The moon , even from such a distance from the earth is capable of attracting the objects on earth>But it cannot attract anything on its own surface and so objects float on its surface. How could this be?

I understand what you were trying to ask. . .. the bottom line people is: the moon is far away, SO how does it's gravity have the power to control the tides and such from way out there???
this is what is being asked. to hell with the floating part.....

If what you are doing is not working then it's about time you take that to another stage with assistance from someone who has been in your shoes and learned the artwork of attracting and seducing girls, Joshua Pellicer and the answers you will find in his book Tao of Badass here https://tr.im/tFgXe .
Joshua Pellicer is a dating skilled, who shows men most of the strategies behind getting the girl they would like to get and Tao of Badass is an on-line plan that tries to show guys how to get any hot and hot person they desire.

The moon effects our tides and water becuase of its orbit around us, sometimes it is closer to us and sometimes not.. the gravity the moon DOES have effects our gravity and water is liquid so it is the most seen affect of the moons gravity.
The reason the moon doesn't have water on its surface is cuz it does not have an atmosphere! a planet needs enough gravity to form an atmosphere and the atmosphere will keep the water on the planet.
Hope this helps!

objects do not "float" on the moon's surface. It has lesser gravity than on earth (1/16th) but not zero gravity. If that were the case the astronauts would have never been able to land on the moon in the first place!

The moon has a very large mass and this has a gravitational effect on our planet - on the water, the land, the air and the organisms that live on it. It also attracts the small bodies on its surface which is why it is a spherical body - otherwise it would not cohere; ie it would not exist.

If you mean "why don't tides affect people and rocks", they do. The earth rises and falls with the tides just as water does, but water, being fluid, can flow with the pull whereas rocks can't. The land rises and falls about 150mm to 200mm each high tide, but as everything around rises together, we don't notice it.
The moon does attract things on its own surface as others have pointed out.

I was really wondering that too . Me and my friend tried to figure it out ..and here is what we figured :- (was out best shot)
water flows , water is formed by little particules that are not clued one at another
you can seperate a drop of water from a glass of water right ?
Well lemme answer :) yes u can
but can u seperate w human being z leg without cutting it
what i mean is like .. what forms a human being are small particules
u need a huge force to hold them
where as anybody can take a drop of water and seperate it from a river or watever
the moon has the sufficiant power to attract a small drop of water .. so to attract the seperated small drops of water
while it can't attract the leg of a human being
it must attract him
it's impossible because it's low gravity :)
well all the cridits goes to my friend he helped alot '
Hope that was right!!

"so objects float on its surface."
No, they don't - Remember, astronauts landed and walked on the moon. They didn't float off of it!
The gravity of the moon is less than the Earth, because it is less massive, but it still has gravity.

I thought it was 1/6th of earths gravity, not 1/16th

Its not just the size of the planet/moon its the density also.
