ATTRACTION

In general, an 'attraction' draws one object towards another one.

★ In physics, 'attraction' may refer to gravity or to the electromagnetic force.

★ If a person finds an object, situation, feeling, another person, etc., attractive, then he/she/it is considered enjoyable/desireable.

★ If it is another person who is found to be attractive, it is called 'interpersonal attraction'; this is not necessarily sexual, and can be due to an appeal of facial features. Friendship and possibly romance can follow if the attraction is mutual.

★ Sexual attraction is a more specific form of the above case.

★ In entertainment, 'attraction' is a theatrical production.

★ In grammar, 'attraction' is the process by which a relative pronoun takes on — that is, is "attracted to" — the case of its antecedent.

★ In metaphysics, 'Law of Attraction' posits that a mental disposition will attract equivalent external circumstances and events.
