Are you in my head, Steve? Normally I'm a lurker, but I couldn't NOT comment on the synchronicity of this article apprearing today.

Because this morning as I lay in bed thinking about my day, I prayed/intended to know why on earth I am so incredibly attracted to a particular person. She is nothing like me; we have nothing in common; she is beautiful, but there are many other beautiful women out there. Basically I was asking WTF is going on here?

.

And then I read this post! Talk about intention-manifestation! You have explained it all - not just my attraction to her, but down to describing us both almost exactly.

I am an INFP, quiet, sensitive, a bit of a hippy and quite a bit like your description of Erin. The woman who I'm attracted to is very much like you - very organised, authoritative, confident, decisive etc etc. In other words, the complete opposite of me, and not even someone I would usually expect to get along that well with.

However, I've noticed that I do tend to be attracted to powerful, confident, decisive women and I thought that I would have to change myself in order for someone like that to be interested in me. You have opened my eyes to the possibility that she or someone else could like me BECAUSE I am their opposite.

You wrote: "First, attraction helps to align you with truth. Attraction teaches you to let go of falsehood and denial and to practice acceptance. Can you talk about your attractions openly, even if it means others might reject your preferences? Are you ashamed of those you find attractive? Or can you accept this part of yourself completely and without judgment?" just consider my mind completely blown, because this is exactly where I am in my life as I come to terms with being bisexual/gay. Is this why she is in my life, to teach me acceptance of myself and who I find attractive?

Whatever the reason, I'm so grateful that she is in my life, whatever the outcome.

I assumed that we were a little awkward around each other because she finds me unbelievably ditsy and chaotic. But perhaps she is just madly attracted to me without knowing why, as well

I think she is 100% straight, but you at least give me hope.
