The Strategy For Bidden Love



© 2015 by O. Douglas Jennings

The love that woos and solicits --THAT kind of love holds a fascination for me. That act or predisposition to attract another could be as innocent as altruistic warmth and friendliness or as calculating as a fisherman casting a lure, i.e. seduction. In both instances not only is the law of attraction at play but also the will to attract.

One person can be attracted to another but if the other is unaware (assuming that person is not overtly repulsed at the sight of the admirer), then the bid for love serves as a way to bridge the gap. The logistics of that initial bridge building is full of instinct-driven cues that have developed in our social species over mellinnia. But every age has its own technological spin on the supportive methods for that courtship.

Doesn't it just come down to a strategy for insinuating oneself positively (or sometimes not) into the consciousness of another?
