I think you can absolutely be attracted to and even have strong feelilngs for your T without it being strictly "transference". I agree that T's and Pdocs may prefer to use the term transference so they can keep the issue on a more clinical and less personal level. Really transference takes place in most relationships, especially romantic ones. If your T is hot, then you are just that more vulnerable to attraction and becoming infatuated. If you find a T of the opposite sex attractive before you've met, I would try to find a different one. But that's just me. It's easy to get attached in therapy anyway, so I think if you find him/her physically appealling from the get-go it would be even harder.
