Last week I had an online work meeting with a man and woman who work in a different team to me, one of whom I'd never met.
Anyway, during the meeting, which I was leading, I felt that there was a lot of eye contact (online meeting, I know, but it felt like that) from the female colleague that I'd never met before and I felt drawn to her.....as if every detail about her stood out, from her gestures, movements, eye contact all stood out. Even though it was a work conversation little bits of information were presented, like her home town, past jobs, not a big thing as such. I could sense her eyes moving as if scanning my face as I was noticing everything from the way she tied her hair back, to her lipstick, her ears, her eyes, the way she held herself.
I didn't really know what to think, it wasn't a flirtatious context, but there was an instant attraction (from me, God knows what she thought!). It hit me after the meeting as I felt like my heart skipped a beat!!
That encounter was almost a week ago but it's left quite an impression, I've never felt anythink like it before. The sense of feeling like you know that person, that you understand them in some way, that there's a connection. Usually whenever i'm attracted to someone it fades but this has stayed quite intense for days.
I started reading up around instant attraction today and was reflecting on it and why she had left such an impression, why I felt that I knew her and felt this magnetic attraction that went beyond the fact that I found her attractive but that I was also attracted to other depths of her.
Anyway, as I was reflecting, I went outside to vape, I looked up at the clear night sky.....and all of a sudden, with these powerful emotional response, this instant attraction, still whirring around in my head, I looked up and say a shooting star!!
What a weird co-incidence!
What does anyone think? Is this all some one sided folly that I'm obsessing over for no real reason, or is it something else? How do I know there's any kind of connection felt from her?
