attraction. You're lucky if you feel the draw right away: Research shows it
takes those 15 seconds to make your initial decision about whether you are
interested.
Stage 2. The first flush. When you're face-to-face. you get a fuller sense of
how you interact and whether you feel good being around each other and can talk
to each other.
Stage 3. Feeling "in like." You sense you enjoy being around the
person and are curious to find out more about him.

heart pound. Your skin tingles, and you can't wait to feel their arms around you
