FROM a formal standpoint, attraction is an incoherent individualised combination of perhaps psychological and biological ideas. There isn’t always an explanation or distinguishing element for why one person is drawn to another or why someone has difficulty shifting their mind away from someone they’ have only just met. Just as there is no one way to love, there is no one way to be attracted to another person which might be perplexing if, for example, you are romantically drawn to someone but not sexually. And, of course, what one person finds appealing may make another grimace. While most people associate attraction with sexual attraction, there are several other sorts of attraction that people feel throughout their lives.
