For too long, many of us have been “winging it” in relationships—unprepared for the emotional minefields that can derail connection or blow things up entirely when we lack the guidance to navigate them.
This training identifies these minefields -Ten Types of Attraction and Intimacy - and explores the challenges they pose. This is your opportunity to become the trusted captain of your own ship, steering through the rough patches that are par for your journey and finding your way to the promised land: the womb space of co-creation, where the miracle of connection becomes possible.
This guidance comes from lessons I learned the hard way—through trial and error. My hope is that you can avoid some of the unnecessary pain I went through, increase your capacity for connection, and transform the doubts or confusion you carry into confidence, clarity, and momentum.
You’ll walk away with the tools to build deeper, healthier, and more nourishing relationships. You’ll grow emotionally and relationally and learn to use that growth to improve the quality of all your interactions—romantic and otherwise.
Everyone, the Ten Types of Attraction is an emotionally charged and unconsciously driven situation with huge sabotage potential especially when you lack the guidance to identify them, tells you how to deal with them. It’s a map for the terrain of connection.

1. Attraction Based on Fantasy
Fantasy may be the most common—and seemingly harmless—form of attraction. It’s a natural byproduct of being alive and may be one of the most effective stress relievers we have. It’s safe, private, and consequence-free—purely imagination at play, with no contact and no action.
Usually, someone physically appealing catches your eye, your imagination kicks in, and suddenly you're spinning mental images like movie trailers. You might imagine them as “the one,” a lifelong partner, a romantic or sexual encounter—or simply a momentary high. Then, just as quickly, you’re back in your day-to-day life, grounded in reality.
But here’s the caution: fantasy should never be the sole reason to pursue a connection. The Hug (Carol)
It was one of those days—back-to-back clients, little sleep, bad mood. I had 15 minutes for a break and decided to walk to the See’s Candy Shop around the corner to visit my friend Carol. She always gave me free samples and a warm smile, which was all the incentive I needed.
She greeted me like an old friend. As we chatted and I browsed the chocolate, there was, perhaps, a quiet undercurrent of attraction, but nothing either of us had ever acknowledged.
When it was time to go, we moved into a spontaneous hug—our first. It was unexpectedly warm and lingered longer than either of us anticipated. I savored every second—until I glanced at the clock.
Then I saw it—her face flushed red. It was clear we had both been unexpectedly turned on.
And just like that, my imagination hijacked the moment: “What if we slipped into the back room? Or upstairs to my office for a quickie?”
But the clock snapped me out of it. I had a minute or two to get back. I managed to say “goodbye” and made a swift exit.
Had I crossed that line, I’d likely have lost both Carol and the simple joy of See’s Candy—not to mention the damage it could have done to my marriage. Instead, I can still stop by, enjoy a sample, and share a friendly hug—without regret.

Lessons Learned:
The key to navigating your experience of attraction that comes when and grows out of your fantasies is being aware that your imagination is operating, and knowing it’s not meant to be acted upon. That awareness gives you the space to pause, space to enjoy your experience and make more discerning choices about who you want to get more involved with and how involved you want to get. Notice when your imagination is active—but don’t mistake it for reality or an invitation to act. Acting on a fantasy is stepping on amine: you risk blowing up something real for something illusory. 

Mindful Practice: Befriend Your Fantasies
Get to know your fantasies. They can become a safe and nourishing space—your private playground.
Here’s a practice: While meditating or journaling, notice when your imagination kicks in. Identify the story unfolding in your mind. Observe how your body responds. Then gently bring your attention back to what you were doing—grounding yourself in the present.
Let your fantasies be what they are: fleeting, private, safe to enjoy—but not to act on.

2: Sexual Attraction
Sexual attraction is the pull you feel when someone’s presence lights up your body like a pinball machine. It’s magnetic, visceral, and undeniable. You may find yourself flustered, distracted, and even flooded with fantasies. It's not necessarily about wanting a relationship—it’s a raw, physical response.
We tend to idealize sexual attraction, but it can be incredibly misleading. Just because your body responds doesn’t mean the person is good for you or that there’s any foundation for connection. Many relationships start here and crash later because there was no substance underneath the chemistry.

A story: The Gym Encounter
Years ago, I was working out at a gym and noticed a woman whose presence stirred something deep and primal in me. Every time she passed by, I got a jolt. My brain scrambled to come up with reasons to talk to her. The attraction felt cosmic.
But I also noticed something else. I didn’t know her. I hadn’t exchanged a single word with her. My imagination was building a whole fantasy life based solely on my body’s reaction. I had to remind myself: “You’re projecting. You’re responding to energy, not reality.”
That awareness saved me from chasing a feeling that likely had no grounding. I was able to enjoy the spark without being hijacked by it.

Lessons Learned:
Sexual attraction is real—and it can be thrilling—but it’s not the same as connection or compatibility. It’s crucial to separate impulse from intention, and fantasy from reality. With mindfulness, you can feel the heat without getting burned.
The key to navigating sexual attraction is recognizing it for what it is: a surge of energy, not a roadmap. You can feel the charge without acting on it. The real work is in staying conscious— being aware of what’s happening in your body and choosing how to respond.

Mindful Practice: Observe the Spark
The next time you feel sexually drawn to someone, pause. Notice the physical sensations. Name the feeling. Breathe into the moment. Ask yourself, “Do I really know this person? Or am I just swept up in energy?” Let that question guide your next move.

3: Sexually Based Relationships
​A sexually based relationship is one where physical intimacy is the main source of connection. It often starts with intense chemistry—fireworks, passion, and a magnetic pull you can’t ignore. The sex may be amazing, even transcendent. But once the high wears off, you may discover there’s little else holding the relationship together.
These relationships can feel thrilling at first. You may believe you've found "the one" because the sexual compatibility is off the charts. But unless the connection deepens emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually, the relationship is built on shaky ground.
The danger isn’t the sex itself—it’s mistaking sex for intimacy, or assuming that great sex means great compatibility. Many people stay in sexually based relationships long after the connection has run dry, holding onto the hope that the spark will return.
The Illusion of Depth
I once worked with a client who had been in a relationship for nearly a year. From the outside, it looked great—fun, passionate, affectionate. But every time they tried to talk about deeper issues—childhood wounds, future goals, fears—the conversation would stall or turn awkward. They'd end up back in bed instead.
Eventually, the emotional disconnection began to hurt. My client felt lonely in the relationship. "We're close physically," they said, "but I don't feel truly seen." The sex hadn't changed, but the illusion that it was enough had started to fade.

Lessons Learned
Sex is a powerful form of connection—but it's not the whole picture. If physical intimacy is the main thing holding you together, you may be in a sexually based relationship. These relationships often plateau, and without deeper connection, they tend to collapse or stagnate.

Mindful Practice: Take Inventory
Ask yourself: What do we share beyond the bedroom? Do I feel emotionally safe and known? Can we talk openly about difficult topics? If the answer is no, it may be time to reassess what the relationship is really built on.


4: Flirting
Flirting is playful, charged energy. It can be light, fun, and full of possibility. It often involves eye contact, teasing, shared laughter, and subtle body language. Flirting doesn’t necessarily mean you want something serious—it’s a way of testing connection, curiosity, or attraction.
But flirting is also complex. It can be a gateway to deeper intimacy—or a mask to hide behind. Some people flirt to feel powerful or validated. Others flirt compulsively, without realizing the impact it has on others. And sometimes, flirting is a substitute for intimacy: we keep things light because vulnerability feels too risky.
The Charmer
I once worked with someone known as "the charmer." They were magnetic—charming everyone in the room with ease. But in their long-term relationships, things kept falling apart. Their partners would say, "I never really felt like you let me in."
Eventually, we uncovered the pattern: flirting was their shield. They were masters at sparking interest but terrified of deeper exposure. When intimacy required emotional risk, they'd retreat into performance. The flirting wasn't bad—it was just incomplete.

Lessons Learned
Flirting can be a beautiful way to connect—but it can't carry the weight of a relationship. If flirting is your main way of relating, it might be time to ask: what's underneath the performance? What are you protecting? Real intimacy asks more than just charm—it asks for presence, honesty, and vulnerability.

Mindful Practice: Feel the Edge
​The next time you're flirting, pause for a moment. Notice your body. Are you grounded or performing? Is this playfulness or avoidance? Can you let go of the script and still stay connected?


5: Being in Love
What makes being in love such a slippery slope? Isn't it supposed to be the ultimate high? Can you remember your own experience of being in love? What was that like for you?

Have you ever fallen in love, only to find that once the high wore off, you were suddenly seeing each other—warts and all—for the first time?
My First Love
The first time I fell in love, it was electric. By far the most exciting experience of my young life. I floated for days—maybe weeks—until it all came crashing down. She didn’t feel the same. “I just want to be friends,” she said.
Even though I felt crushed, that night remains seared in my memory as one of the greatest moments of my life. I was in love.
Looking back, I only saw what I wanted to see. I filtered out anything that didn’t match my fantasy. Once the blinders came off and reality set in, I saw us both more clearly. And my desire faded.

Lessons Learned
Being in love is an altered state—a euphoric idealization that distorts perception. You see what you want to see and block out the rest. And like any high, it doesn't last. When the rush fades, reality returns—differences, dark emotions, imperfections, and conflict show up, often all at once.
Many people misinterpret this shift as a problem with the relationship: "I'm not in love anymore, so maybe this isn't right." But expecting to feel high every day is like expecting to stay drunk forever. It's not sustainable—and it's not love. It's infatuation.

Mindful Practice: One Foot In, One Foot Out
Practice walking the line between euphoric idealization and grounded reality. Hold both at once: the feeling of being in love and the truth that everyone is a mixed bag. Can you revel in the high without losing sight of the whole person in front of you?


6: Contextually Based Relationships, Connection, and Intimacy
Some relationships blossom in specific contexts—but don’t always hold up when that context disappears.
These “contextually based relationships” are born in amplified, emotionally charged, or constrained environments—retreats, disasters, creative collaborations, travel, or global crises like the COVID pandemic. They thrive in the moment but may falter when transferred into a more ordinary, real-life setting.
We assume the magic will continue outside the original context, but context-bound intimacy often doesn’t translate. When the environment changes, there is no longer a foundation or a new one has to be built from scratch.

Examples of Context-Based Bonds
• Personal development retreats – Emotional openness, vulnerability, and intimacy spike under shared intensity.
• Surviving life-and-death events – People who endure trauma together often form fast, deep bonds.
• Creative partnerships – Bands, actors, or co-creators may confuse shared creative flow with romantic compatibility.
• Travel flings or long-distance sparks – Compressed time and novelty intensify connection.
• Pandemic relationships – Many couples skipped stages of organic relationship-building because of external restrictions.

Case Study: Drew & Marlin
Drew and Marlin met on a dating app days before the pandemic lockdown. Their instant chemistry led them to move in together when isolation made dating otherwise impossible. For a year, it seemed to work. But once restrictions lifted, their differences emerged.
Drew craved space and independence. Marlin interpreted this as rejection. They had never practiced navigating conflict or differences—pandemic conditions had masked their incompatibilities.
Drew later admitted: “I wish we could start over and build a foundation, not just ride the momentum.” He recognized he had overridden his needs to maintain the connection during an unnatural time.

Lessons Learned
Context-based relationships often feel intense and deeply connected—but the intensity is situational. When the context shifts, so must the relationship. This means starting over—not from zero, but from a place of curiosity and clarity.

Mindful Practice: The Clean Slate State of Mind
Approach a transitioning relationship like an athlete stepping up to the plate—focused only on the current moment, not past history or future projections. Observe. Discover. Pay attention. Let go of assumptions. You're not dragging the old relationship into a new setting—you're discovering if there's a new relationship waiting to form.

7. Projection of Images
What Is Projection of Images?

Projection of images occurs when a psychoactive memory or image from a book, movie, or any other experience that left a deep impression becomes embedded in your unconscious and is then projected onto the person you're with. In effect, you're relating to and getting emotionally involved with a figment of your imagination.
If the person somehow matches the image, interest and desire are piqued. If they don't match, you're out the door. All the while, you're completely unaware that your standard for "real" is actually a figment of your imagination.

My Story: Mrs. Taylor
From age 16 to 23, I carried on a secret love affair with a figment of my imagination. I discovered "Mrs. Taylor" in an adult novel just before my 16th birthday—a story about an older woman seducing her 16-year-old newspaper delivery boy.
The graphic and detailed story unfolded in a slow, gentle, methodical, and intimate way as she guided him through every step. What I imagined while reading that dialogue became deposited in the bank of my experience as the most intense excitement and deepest intimacy I could conceive.
From that point until age 23, every girl I met fell short compared to Mrs. Taylor. I was relating to a figment of my imagination, not the person I was actually with, which made it impossible to forge genuine connections. I'd only be interested if I could imagine them as an embodied version of Mrs. Taylor—and when I couldn't, I'd lose interest and disengage.

Lessons Learned
Attraction based on projection of images is an unconsciously driven process that renders you incapable of distinguishing between your experience with the person you're actually with and the image filtering your perception. When your standard for "real" is an imaginary other, chances are it won't end well.
Projection of images invariably leads to a crash and an irreconcilable gap when you're face-to face with the sobering contrast between the image and the real person.


8: Projection of Unmet Emotional Needs
Similar to looking for a match with unconsciously psychoactive images, there is a backlog of pain from unmet needs desperate for relief and nourishment, which unconsciously drives you to those you're drawn to and get involved with.
Attraction based on unmet needs occurs when those unconscious unmet needs get triggered by something the person you're with says or does, and the level of your interest and desire skyrocket.

My Story: Kathy
The beginning of my relationship with Kathy marked the end of my 7-year relationship with Mrs. Taylor. Kathy was the first real person and real relationship of my life; I was 23 and she was 38.
At the time we met, I was in a great deal of pain from unmet emotional needs backlogged inside of me. I was desperate for validation of my lovability, desirability, to be seen and understood. Kathy was the first.
Kathy too, was drawn to me because of her unconscious unmet emotional needs. She had left a thirty-year marriage and was starved for connection. Then I came along—someone emotionally expressive and available who wanted nothing more than to connect in a radically deep and intimate way.
We stayed together for six years. The first three were blissful—she was my primary partner, the one I thought I'd be with for life. But the next three years were tumultuous, discordant, fighting all the time. We broke up and got back together many times.
As I look back, it became clear that after our respective unmet needs got met, there was no longer a basis for the relationship. As I became more conscious and connected within myself, I was drawn to others who were more conscious and connected within themselves.

Lessons Learned
Attractions based on the projection of unmet needs generally lead to unconsciously driven, dependency-based relationships. These relationships work as well and as long as those needs are getting met, but if and when those needs are satisfied, the relationship's foundation dissolves— you outgrow the relationship.


9: The Mystique of Beauty
Beauty is too often mistaken for virtue. The mystique is our deeply ingrained social conditioning to automatically "pedestalize" a person based solely on their outward appearance, while remaining blind to what lies beneath the surface.
We all want to be beautiful, to be seen in a more favorable light. We all want to see the people we love as beautiful. But being unconsciously conditioned to ascribe value to external appearances guarantees disconnection.
Priscilla
I met Priscilla at a therapy conference. We attended events together, shared lunches, and had great conversations. I thought she was naturally beautiful and earthy, without makeup. When she
told me she was a dancer, I unconsciously gave her extra points and made her into a person custom-fit for myself.
By the conference's end, our connection felt so strong we decided to see where the relationship could go. We talked on the phone for hours over the next four weeks and decided to get together.
I bought an airline ticket to LA, and as soon as she picked me up from the airport, I had a sinking feeling. She looked different—more dressed up, covered in makeup, smelling of perfume. Her practice had declined, her lifestyle struck me as materialistic and shallow. I was wondering what the hell had happened.
Throughout the weekend I tried to be open, but I just wasn't feeling it. As she drove me back to the airport, I decided to be honest and let her know it didn't work out as I'd hoped. She had no idea, felt sideswiped, and asked for another chance. She thought I was the one for her.
I spent the entire plane ride back trying to figure out how to make sure nothing like this ever happened again.

Lessons Learned
The myth of beauty is mistaking it for virtue. There is nothing inherently virtuous about beauty, and there is no correlation between beauty and the kind of person they are or what it's like to be in a relationship with them.
Quality of connection and intimacy always depends on discovering depth, what lies beneath the surface, and shifting your relating paradigm from outer-based to inner-based, from two dimensional to three-dimensional.


10: An Outgrowth of Rapport or Intimacy
One of the most eye-opening and inspiring experiences of my life was discovering how turned on I got just by being in a space of co-creation—having a conversation and feeling the closeness, connection, and intimacy in their purest forms. I discovered that connection, rapport, and understanding feel great and nourishing.
Friendship feels good. Platonic intimacy feels good, without imagination, attraction, sex, or being in love playing into the equation. They are what make our lives worth living and meaningful.
Our First Date
My wife, Taye and I met at a mutual friend’s house and immediately hit it off so well that we were both inclined to go out on a date together.
I was getting over a breakup of a yearlong relationship and she was single, hungry for connection and for a relationship that had been eluding her all of her life.

We spent three glorious hours together, laughing and sharing about anything and everything, including our struggles in life, relationships, and what we were looking for in our lives.
I was having such a great time, I completely lost track of time. It was a half hour past closing time when the waiter dropped the check on the table, practically ushering us out the door.
I was feeling so overjoyed and magnanimous, I said, “You know what? I’m having such a good time with you, I’ll get the check.”
Instead of a warm thank you that I was expecting, her face soured. “What do you mean you’re having such a good time that you’ll pay?” she asked.
That completely changed the vibe. I got defensive. "When I asked you to dinner, did that automatically mean I pay?"
"Some things you should just know," she said. "You extended an invitation, so you should be paying."
Things were going downhill fast. I was already distancing myself, ready to cast her off as someone not worth pursuing.
After a pause and a deep sigh, she started opening up, becoming more vulnerable, with tears in her eyes. "I just really love to be treated for dinner. It makes me feel special. I guess I just need to feel special so badly. But it came out all wrong. I feel like such an idiot and so petty. That's not really who I am."
"I get that you were upset. I placed expectations on you, which made you feel unappreciated. I really do care about what you want. Thank you for acknowledging me and the joy I expressed."
"Wow!" She surprised me by opening up and being as real and vulnerable as she was. I began softening and understanding more about her reaction. But it was when I felt understood and heard by her that I took an about-face, heading from zero back up to ten in three seconds.
She reminded me what I was ultimately after above all else: someone with whom we both felt safe enough to be ourselves, be honest and real with each other, even when uncomfortable, and get through difficult conversations feeling closer and more connected as a result.
Now, 40+ years later, we're in the advanced stages of an ever-growing and deepening relationship, with two children and a grandson to show for our co-creation—representative of our bond that was forged on our very first date.

Lessons Learned
Connection and intimacy are bonafide stand-alone sources of nourishment and wellbeing, not quite an orgasm though.
We’re talking about platonic intimacy or pure connection; regardless of the relationship. It’s connection that we’re ultimately after and connection is what sustains us.
There’s nothing exciting or dramatic about connection. Its effects are subtle in nature, spiritual or energetic ways, but not like the excitement in my body when I’m attracted to someone, or when I’m escaping into my imagination, in love, or in an unconsciously driven or dependency-based relationship.


Concluding Summary
The Journey from Unconscious to Conscious Connection
These Ten Types of Attraction and Intimacy represent the common patterns that can either derail our pursuit of meaningful connection or, when navigated consciously, lead us to the relationships we truly desire. Each type carries both promise and peril—the promise of connection and the peril of sabotage when we're unconscious of their influence.
The Core Insight: Awareness is Everything
The thread that weaves through every type is the critical importance of awareness. Whether you're caught in the throes of fantasy, sexual attraction, the high of being in love, or the projection of unmet needs, consciousness is your lifeline. When you can recognize these patterns as they arise, you gain the power to choose your response rather than being unconsciously driven by forces you don't understand.

The Transformation Process
Moving from unconscious, reactive patterns to conscious, intentional connection is a journey of personal growth. As you become more aware of:
• Your unconscious projections and unmet needs
• The difference between fantasy and reality
• The temporary nature of highs and infatuation
• The importance of depth over surface attraction
• The value of genuine rapport and intimacy
You naturally begin attracting and being attracted to others who are also on this journey of conscious connection.


The Ultimate Destination
The goal isn't to eliminate attraction or avoid these experiences—it's to navigate them with wisdom and awareness. When you can experience sexual attraction without being hijacked by it, enjoy fantasy without acting impulsively, appreciate beauty without pedestalizing it, and recognize projection without being controlled by it, you become the captain of your own relational ship.
The destination we're all seeking is what I call "the womb space of co-creation"—that sacred place where two conscious individuals come together not from neediness or unconscious drive, but from wholeness and choice. This is where the miracle of true connection becomes possible.


Your Next Steps
Armed with this understanding of the Ten Types of Attraction and Intimacy, you now have a map for the terrain of human connection. Use this knowledge to:
• Observe yourself in relationships and dating situations
• Practice awareness when you feel these patterns activating
• Choose consciousness over unconscious reaction
• Seek relationships based on genuine connection rather than projection • Be patient with yourself as you learn to navigate these waters


Remember: every master was once a disaster. Every person who now enjoys deeply fulfilling relationships once struggled with these same patterns. The difference is that they learned to see them, understand them, and consciously work with them rather than being unconsciously controlled by them.


The Promise
As you implement these insights, you'll find that your relationships become more authentic, satisfying, and nourishing. You'll make fewer mistakes, experience less drama, and create more genuine connections. Most importantly, you'll discover that the person you've been seeking in others has been within you all along—and that from this place of inner connection, the most beautiful external connections naturally unfold.
The journey of conscious connection is lifelong, but it's also the most rewarding journey you can take. May these insights serve you well as you navigate your own pursuit of connection, and may all your relationship dreams come true through the miracle of conscious, authentic love.
If you've gained even one insight into how you can better navigate your pursuit of connection, I invite you to continue this journey by reaching out through RelationshipVision.com for individual, couples, or family guidance. The path to deeper connection awaits.
Did you ever diss a friendship?
Bobby Jean by Bruce Springsteen

Me and you, we've known each other
Ever since we were 16
Now you hung with me when all the others
Turned away turned up their noses
We liked the same music, we liked the same bands
We liked the same clothes
Yeah, we told each other
That we were the wildest
The wildest things we'd ever seen
Now we went walking in the rain
Talking about the pain from the world we hid
Now there ain't nobody, nowhere, no how
Gonna ever understand me the way you did
Maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere
In some bus or train traveling along
In some motel room, there'll be a radio playing
And you'll hear me sing this song
Well, if you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you
And all the miles in between
And I'm just calling one last time
Just to say I miss you baby
Good luck
Goodbye, Bobby Jean
(I think of my best friend of all time, from high school, who died of a heart attack at age 45, it’s the love I felt and the love between us and love I miss and can never be again, whenever I hear Bobby Jean)
