What is meant by mutual attraction?

You like someone but if the person doesn’t feel the same way towards you, it means the relationship is one-sided. No need to add that there is no future for such a relationship. It is doubtful whether this can be called a relationship at all. It is the same if someone has romantic feelings for you but you don’t feel the same way.

When your feeling for someone is reciprocated in equal measure, it can be termed mutual attraction.

Mutual attraction can follow either one of these two paths – both reveal their feelings for each other openly and get along with the relationship or the attraction remains unspoken, at least for a while.

When you like someone but you are not sure how the other person feels about you, it is an unspoken attraction. You hesitate to approach the person or talk about it openly. For all you know, the other person may be facing the same dilemma. That makes it an unspoken mutual attraction.

Even when you two aren’t openly revealing your attraction for each other, you will be sending unconscious intense attraction signs or clues to each other, giving hints of how you feel. All you need to do is to search for these strong mutual attraction behaviors to confirm what your heart wants to be true.

For instance, you can’t resist your eyes from wandering toward this person. Then you notice every single time, this person has their eyes fixed on you. Eye contact is a sure shot sign of unspoken mutual attraction.

It is always good to be aware of these signs of deep attraction as it removes the doubt and fear of failure from your mind and gives you the confidence to approach the person and take the relationship ahead. If both of you allow the attraction to remain unspoken, you may be missing out on a chance to have a loving relationship.

20 signs of unspoken strong mutual attraction

1. Sparks fly when your eyes meet

Even in a crowded room, your gaze keeps hovering over this person. You are amused that every time you look at them, your eyes meet because this person is already looking your way. If they avert their gaze, it is a sign that they are not ready to reveal their true feelings yet. They are just casing you and trying to make up their mind about you.

On the other hand, if the eye contact is intense, it is time to move on to the next step. You should get ready to reveal what is in your heart. Without saying a single word, this eye contact can reveal a lot about how you feel towards each other.

2. Interested in knowing each other

You can do this without revealing your feelings for each other. You can ask them questions to know more about their personal background. If you find the other person doing the same, you can be sure about mutual attraction.

When you are attracted to someone, even when you aren’t ready to come out about it in the open, you may want to test the waters by getting closer to them physically to see how it goes. Physical touch is a natural progression of sexual attraction.
