Nope. But at the same time some people can BECOME more attractive when you get to know them and see the bigger picture and not just a first glance impression.

I have dated men I was meh about but the attraction grew. Depends on whether you like him as a person or are repulsed by him.

I have to be attracted but I have conditioned myself to be attracted to women who are actually interested in me over the last decade.

try to work it out and if you can't, don't. Sometimes the attraction needs to develop.

Agree with everyone here.

For me, typically attraction grows over time.
The only exception was my husband...it was instant chemistry when I laid eyes on him...however that could have all died when he opened his mouth. Fortunately he was the whole package.

Sometimes the whole package doesn't come with pretty wrapping though and you get a nice surprise when you open it up!
