#we all already know anakin is padmesexual ofc

A little part of Padmé always wanted to settle down and have a family before that craving enhanced after she had met Anakin again, but before that point, she never indulged in any of her personal affairs because she felt a strong sense of duty. However I want to point out that this wasn’t the only reason. It’s true that Padmé is a workaholic and never found time to settle down. But this is also due to the fact that in her life, nobody ever peaked her interest enough or quite literally ever for her to want to “choose” them over her duty, the way Anakin does.

Padmé mentions in AOTC novel that the men who took an “interest” in her were never genuine and mostly always had an ulterior motive with her due to her status as a politician. This was one of the main factors why she never took interest in anyone till someone with a big heart as Anakin came along:

Padmé didn’t only neglect her personal desires because she was inclined to her duties but also because she wasn’t impressed with anyone that came around her, and most likely was waiting on the “right one” whenever that time came, or she just simply didn’t think much about this topic again (despite that she desires a settled life.) till of course “the one” {aka Anakin} unexpectedly came back into her life.

Padmé needed someone who was like her and in that sense, I mean someone who is as genuine, passionate, kind, generous, wears their heart on their sleeve, loving, loyal, etc and shared the same sentiments and emotional energy as she did and see her for who she was (as “Padmé” and not as Queen or Senator.) and only Anakin Skywalker fits the criteria Padmé desires. To put it more bluntly, only Anakin Skywalker could’ve truly won Padmé Amidala’s heart. He was the only one that can match her heart and soul, and love her as she is and not as whom she appears as. In conclusion, nobody else ever stood a chance, cause it wouldn’t have worked with anyone else. It had to be Anakin.

I think Catherine Taber (the voice of Padmé in TCW) said it best when she mentioned how Anakin is the only exception in which Padmé thinks with her “heart” instead of her “mind”. Anakin was the only one who had this affect on her and vice versa.

To top it off, Padmé confirms this as well in Queen’s Hope.
