Expert Solution

Step 1: Introducing Attraction

When someone is emotionally or physically drawn to another person, thing or idea, this is called attraction. It can mean different things, like an emotional or physical attraction, an intellectual or physical attraction, or an attraction to someone's personality or character. The idea of attraction is complicated and has many sides. Personal preferences, national norms, and life experiences all play a role. It is a very important part of building relationships, whether they are romantic, friendship-based or based on shared beliefs and interests.
