Attraction is something that is instinctual. It drives from within our core. What we like, what we don’t like. Sometimes we are unable to turn that animalistic force off like a light switch.

Time goes on and ultimately your friend and the hottie don’t work out. You secretly give yourself a high five because you still are interested in that person.

Or choose option 2: You think about all those mushy ass romance movies where two people meet in an uncanny way, hilarity ensues, and ultimately the two end up back together and live happily ever after. Oh sh*t! That could totally be you and he/she. Plus sometimes it’s fun to pick off of someone else’s plate. Sometimes you like what they ordered more than your dish. Wink, Wink.

What to do? I have seen this scene play out many times and the response seems to vary by gender. For instance, men usually…To Read The Rest Go To YeahSheSaidIt
