After having been friends for literally decades, a male friend and I found ourselves both being single at the same time. I've always enjoyed his company but never gave much thought to him in a romantic way. Recently, I found myself incredibly attracted, almost drunk feeling in my decision making with very little sense of inhibitions (though NO alcohol was involved). Fortunately, there was a part of my brain still functioning and intervened, but normally my guard would have gone up MUCH sooner.
Looking back on it and being surprised by the crazy level of attraction, I started to wonder. Was there some unknown attraction to him that surfaced or was it possible I was phero-ed?
