In British English, to fancy someone typically means you find them attractive and might want something romantic with them. Social psychologist Helen Fisher and colleagues have studied romantic attraction as a blend of lust, attachment, and reward-system activation in the brain. Those patterns often show up as intrusive thoughts, excitement before seeing someone, and a wish for closeness. A 2010 review in Psychological Review notes that early-stage attraction can feel intense even when long-term compatibility is still unknown.
