In several past posts I've said attraction comes in two forms: passive, and active. Passive is "I think they are attractive in that aspect, but I don't really have any desire to connect with them in it." Active is "I am attracted to them in that aspect, and would connect with them in a heartbeat!"
Previously I presented these two kinds of attraction as a binary. I'm changing that to a scale. Doesn't matter how many numbers you want in the scale, it can range anywhere from no attraction at all to overwhelming attraction. Everything below the medium is in the passive range, everything above the medium is in the active range.
Seems like a small adjustment, but it expands the range of attraction within each type tremendously.
Update: I think the Theory of Attraction post is the best reference for the passive/active attraction concept.
