Emotional vs. romantic attraction is there difference?

[Anonymous]

Is there a difference between romantic and emotional attraction? Like can girls be emotionally attracted to girls but not romantically what is the difference between the two and which is more powerful emotional or romantic?

I believe that emotional attraction is the most powerful. It is the one that allows you and your significant other to get through the bad patches and enjoy the good times fully.

You can be away from each other for long periods of time, and the emotions that you feel for that person stay with you and when you see them again it reignites itself becoming even stronger.

It allows you to know whether the person you are with is the one you want to be with.

It has an effect on nearly every aspect of how you interact with your partner.

Romance and romantic attraction is more of a supplement and something that helps emotional attraction grow stronger.

Hope this helps.

I have an emotional attachment with my male friends. They know me deeper than an acquaintance does. They have a place in my heart. Romantic attraction includes an emotional attachment as well as physical. It is someone you want to be in a romantic (monogamous) relationship with.

For me-

Emotional connection - feelings (girls and guys)

Romantic connection - feelings and sex (guys)

you mean sexual attraction vs emotional? Yes there is a difference, I think emotional is more powerful.
