Answer 1

Physical Attraction: Physical attraction is one of the most important factors which is responsible for attraction. In romantic relationships, during the early stages of the relationship, physical attraction is more valued.

Similarity: People who are similar to ones own self tend to be more appealing to a person. For Example: Sharing similar interest like adventure sports, reading playing musical instruments attract people to one another.

Reciprocal liking: This means that when an individual expresses interest towards another person then that person may also start to like that individual.
