Usage notes
- Use attrarre for general attraction: people, attention, investment, tourists. For romantic pulling, attirare is often more common in everyday speech.
- Past participle is attratto. In compound tenses it takes avere: ho attratto, not sono attratto.
- Non mi attrae means “it doesn’t appeal to me.” It’s common for tastes and preferences, not just physical attraction.
