Answer 1

We fall in love because we need each other. People are so frail alone and will (and do) literally die of loneliness. Finding someone who completely enhances your life, who thinks like you, you shares your life goals and who you fancy is wonderful. Staying in love...well I am clearly the wrong person to ask about that.

Answer 2

As far as I'm concerned, it's a trick of biochemistry to make us inclined to procreate and bond long enough to care for offspring.

Answer 3

Because of norepinephrine and dopamine.

Answer 4

Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?

Answer 5

Loneliness. As herd animals we crave a herd of our own. At some point as we age our herd thins out and being alone isn't fulfilling, so we try to make a new herd. Love is born from the desire to have someone else around

Answer 6

Roses are red, violets are blue, love isn't real, everybody acts only in self interest.

Answer 7

Love is an advanced stage of lust

Answer 8

I think we fall in love due to a mix of several different reasons: societal expectations, fear of being alone, the human need for affection and touch, processes in the brain are triggered that give us feel good chemicals (dopamine/endorphins/serotonin, hormones, the feeling of excitement love causes, the basic human need to feel wanted, procreation, and the inability for many of us to not learn from our past mistakes.

Answer 9

When we see someone we like our brain disconnects from the cortex completely and all sense of previous relationship related pain, (the ex who cut off your dogs head and ate it), vanishes!!!

Without this magical chemical reaction we would have no tiny humans lol.

Answer 10

Simple. It's chemistry. In order to reproduce, humans need to form a strong bond, so hormones give you a rush that we call love.

Answer 11

Because if we are to continue as a species, something has to overcome reason.

Answer 12

I think it's a chemical ' Imbalance ' LOL

Answer 13

Genetically engrained need to procreate

Answer 14

She swallowed. ....

Answer 15

For me it's simple. I don't want to live this life alone. I want a best friend. Makes life better to share it with another person. So falling in love is mainly the hope that the other person feels the same way.

Answer 16

It's one of those gifts in this life.

Answer 17

Because makes sex more valuable!

Answer 18

@nineteen79

I think that people who fall in love make a conception about their own needs, and who the other person is, and then assume that the person they love is amazing, which will look after their emotional needs.

Answer 19

When feelings of romance are reciprocated.

Answer 20

Brain chemical reactions. I'm original lol.

Answer 21

Sorry it's not more romantic, it's
chemicals & hormones.

(And when we don't know,
"Its aliens...its always aliens" )

Answer 22

Whats that ???

Answer 23

Not everybody does.
I want to bottle it,
I know lust is a major ingredient and don't let people tell you otherwise.
Loving someone and being in love with someone are different.
One has lust.
