A female , anonymous writes:

I've never been able to have a friendship with any guy properly because I always become atttracted to them, or think I'm attracted to them. What defines friendship from attraction? Is it just the sexual stuff? How can I stop myself from repeatedly falling into this pattern?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 October 2006):

well in my opinion, there are 2 types of attractions. first, there's being ATTRACTED to somebody, which is having feelings for the person and being drawn to them (hence, being 'attracted' to them). then there's finding someone ATTRACTIVE, in which case that's as far as it goes and there's no compatability. it's just based on appearance. in my case, i find lots of people to be attractive, but i'm not attracted to them. if that makes sense to you. anyway, this may be what you're feeling towards these guy friends of yours. you may find them to be good-looking and eye candy, but do you find that you want to spend a lot of time with them and that you genuinely like them? you may just find them attractive but not be attracted to them. just think on that one for a bit.
