Introspection

I have often wondered how attraction really works. There are many views out there, but none have seemed to consistently predict who falls for whom. This is simply an observation, however. I don't have much first hand experience in the ways of love.
When I first started feeling attractions, they were to attractive people. Yet, I have never felt that I am attractive, so, most were longings from afar. The one time I managed to have a serious boyfriend, he wasn't the cutest, but I thought he was great. Maybe because he actually liked me back.
