    well
    i think if there is affection then there has to be attention, but there can be attention without affection.

    searching the word attention on google gave me this result:
    a courteous act indicating affection

    so basically if ur friend likes u, and ur getting attention, ur also getting some affection at the same time, u just need to open up ur eyes a bit. :)

    (this is turning into shopa’s blog, shes the one that asks her readers to explain stuff, so if she reads this, i got one word to say : radaina? )

    Attention is when the guy is butt ugly and won’t leave you the hell alone.

    Affection is when the guy is salivatingly hot, and you ‘think’ he likes you cause he called you honey.

    Affection is hugging someone

    Attention is asking for a hug.

    Affection:
    fond attachment, devotion, or love

    Attention:
    directing the mind to an object

    So you say that affection, has more feelings to it.

    affection: i need you, but dont make a fuss.
    attention: make a scene and give me your undivided attention! i just want to give others a show to look at!
