Alex, there are 2 questions that you have raised there to be clear:
Q1. Whether there is an attractive force between two masses?
YES there is. It was measured experimentally way back in the 18th century by Henry Cavendish and has been replicated many times since. The best way to accept something you don't believe is to look at the physical evidence and experiment.You could do it today and possibly much more accurately or easily with different techniques and equipment.
Q2. If there is (such an attractive force) and you know how it works please let me in on the specifics.
Sure, I answered that in my previous and last posts, in terms of the magnitude, direction and the atomic/subatomic/particle state basis for the force. Beyond that, there's always an Atomic Physics Lab, CERN etc... 
Best
