Author	Thread: What makes you like someone?
Admin	What makes you like someone? Posted : 22 May, 2014 11:14 AM In the context of dating, what makes a person like another person? I was thinking about this question in the past few days, and I would like to hear everyone's response. Post Reply
View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 23 May, 2014 05:38 PM Ok. Let me change the question a little bit. What caused your dad to like your mom? And what caused your mom to like your dad? I want to figure out what causes people to like each other. For me, I think there are three things: 1) your appearance 2) whether or not you like me 3) and finally, I have a set of criteria. For example, "Are you a Christian?" If not, then I don't like you that much. Do you agree with me in important matters? If not, then I cannot like you even if you're beautiful and you like me. I wonder how other people decide. Of course, this is often not a conscious decision. It just happens, and we're not always aware of why it happens. But I would like to know why exactly we like certain people and dislike others, and what are the things that influence this behind-the-scenes decision making process. Post Reply
noeleena View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 24 May, 2014 12:48 AM Hi. What is it you like about some one , does it have to be how they look, part of western thinking you must look a certian way to be accepted. wrong, Is it something about this person you cant put your finger on and say i know what it is . Is it you just would like to get to know this person and find out what makes them tick , are you open enough to bear your inner most being to another, We do as females well many of us do, would i with a man ...no... so you'd have to dig hard and look at why i'm the way i am to find who i really am to get to know me as a person and as a woman, And yet there is another way. ...YOU....have to be upfront, honest , open and truthfull . I'v been around people for many years, and many i would not trust in any way, because i could not trust them. So what do i see in some one i like , they would have to show thier true colour's first and so many dont, or wont, or as we say put all your cards on the table, i have many lovely friends and i like them for who they are not pretentiious or not wellcoming they are and have proved them selfs for who they are as real friends, and accepting . ...noeleena...

View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 24 May, 2014 08:04 AM Thinking about my parents love story, I think one thing that makes mom fell in love with dad was because my dad was very persistent and consistent. (not to mention that my mom really dislike my dad in the first place that she would even hide when dad was around, lol)...so i guess that's it. Consistency is one thing that makes us like other people. Post Reply
nella824 View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 24 May, 2014 08:13 PM For me it has always been about how someone treats me and how I feel when I'm around them. Are they a gentlemen? Do they speak to me with kindness and respect? Are they polite? Do they make me feel as though I can be 100% myself around them and I wont be judged or criticized? Do we have similar belief systems? And the final question that encompasses all of these questions is- Does this person have the traits and qualities i would want in my future husband and the father of my future children? Those are the things that makes me like someone and the only way to find that out is by getting to know them. Post Reply

View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 2 Jun, 2014 12:17 PM I think it all comes down to fun. Is it fun to know them and to learn about them? And, likewise, is it fun/do you make it fun for them to know and learn about you? I think fun is what makes people choose to keep going when they don't have to when it comes to anything. Post Reply
View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 7 Jun, 2014 01:26 AM I think I want to refine "fun" a little more to positive energy. Do they add positivity AND energy? The more of those two things they have, the more I like them. Post Reply
View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 8 Jun, 2014 05:37 AM i appreciate a guy who is well-versed of the bible, a prayer warrior and is active in church ministries. He must be fun to be with. However, I only plan to fall in love with the guy who liked me first. I could only extend brotherly love and appreciation towards the opposite sex no matter how "ideal" he could be to be a lifetime partner if he does not express any interest on me. one word, "reciprocate". usually, if a girl is free, she has no one special in her heart, she will likely fall for the guy who will court her (assuming the guy meets her standards even not all criteria). SPECIAL ATTENTION COULD TICKLE ANY HEART. Post Reply
InfiniteDreamer View Profile History	What makes you like someone? Posted : 8 Jun, 2014 04:45 PM My criteria mirrors that of nella824. Aside from the Love of God... For me to like someone, I have to feel comfortable with them, I don't mean butterflies and sweaty palms, but being able to be my true, complete self without fear of judgement. A man who isn't consumed by the need for physical perfection, loves me flaws and all. A gentleman, who knows how to treat a woman. I'm very attracted to highly intellectual men, who can engage in rich, deep conversations with ease. Not asking for much, am I? haha :) All the best, God bless. Post Reply
