- [Instructor] Hey, Psychtogoers
and welcome back to another video.
First of all, we would like to thank you all
for the support that you've given us.
Psychtogoers mission is to make psychology
and mental health more accessible to everyone
and you help us do that.
So thank you.
Now, back to the video, have you ever had a conversation
with someone that lasted the whole night?
Did you feel like you could talk to them forever?
Unlike physical attraction
where you're drawn to someone's physical appearance,
emotional attraction is to be drawn
by someone's personality, values, goals, and dreams.
It's when you feel that they somehow get you
on a deeper level.
You may have felt this connection
with your best friend or romantic partner.
Some people may even mistake it
for physical or sexual attraction.
Before we begin, we would like to mention that this video
will be focusing on the signs of emotional attraction
and potential romantic relationships.
If someone you know is showing these signs,
it doesn't necessarily mean that they're trying
to pursue a romantic relationship with you.
That is something you are advised to discuss with them
to see if you're on the same page.
With that said, here are nine signs
that someone may be emotionally attracted to you.
Number one, you feel like the other person gets you.
Can this person understand how you think
and how you feel on a deep level,
the way they can somehow get you
without you needing to over explain yourself,
maybe a sign that you're developing
a deep emotional connection with them.
Number two, they speak highly of your qualities
and personality to you and others.
Do they talk about how funny
or smart you are with other people?
It's a sign of emotional attraction
if they always express to you or to other people,
the things that they really like about you.
Whether it's how you crinkle your nose
when you're studying really hard,
or when you cry during movies,
they can't help but find your small quirks,
and traits to be unique and endearing.
Number three, you have long conversations
which may last for hours.
Do you text ,call or hang out with them
for long periods of time?
Communication is crucial for any relationship
and is usually a good sign of emotional attachment.
They might try to encourage your conversations to keep going
or to make an effort to keep that communication
as open as possible with you.
Even just taking the time to ask you about your day,
shows that they're emotionally interested
and invested in your relationship.
Number four, they tell you that they're thinking about you.
Another sign that they're emotionally attached to you,
is when they openly tell you how much
they've been thinking about you when you're not together.
Whether it's something you said or something you did,
the memories you've made together could have made
a lasting emotional impact on them
and they've become emotionally attracted to you.
Number five, they like spending time with you
but also give you space.
One of the more obvious signs of emotional attraction
is when they not only look forward
to spending time with you,
but also genuinely enjoy
and value the time you spend together.
While they always be thinking of new things
they want to do with you,
it's also important that they respect and give you space
for you to do your own thing as well.
Number six, they value your opinions
and most of your life values appear to be in sync.
Do they welcome you into their personal life
and share their opinions and values with you?
If so, it's a sign that they're developing
an emotional attachment to you.
They might also show a level of emotional compatibility
if they encourage you to express your opinions, thoughts
and feelings without judgment,
regardless of whether they agree with you or not.
However, if you do find that you share a lot
of similar views on family, work and personal life,
then this compatibility may easily develop
into a long-term relationship.
Number seven, they're comfortable
being vulnerable around you.
Have they let their guard down when they're with you.
Whether they're opening up to you about their past
or talking about some of the most
intimate moments their lives.
Being vulnerable is a sign of deep emotional attraction.
And this is because it shows that they're able to trust you
with their worries and insecurities.
Number eight, they express an interest
in meeting your family and friends and vice versa.
Do they invite you to their family gatherings?
Its a strong indication
that you share a strong emotional attachment with each other
when you both wanna introduce each other
to your close friends and family.
After all, you're usually able to introduce your partners
to your closest relatives,
only when you're emotionally connected
and invested in that relationship yourself.
Number nine, they want to commit to you
without pushing commitment onto you.
Are you overwhelmed by the idea of commitment?
Oftentimes it's not commitment we're afraid of
but rather it's committing to the wrong person.
So if the person you're seeing expresses
that they wanna be committed to you,
but they don't push you to do so in return,
then it shows that they respect your boundaries
and feel a strong emotional connection to you.
