Hey everyone! This is something that has been on my mind for a while, and I wanted to see what other people thought about this:
If there is a lack of affection in your life (from the opposite or same sex, whichever you prefer), do you think that receiving even the smallest amounts of affection can cause you to become very attracted to someone?
Let me give an example,
Im 23, still a virgin, and have never been in a relationship. About a month ago I was at an end of the semester party and many of my friends were there. A girl I've known for a year and a half was there as well. I've always found her attractive, but I never really thought about her much. By the time I got to the party she was already a bit drunk, and when she saw me, she immediately hugged me. It wasn't a casual hug though, she put her arms around my neck and and we kinda held each other for a good minute or so. I know this is going to sound pathetic: but since that day, I cant stop thinking about her. I had never hugged anyone that way before, and it made me really happy. Since she had been drinking, and talking a lot of random 'drunk talk' she doesn't remember hugging me, so whether she feels the same about me is beyond my knowledge.
Anyways, the whole situation got me thinking about how quickly I had developed feelings for her (over such a small thing). It makes me wonder if being single has caught up with me, and now my mind/body wants to make up for all the affection didn't get from girls when I was a few years younger. What do you guys think?
