I am choosing to do topic number three, which asks to discuss the mysterious topic of Interpersonal Attraction, and address both friendship and love.   Also I will give my experiences here and what I have learned from them.

Interpersonal Attraction is the degree of positive or negative feelings towards another.  Attractions account for a variety of social experiences such as admiration, liking, friendship, intimacy, lust and love (chapter 10,575).

When I dig up the box that says “ENDURING LOVE” I would ...
