I was extremely attracted to my last female psychiatrist.
I still dream about her.

At my age, I say someone looks “lovable” to me.

this forum has an obsession with dating and love 
It is a fun subject to talk about I guess. Everyone participates in it, even you!

I see attractive women all the time. But I’m happy with my current squeeze, Been with her for 16 years now. Don’t ever want to do anything to disrupt that.

For a long time I was too traumatized to like anyone. I was terrified of physical intimacy due to the nature of my psychosis and knew it came with adult relationships. I had tried once and failed miserably after my whole first major episode ordeal and basically just totally avoided men and had intense anxiety around them for years. Now I finally feel ready for a relationship and even like someone but he is already in a committed relationship so it won’t happen 
I feel terribly unlucky in love.

Normally, I’m attracted to both sexes. But with all my AP’s and the one AD, they have all killed my sex drive completely. I am happily celibate today.

I’m not really attracted to anyone right now either. I’ve gotta say it’s been like this for a year. Idk maybe I just don’t know what attraction is xD

I probably have had less sex than anyone else my age but when I met my ex-girlfriend we were both living in a temporary crisis home. Or another name for it is a Residential Treatment Home. I was just getting clean and sober and she had a few delusions but I thought she was cute and nice (but I never told her or let on what I thought or felt about her).
But yeah, I was interested but I never thought in a million years she would be interested in me. But she moved out before me and went to her parents but before she left she had shown interest in me and asked if I would keep in touch. I was surprised but I said sure.
Mind you, I was just recovering from a mental health relapse, I had just quit drugs but I had no job or assets. No car. Nothing. But she liked me and we started trading off visiting each others city. So one week I would take an hour bus ride to visit her at her parents and the next week she would visit me in the group home.
She liked dressing up really pretty for me and she liked to show me around her home town and our dates consisted of going to art galleries she knew or having coffee at the bowling alley or going for non-alcoholic drinks at a bar she knew. But man, she was pretty and I’m average looking and I’m no Joe Namath or Errol Flynn with a sparkling personality but she seemed happy with me and called me on the phone a bunch of times I week.
Women are just funny and unpredictable. If they just like you than they will give you a chance. Look at it this way. There’s all kinds of deviant murderers, rapists, serial killers, and other undesirables on death row in prison in the United States. These guys get marriage proposals while they are incarcerated.
Now, if the worst anti-social scumbags on earth are getting women I figure, yeah, I have a shot at finding someone who will give me a chance.

Before the meds it was a lot of erotomania. I’d be in love with women who I had not much of a relationship with. I’d fantasise about them etc. I’d do all the grafting but the paranoia would come along and I’d be rejected or I’d just end it.
After meds I can have decent relationships. I still get turned on and I still appreciate women. I just don’t obsess about it and really at the moment it complicates things so I’m not actually looking. So yes. I still am attracted to certain women but circumstance makes it a moot point!

Mostly sheep and cows these days. They keep their opinions to themselves and don’t nag.

These days I have so much trouble with social anxiety that I doubt I could ever meet anyone and be attracted to them. I am so lucky I meet my husband before I started having the severe anxiety.

i was never romantically interested in girls growing up, very socially withdrawn and never was in a relationship, thought it was a silly thing, focused more on bettering myself, possibly suffered from low self esteem and considered myself unloveable
but inevitable mild feelings of ‘maybe something could happen’ were always there. i still think relationships are not for me right now. too much effort and stuff. and i dont really believe in love, not even for family and friends. it is after all just a chemical reaction, right? no reason to base your life around base instincts like that, now that is truly schizophrenic thinking

Yes, I’m still attracted to people(women) but I have low testosterone. I tried to go to the doctor and they said my testosterone was low. They gave me treatment but it didn’t change anything.
