Understanding the stages of attraction

Attraction is a process that can be broken down into four distinct stages: chemistry, perceived value, perceived challenge, and connection. Chemistry refers to the physical attraction and compatibility between two people, while perceived value refers to the qualities and attributes that individuals bring to a relationship. Perceived challenge involves having a healthy balance of giving and receiving, where both individuals have a price for their value. Finally, connection is about compatibility and shared values, where both individuals want to live a similar kind of life.
