I can give you a little insight. I'm not sure if these comparisons will hit home or not, but I'll try.
If you order food somewhere and the server brings you something extra, or a mistake is made and they let you keep it....do you feel a small, tiny swell of specialness?
When you make a joke to a group of friends and one of them really is enthusiastic about it and laughs a whole lot or tells you that it was a really funny joke to them, do you feel a warmness and or specialness?
Do you feel a secret little spike of maybe I'm a lil bit more special than these people around me right now?
If this kinda rings a bell for you, try amplifying mentally by like a hundred fold...that specialness with a person you are sexually compatible with seems flirty if they appear to be treating you special. If it is true or not doesn't really affect the feeling that springs up in your soul. That's the clouded judgement. It's like chasing a dragon when you feel that someone thinks your special. That's a high feeling.
Fwiw, my fiance was my best friend before we were together. She happened to be on the same wavelength as me when it all was going down.
