Actually u pull the the Earth and the Earth pulls u as well but since the mass of the Earth is much more than Ur's the force with which u pull the Earth is negligible .
force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the body

Some of the people here are close to the answer but slightly off. Both you and the Earth exert gravitational forces on each other. Gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass in the object. The earth has a great deal more mass than you so it is more pulling on you than you on it. Just as the Sun has a great deal more mass than any of the planets in the solar system and so it keeps them revolving around itself.

All things with mass exert a gravitational pull on other objects with mass. It's just that the Earth is many times more massive than a human being, so the Earth's gravity is far stronger than a human's.

Both simultaneously. You're both pulled toward the center of mass of the system (you + Earth). Since the Earth has so much more mass than you do, the center of mass of the system will be much closer to the Earth's center of mass.

Actually, both. Anything that has mass also has gravity. Just the amount is directly related to size. Well, except for a black hole.
You are created of matter, matter has mass and therefore you exert a finite amount of gravity. Just not nearly as much as Earth does.

Both. You pull on Earth and Earth pulls on you. Earth is so much bigger than you, you pulling back does not really do much to the Earth.

Step aside from the god quote -
Every force has and equal and opposite reactions (Newton)
So you have and equal, but opposite force on the Earth.

Both. But it pulls a bit more than you pull it though - proving beyond all doubt that God doesn't exist...obviously.
