Do you ever look at someone and tell yourself how hot they are? Physical attraction is one thing that guides us to our partners in some cases, though what people are looking for in a partner and in a relationship is much more diverse than many believe. People are into different personalities, different looks, different pastimes and hobbies, and have different goals in life. Each of these things can bring us closer to a potential partner, and each of these things can make a person shy away.

Take an attractive person you are interested in, for example. If others are always hitting on them because of their good looks and do not seem interested to get to know their personality, hobbies, and goals, they may think they are only being pursued for their body.

Sometimes a person’s personality clicks with yours, and you find yourself smiling and laughing in major ways. This can be a massive turn on and heavily attractive, and rightfully so.

There are tons of other variables as well, some of which are mainly determining whether or not opening up to a specific person is something you want to do. Friends of friends tend to be more likely to match up than random people online. That said, Internet dating has become a massive tenant for finding relationships. Many people like putting all of their information out there and trying to increase their likelihood of finding someone who has the same goals, hobbies, and personalities that match theirs.

A person’s experience over time has a large impact on their dating life. If you are looking to be adventurous and get out into the dating world, be open to attraction from many different types of people. Sometimes the people we feel will be the best matches do not click with us the way we would want. Dating is a learning process, through and through.
