Plenty of men drooled and made it blatantly clear that their interest was purely physical. Those were the ones that never got to first base (genuine friendship) with me.
Genuine friendship is the only way that ever worked with me. It's not the guarantee; it's just that for me love is about the whole person, so you have to know him well before you can love him, and vice versa.
OK I really can't think in those terms. Not the type of person men drool over anyway. They want to have sex with me and yes sometimes that is all but I am not so good at identifying that beforehand. And sometimes I don't care anyway. I like receiving interest and it makes me feel worthwhile as a person. You have to start somewhere and might as well be with sex. Because the sooner we start - if they are interested in me - theoretically the sooner it gets good.
