Learn - Once attraction occurs the next step in a relationship is getting to know the person. The same is true for our relationship with God; we must get to know Him. We will do this through the references He has provided; Sacred Scripture and The Catholic Church (yes God gave us The Church but more on that later).
Live - Relationship development involves change. We change habits when attracted to someone as an effort to please them. Some changes can be difficult while others are relatively easy. As we learn about God, we naturally will want to change so that what we do is pleasing to Him and improves our relationship.
Love - As our relationship with God grows we become aware that He loves us and that we love Him. We will soon realize that our mutual Love is selfless and makes us hungry to know more about one another --- so we are back to Learning about God.

Evangelii Nuntiandi is a great read on this topic of how a person is evangelised .. what the steps are (beginning with attraction) to the final moment .. the desire to evangelise others.
