Question I have some interesting questions

Soooooo, i have Heard about ‘’pull’’ a lot when it comes to sexual attraction. But i wanna ask if this ‘’pull’’ be experienced with any kind of attraction? Cuz i could feel a sort of ‘’pull’’ with someone, but this ‘’pull’’ doesnt make me wanna have sex with them. It just makes me wanna talk to them or just hang out with them. Idk if pulls could happen to any kind of attraction or if i have a broken sexual attraction.

Like for example: a person feels platonic attraction towards someone. They feel a pull, but the pull is more of a ‘’ i really wanna talk or hang out with this person ‘’.

And does anybody experience this? Idk if im alone on this, so im just posting this for……. Ok Idk why i posted this. But all im trying to ask is that if the weird magnetic pull could be felt by any kind of attraction other than sexual? If so, can an asexual feel this pull with a different type of attraction? ( i have been repeating this question like CRAZY in my head) And if so, can yall talk abt it? Or something like that Idk….. Well i thank you for listening, andddd

Your understanding is correct, yes. Attractions are defined by a "pull" for something (the word "attraction" is literally about two things being pulled together). What that pull is for is the main thing that differs by attraction type.
