An emotional connection is a feeling of alignment and intimacy between two people that goes beyond just physical attraction, having fun together, surface-level conversations, or even intellectual similarities. Instead, it feels like you're connecting on a deeper soul level—and feel secure connecting that deeply.
Chemistry is the emotional connection that two people feel when they have feelings for each other. Chances are, if you are feeling it, they are feeling it too! It can sometimes be difficult to decipher whether the other person is feeling the same way as you are.
More than anything, an emotional connection with your partner is the ability to have deep, substantial conversations about things you'd struggle to talk to just anyone about—feelings, friends, family entanglements, politics, religion, goals and dreams.
If you feel seen and heard by the other person, it's a sign you're experiencing a deeper connection. You're able to communicate easily and things flow effortlessly. Being with the other person feels nurturing and like they understand you on another level.
In plain language: Men often feel most loved by the women in their lives when their partners hug them, kiss them, smile at them, and explicitly offer gratitude, praise, and words of affection. Men also feel loved and connected through sexuality, often to a greater degree than women do.
Romantic chemistry focuses on characteristics present between two people, including mutual interests, similarity, and intimacy. According to Kelly Campbell, P.h.D., the more present these characteristics are, the more likely two individuals will perceive chemistry between each other.
Contrary to prevailing gender tropes, many men crave deeper emotional connection, work hard for it and don't always receive it in return.

Why we feel instant attraction to some people, and not others, is affected by lots of different things: mood, hormones and neurotransmitters, how alike we are, the shortage of other partners available, looks, physical excitement, and the proximity of geographical closeness.
similarity: how like you they are, for example, do you share similar interests or values. reciprocity: we're more likely to like people who like us. physical attractiveness: are they pleasing to look at? familiarity: we like people who seem comfortable to us.
The brain's hypothalamus influences the production of the hormones testosterone and estrogen. This drives our feelings of sexual desire. When we are attracted to someone, our brains release high levels of dopamine and norepinephrine.
Broadly speaking, intimacy means deeply knowing someone, while also feeling deeply known yourself. It is something humans crave, and though at times, it may seem more difficult for men to express it, that doesn't mean they don't need or want it.
“Emotional intimacy could be defined as allowing yourself to connect more deeply with your partner through actions that express feelings, vulnerabilities and trust,” says Sanam Hafeez, a neuropsychologist in New York City and faculty member in Columbia University's clinical psychology Ph. D. program.
Strong chemistry between a man and woman is a feeling of intense attraction felt by both the man and woman. In many cases, these feelings are accompanied by the desire to be intimate with themselves, spend more time together, and even commit to something bigger (sometimes).
Passionate love feels like instant attraction with a bit of nervousness. It's the "feeling of butterflies in your stomach,"Lewandowski says. "It's an intense feeling of joy, that can also feel a bit unsure because it feels so strong."
