you realise they like you it's then on your mind and you can't help but think about or notice them....

I think what the above poster said is correct though that you must be in the least slightly attracted and Im definitely not saying I would date them but I do think it's possible that I would be more interested

I can only speak for myself, but in many cases when I get the suspicion that a woman is into me, then I am more likely to be attracted to her... as long as she is reasonable... I can even do certain kinds of crazy.
