Or am I just the paragon saint of puppy love?

Seriously though, do y'all have a crush on each of your friends?

the primary causes for attraction is proximity

This is what is behind "office hot". You work with someone 40+ hrs a week who is even average looking and they start to grow on you. You can definitely be attracted to briefly seeing someone too though. I've seen woman briefly that have left me flustered for the rest day.

Oh yeah, the above does not negate that spontaneous visual attraction people can experience even on a brief and chance viewing. The link I gave doesn't talk about that, but if I remember properly, I think statistically if you count everyone you might see in, say, the grocery store, the sort of sighting that leaves you flustered is a very low percentage of everyone seen.
