Did you know attraction starts with an emotional connection that comes from vulnerability? Often the best relationships are built from friendship which is the best breeding ground for this type of vulnerability. This may provide some encouragement to talk to the guy you do not have an initial attraction toward or vice versa with the fellas as a friend only. Often as we get to know things about a person and are comfortable enough to share our vulnerabilities and insecurities; this is when attraction grows.
If we see gentlemen as brothers initially and women as sisters that fosters an environment where friendships can be created and our networks can be broadened despite the idea of attraction. Many people meet the loves of their lives through introductions from their growing networks.
What if a guy asks a girl out but she isn’t attracted to him? Should she decline or wait around as his friend to see if an attraction grows? Sheila shared if there is something that interests you about the gentleman, use that as an opportunity to get to know him as a friend and grow your network. There is nothing wrong with exploring someone as a friend. These are just a few of the awesome tips Sheila Gregoire shared with our singles group, “Singles Living for Christ.“
She also touched on Attachment styles and some things to look out for if you feel as though you only want to be in a relationship with that being all that you focus on. This can be dangerous and point toward one of the attachment styles. Here is more in the video below and join our Facebook group to participate in future discussions.
