'Is it possible that the simple act of calling someone's name out loud can inspire feelings of attraction?
It's a simple idea, one that seems too obvious, really. While reading Curtis Sittenfeld's novel 'Prep,' the main character suddenly, in an instant, is attracted to a person who the moment before, she hadn't thought twice about. What happened? He said her name.
Almost exactly the same thing happened to me quite a few years back, but it's a mysterious incident that I still think about now. In a single moment, the earth moved when I watched someone's lips form the syllables of my name.
Kind of makes you think, doesn't it.'
