Social Attraction

Social attraction is a form of tertiary attraction, defined as “aspirational” or mentor-attractional desire to be closer to and/or more like someone because of their perceived talent and/or wisdom, based on socializing with any particular person(s) or group(s), forming social relationships, interpersonal/group dynamics and societal relations.

This could specify the need of social relationships within the public life sphere, showing themselves as socially closer and more alike you might inspire in you this form of attraction.

Social crush may be called rush. Rushes (or otherwise social contacts) are not essentially friend(ship)s, that's why sociality is separated from platonism/platonicity and amicality.

Those not experiencing social attractions may be called asocial.
