Whichever word you use, you may be putting the “cart before the horse.” I’ve seen and used the words attract, magnetize, match vibrations, alignment—and others.

Trump Is Ruining My Love Life
Recently I joined a dating site and it's been a journey into absurdity. It's also been a learning experience.
