Constant close quarters lead to intense attraction.
This was first explained by Zelda Gilroy to Dobie Gillis in the 1959-1963 TV series, The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, except Zelda called it "Propinquity."

I am experiencing proximity infatuation right now.
Me, thinking about F colleague: She is beautiful. I want to...I want to....(you know what)
F colleague: Says nothing, how is she supposed to know what I am thinking? Is SHE thinking the same thing?
----------------
First, of all, I'm not that sure she IS beautiful, but it doesn't matter any more, I am infatuated. My wife would not approve of any of this and does not need to know. It's not going anywhere, anyway. Sigh.

Get the proximity infatuation mug.A syndrome in which the saved falls for the savior. Whether they were saved from themselves, or a tower with a dragon, or an abusive significant other some people just can't help falling in love with the person who saved them. But it can lead to a bad/toxic relationship if the saved party/savior becomes clingy, overbearing, bossy, pushy, possessive, etc.
"Millie, your salvation infatuation is going to get you hurt."
Abbie could feel her heart patter, as he pulled her back onto the ledge. It was the start of a salvation infatuation.
