- I'd suggest asking yourself what it is that precedes the spark of attraction, and how that has differed from one instance to the next, for you.
- Is/was it a personality trait that attracted you to someone? A physical one? Something as simple as a nice pair of dimples? Maybe it was the scent of fine cologne, just under your awareness. Physical fitness. An ineffable quality of poise, assurance, something 'one step above' that you didn't realize no one else had, until you crossed paths with this person? Some talent, like singing or dance?
- Likewise: Did the attraction hit you like a ton of bricks, or grow over time?
- Each falling-in-love can be unique. Make a list from your own experience, and see what fits in your story and for your character.
- Then:
- For each person you've fallen for, ask what the experience of initial 'falling' was like. Was it a surprise? Was it a challenge you couldn't wait to sink into? Was the crush of it wonderful, or annoying and distracting? Was your swoon unrequited? How about this--was it the **presence** of the person that made you aware of the feeling, or that person's absence?
What you want, for your character, are the **details.** Foreshadow beforehand in any number of ways, and then be certain the love interest displays the detail she will fall for, and then have the details of her response to that detail be sensory and full.- That's my advice. Hope it helps.
