Do you think most people love attention from people they're attracted to whether they’re taken or not?

I have been trying to answer this question for a taken guy who has been acting like he has a major crush. He is always looking for my attention. It may be a validation thing. Kind of depressing because I am a single woman who is looking for the real deal. He definitely displays those signs but I don’t know what to make of it if he’s taken. It means nothing to me unless he’s single. I am attractive and get a lot of attention but it doesn’t really matter so much to me unless it is from someone I want attention from. I find a lot of men want attention from me to feel that he still have it though. It’s like a badge of honor. I work in a male dominated field and I see daily that their day goes better if females give them a smile or attention.

Don't know about most people, but I would not appreciate getting that kind of attention from someone who is taken - I would lose any respect I had for them, for obvious reasons.

On the other hand, if they're not taken and know I'm not taken, then that is all well and good.

[Gibbons44]

People that are taken simply arouse no interest of others. Those who do are available and looking, either as single people, or simply for a way out of an unhappy/forced relationship.

More than 90% of relationships are forced and faked. The minority that are not we simply fail to notice since they are not looking to change a partner for another.

No amount of marriage/couple's therapy helps when the bond hasn't grown to be primarily at mammal-human level (you'd call it trust, but it cannot be faked nor developed consciously, only by reflexes)

I think people that love attention, which is a fair number, will continue to seek it out whether they're on or off the market. I'm not implying that they'll cheat, cheaters are in a completely different ballgame. They'll still seek out attention though, whether it's affection or not will depend on the individual.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t care for attention except that it means a guy is more likely to date me if he shows high attention

[Pinay_ako]

I don’t seek attention. I want love and affection.

[Still-alive]

They're still in the oven baking. they'll be ready soon ;)

[Monalisa77]

Well yeah obviously but it doesn't mean were not interested

[Monalisa77]

Do u think some Men think girls r just using them for attention?

[HowardB]

Hell yea lol. I had a girl bump into me just for attention

[Monalisa77]

So would u quit talking to them even if u had liked them once u thought they were using u?

[HowardB]

Yes, using us means you care nothing for us.

[Monalisa77]

Can i message u

[HowardB]

Yes sure

[Monalisa77]

U need to either message me first or follow me back

[Sukaaa]

Yes no doubt it just depends on what's you're trying to prove for yourself or what you want from a specific guy so you're attracted to that guy because you see a certain picture of a specific need for filled

[TacosRAwesome]

I don't normally get attention from people I'm attracted to, so if it happens I'll be happy whether I'm single or taken. I won't cheat but I will have a bit more pep in my step and what not.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Yes, at least it seems that way. Id be rather upset if they knew I was taken and they did that, though. I get teased by a few married women I know and don't like that, either.

[jujus]

Had a female friend do that to me she told me she had someone afterwards

[Jltakk]

Sure I'd like attention from someone I was attracted to. Never experienced that though

[Anonymous]

[RavVid]
