It difficult to feel attraction to strangers
It is common for people to feel attracted to strangers they may run into while shopping or being out and about. Your friend may say to you, “Hey! Look! Over there. Isn’t he a stud?” Your response may be a puzzled look. Like, “What are you talking about?” This is because you don’t know the person.
Other situations that involve meeting or interacting with complete strangers, e.g., online dating, will not likely end up with you having a romantic connection on the whim of a smile or a flirtatious message.
Online dating probably won’t be appealing to you since it involves connecting with all sorts of random people. You need to meet first and become friends for a period of time before there is any possibility that you could grow to be attracted to them.
