I think what should be emphasized here is that not every Venus/Mars interplay will lead to physical attraction.
I have Mars opposite my sister's Venus and I think here it manifests as an ability to get along.But with Venus /Mars, one must "manage" relationship because it can also escalate towards arguments and dislike.
Any planet either influenced by Mars/ in house 8 or 1 or ruled by Mars, needs supervision ans management in personal and interpersonal relationships as it tends to go to "war" easily.
So for you, as I stated in the previous thread, examine how the nature of your relationship unfolds as you get to know each other. Wider orbs may take more time to get started.
You could just have a platonic friendship that allows you to get on. But with Mars therein, there will likely be bottleneck situations as Mars either irritates or is the one who is irritated.
This is especially so when Mars is in Aries or Scorpio. Whilst if Venus is in Aries or Scorpio, there is either strong like or strong dislike of the other. You are either getting on or not even interested in each other's names etc.
@ScandinavianCrab
I lived with someone whom had Venus Libra conjunct my Mars in Libra within a tight 2 degree orb. Add to that Moon in opposition to Mars also tight.
We didn't get on to a point of friendship. But we were cohabiting and so we were civil to each other.
As time went on however and we were around each other much more, there was a rapport. Albeit there were instances where he sorely annoyed me (His Moon square my Moon), I am sure my Mars also irritated him.
Strangers at a job may not immediately gravitate towards each other because of this aspect alone. As I am surmising from your post that you liken it to physical attraction. No.Not at all. At least not always.
You can also feel a strong physical attraction for someone who does not have Venus/Mars contacts to you. This Venus/Mars contact is based on the ability to get along long-term as Planets do not "dictate", they support.
People with aspects in synastry between Venus/Mars tend to get on on one hand as they don't have the spirit(Mars) or actions of one party constantly undermine the positive state of mind(Venus) or outlook of the other.
Whilst also on the other hand, it is true that formidable opponents/ competitors can have a Venus/Mars aspects because Mars is heat and may not kautau to Venus' love for peace and understanding. Mars can spur Venus to be more competitive or reflectct Mars' more aggressive energy.
If there is physical attraction,Venus/Mars can compound it so much that the two people rush(Mars) into an agreement/marriage/relationship or sex(Venus).
A break-up is of course almost always imminent as Mars is(once again) heat.But so is a make-up soon after that "break-up".
Venus/Mars is a strongly contradictory relation of energies as is Venus/Pluto,Moon/Mars,Moon/Uranus, Venus/Uranus. As with all of these,there is a push/pull dynamic that is likely unavoidable.
