Attraction verses Sexual Attraction
If you're interested in the person's thoughts and feelings, it's emotional attraction. But if you're only thinking about how hot a person is and having sexual thoughts about him/her, that's sexual attraction.
Here are more answers from WikiAnswers contributors:
- The difference is that you can be atracted to someone maybe their thoughts and feelings toward things, and always have something to talk about...etc. The sexual atraction means that you know you like the person's body and you may not have a lot in common when the sexual atraction is gone. Basically, the difference is love vs. lust. If all you have is the lust, then it's not true love and won't be.
- I think the phrase 'being attracted to someone' always means attracted in a physical sense i.e., sexually attracted.
- If it is soon after you have met them, it may be the pheromones. Or not. But, give yourself some time with them before trying to determine whether it is one thing or the other. For those of us who have been "there," the time of meeting is not the time to mistake one for the other.
