He talks about how there was a connection before they even met. You're falling for a fantasy at that point, you don't know anything about the other person other than what you can imagine however I believe there was probably some unspoken attraction that was there from the beginning. I also think there was an element of Sue Ellen was Miss Texas, so status symbol, then she was shy and sweet like Patricia had taught her to be, so good socially like Jock and Miss Ellie would be wanting, and if she and JR were so head over heels attracted to each other then it would feel like love at first sight. Later on, after the initial period of dating someone that you feel is a real catch, that you can't keep your eyes and hands off, I think they related to each other on an emotional level too. Sue Ellen always tried to be there for JR, to support him emotionally, he turned her down one too many times before she changed tack and started to push back on his resistance, then cheating with Cliff, Clint etc.I think JR was his own worst enemy sometimes, he didn't let himself accept what was right in front of him and it ruined not only his life but those around him too.</blockquote>
