Expert: Laura Giles Date: 6/22/2008 Subject: Scarlett Johansson and Obama
Question "Recently there was news that Obama and Scarlett Johansson have been communicating with each other for months. Me and my friends were agrueing if that is the first step towards an affair. I heard about it at politico. She tireless campaigns for him, tries to meet up with him as much as possible and makes calls for him. She has joked about her heart belonging to him. For months he replys with thoughtfull emails. ( That means he is trying to establish intimacy) And not all of it is about politics. I have taken psychology courses before and this just screams the first step in towards an emotional affair. She gushes over him, the first time they met she sayed "I love yoir wife" What she really meant to say was I love you lol.
Does it sound like a door that could lead to many things. Mind she is 23 and he is 46
Answer Hi Jason,
Yes, I think you have a good understanding of the dynamics of how affairs start. This does not mean that THEY will have an affair, but this emotional involvement is often a precursor to physical involvement.
