I like this article. But it doesn't explain how you can meet someone for the first time have a brief moment of eye contact and feel an instant feeling of love that is a bit shocking. Is it chemicals like pheramones. Also, how do you explain a feeling of great pressure in the chest every time you think about someone. What about if you find out this person has all these medical problems and are unhindered. For me the attraction after the initial seeing the person or meeting grew the more I encountered the person and I don't always think about him in a sexual way, I do but not constantly. I am very attracted to his intelligence.

I agree there is much more to be said. Take a look at an essay on sexual attraction on my other blog
Erosophia
