I. INTRODUCTION Did you know that yeast is the only substance that is asleep until you mix it with something in order to activate it? Well, many people may say, “No.” Well if we thought about it, what activates bread to rise?

love we feel towards someone. Interpersonal attraction is established from the human nature of needing to belong. Baumeister and Leary (1995, p.522) stated that the need to belong is a "strong desire to form and maintain enduring interpersonal attachments." Interpersonal attraction can be present between anyone such as family members or friends, although within this essay I will focus on interpersonal attraction with regard to romantic relationships and what draws two people together.

Adults can help in the manner we deal and speak with them.

I remember when I was at the mall with my sister and my nephew, who was 2 years of age at the time. We were walking around, window shopping then all of a sudden my nephew started booking it down the mall…as if he was trying to run away from us.

insecure-resistant/ambivalent as well. It all depends on her mood or how she is feeling that day. Times when she is happy she is the secure attachment. It all depends on her mood, where she is, and whose she 's with. Most of the time she is the secure attachment.
