attraction

What magnets feel

Attraction is a force that draws things together—whether physical objects, people, or interest.

Gravity is an attraction between masses; magnetism attracts iron.

Between people, attraction usually means romantic or sexual interest: I felt an immediate attraction to her.

A tourist attraction draws visitors.

The word covers anything that pulls attention or desire toward itself.
