2. Romantic attraction

Have you experienced romantic attraction?

Romantic attraction is when we can't stop thinking about another person and have a desire to be emotionally with that person. It's important to note that romantic attraction does not always involve sexual attraction.

Here is an example; Paul is sexually attracted to guys, but at school people think Paul is going out with a girl called Kylie. Paul and Kylie hold hands and are never seen apart. Even though Paul doesn't feel sexually attracted to her, he does feel romantically connected to her and they are best friends.

This is the place on Curious where people can share their personal stories and experiences about sexuality and gender identity. Have a read of these.
