What we really want is for people to notice us in real life. To see us in our most spontaneous form, living as though no one is watching...
To notice the look in our eyes when we stumble across something we love, or to notice the shops we stop in on our busy walks. The ingredients we purchase at the market, or the books we carry on public transit. We want that opportune glance into our intimate lives to be the hook that draws in, that creates the luring magnetism necessary for one to make bold moves...
To visit the market more often, to enter new shops, to carry new books, all to signal your longing desire to share their world.
In comparison to stumbling upon an interest while actively in search, such as with online dating. While in this case you would be taken in by a hunting nature, seeking and selecting with predisposition. It feels phony, as though the interaction is a settlement rather than a passionate pursuit. This is the clinical way of manifesting love as opposed to the whimsical way of being swept up into romance.
