connection ???

Michjo, that's not a compliment in that case, it's a pick-up line. Those women are either stupid or desparate. I think if they used their intelligence rather than their hormones, they'd see right through the guy.

For me, I say something I like or appreciate about the person or something they have done...

"I appreciate how you keep your clothes picked up" (because I've lived with people who didn't and I hated that) or "Thank you for making dinner"

I like to be appreciated, I figure others do to. But it's definitely a learned thing for me.

That was my initial reaction when I saw the OP! Out of interest, these people who say they feel a connection. What is the male/female ratio?

Surely a *genuine* connection cannot be one way only? If they say they feel connected to you, yet you feel nothing in return, then they could be imagining it, or have an ulterior motive, or maybe just being overly polite? A way of saying "I like you" without actually saying it.


With my children, probably yes. Also when younger with 3 or 4 close friends, generally after going through crises (and rather a lot of LSD....) together. I haven't seen them for 20 years, have no idea where they are now, yet still miss them a lot.
