Are you saying that the only reason relationships grow beyond "hello" is because of a feedback loop of mutual desire to be liked? If so I disagree. I've been seeing my girlfriend for close to two years now, and while we're probably a bit on the co-dependent side of the middle, we are not together solely because we want to be liked by the other. Personally, a person's attraction to me has little to do with my own attraction to them (as it is, I suspect, with any guy who has been painfully rejected going after the high school prom queen, or the hot girl at the gym, or whatever). But I'm sure there are relationships out there like what you describe.
