The challenging power of attraction.

It is certainly quite obvious that women are attractive to men(under normal natural circumstances) and I know that I am definitely no exception to that rule. We men are definitely led by our eyes first but our minds and emotions certainly come into play as well, which may not seem so obvious to the typical observer.

I consider myself to have a fairly good reign on my attractions and behaviors related to the physical nature of things. If I did not I am sure I would have gotten myself into many more relationships that did not make very much sense to do beyond me simply thinking she was a very attractive woman. But when a woman has very physically attractive traits, AND she is able to spark my emotional or mental curiosities as well, I really need to pay close attention to myself. It can tend to feel like a slippery slope is forming under my feet... a slippery slope that would be more fun to slide down on than might be wise to indulge in.

I always want to be careful to avoid the emotional pitfalls of one-sided relationships too. Which just means that I am emotionally moving at a much different pace than any girl I am ever attracted to. It could be a lack of emotional maturity in the relationship setting since I have so little relationship experience but I tend to think more and more that every good relationship is going to have those kinds of challenges anyway. It is yet another way a couple can strengthen their relationship and understand their commitments to each other better. Or maybe I am further expressing my ignorance of how relationships work and it is actually just an unnecessary challenge to a relationship.

Anyway, I am glad I move slowly sometimes. I just hope I am not trying to be too careful at the expense of attracting the right kind of girl by my determination to do the right thing. I am also glad I don't really need to worry about it at the moment... even though I am actually attracted to a girl that any of this could potentially apply to. Ha.
