in LOVE, there is no CONNECTION without COMMUNICATION.... but can there be a CONNECTION without ATTRACTION?

Question

is ATTRACTION but a mere catalyst.... or is it as essential as COMMUNICATION in keeping the CONNECTION?

Answer 1

Great question, Enki. There most definitely can't be a CONNECTION without ATTRACTION and yes, it is as essential as COMMUNICATION in keeping the CONNECTION. The reason why I say there isn't is because every human being, every animal, every thing is ATTRACTED to something someone or something has inside of them or on them. Physical attraction is only one attribute most people or things look for in deciding on a mate. However, humans seem to look for what type of person you are, the way a person's mind operates, or the way a person operates as a sexual being. Humans are the only ones who have different ways to be Attracted to another of the opposite sex or not.
We all know what animals do, they search for the female in heat, fight over her, and whoever wins can have her as his own. I mean, that is where animals and humans differ.

Answer 3

I think that there has to be some form of attraction, like you are attracted to there personality or some other trait. But there can be a connection without an attraction one would have for a person they want a relationship with. Otherwise how would we have connections with our friends and how else would we make the normal, everyday connections in our lives. But again these are more than likely going to be a connection of a mental kind that could grow into a lovers kind. But more than most connections of that sort, there has to be some form of attraction.

Answer 4

I believe there can be a connection, without an attraction, when some persons are good Friends and nothing else. I think that it is an essential in keeping the connection.

Answer 5

in love, there is no connection without attraction. Without attraction, there is no connection to communicate over. You might think you have to communicate in order to get to know someone, but it's because of that slight attraction that you want to communicate

Communication feeds the attraction, and the attraction feeds the connection, and the connection keeps the love flowing, because there's a giving and receiving "end."

Answer 6

"Communication" - I take that to not simply mean talking with our mouths. I have felt a connection that was much deeper than words, without saying words. When we finally developed some communication, we realized the connection was shared before the first word was ever spoken. I'm talking about more than mutual physical admiration when I say connection. :)

"Attraction" - I take that to not simply mean physical appreciation of each other, but the more sublime qualities that draw to people together. In that sense, the attraction and connection are on the same circuit, so to speak. they are not causal to each other.

It's like the Earth and the Moon. They attract each other due to the laws of gravity. They are connected not by physical means but by that energy known as the force of gravity. Love in a spiritual sense is very much like gravity in the physical world.

Answer 7

There’s connection without attraction and that is closed to friendship…while in love it’s an essential need of magnetism to have communication based on attraction..

Answer 8

There is love without communication. That is something "one" can't take away. Or course communication keeps Love together.
I think there has to be an attraction in anything you love. My attraction for different people or things are for different reasons.

Answer 9

If there is no attraction of any kind, it wouldn't be love. Love, for me, is an attraction of the personality of someone.
Whether it be family, friends, or personal relationships, there is an attraction of liking things about that person that draws you to them and makes you love them.
I feel that if there is nothing that attracts you to a person, you will not try too hard to keep communication going with them.
I think attraction of some sort is essential.

Answer 10

Yeah, I don't think you know what you're talking about. Way to try and sound philosophical though, you probably fooled at least a couple decent minded people. You lack clear definitions of CONNECTION, COMMUNICATION and ATTRACTION. Moreover, you ignored whether or not the connection/attraction mentioned in the latter portion was restricted to connections/attractions based in love.

Also to note, your question serves no feasible purpose. Does your question hold any relevance to anyone? Nope. What if someone was in love with you but you didn't feel the same way about them? Then there would be CONNECTION and ATTRACTION and LOVE, but it would all be in one-direction as none of those feelings are reciprocated (except, perhaps, CONNECTION depending on how it's defined). Attraction may lead to communication that connects two people in such a way as they both report feelings of love, or maybe communication between two people connects them in such a way that they cultivate an attraction that leads to reported feelings of love, but that really just proves that there are no RESTRICTIONS of HOW LOVE COMES TO BE. End of story.
