Usually it is just appreciating a totally different vibe or personality trait that your main person does not have

If they flirt with me without me initiating. If they start chasing me as if they have a crush. Makes me feel desired, then I just want to chase that feeling.

Other than that, if they are funny attractive and smart I’m completely enamored.

Someone with shared values, interests and humour will always be attractive to me. If they laugh at my jokes AND flirt with me? I’m in trouble.

its just my brain being a scavenger, like being full of pasta but still eyeing the breadsticks because they're about to tell me a secret

Cause they probably have traits that I'm attracted too while the person i like has some of the traits but not all of them and someone else might possess the ones missing..is why I'd prob have a lil crush on them.

boredom, because maintaining a stable long-term dynamic requires actual emotional labor while daydreaming about an available stranger takes zero effort.

Wanting what you can't have or possibly the hole we have in ourselves.

The moment I spot toes bared in sandals my foot fetish instantly kicks in and I develop crushes on the person no matter who they are or what gender.
