Something to think on
I hadn't considered the wanting to be wanted emotional reponse - I would guess in a way it a part of lusting after someone, particularly if they show an interest in you.

I generally use the same yardstick, but I also look at how they treat others, as people tailor their responses depending on who they're talking to and you can get a better idea of the underlying them by observing them interact with people other than yourself.

It's just a pity it's one of those things that really had to be learnt the hard way.
