Answer by Eliza-Nikole
I believe in God, or a higher power.
So i think that it is pre-destined to happen, and everything happens for a reason.
And i also think everybody has somebody for them, so that plays a factor in it for me.
But that’s my opinion. =)

well its hormones and also in the mind, especially since its been carried on for the past thousand years so we know about it, which makes us think about it, so then, when you are with someone, you maybe like them, like how you would hate or like someone, but its a feeling of love instead. So it makes you wanna be with them. (sorry, bad grammar)

It depends what you personally think. Some people think its pure chemicals in your brain other people think its just a instant emotion that can’t be explained.

I believe that we ‘fall in love’ because its our prime instinct to mate and reproduce. I also believe that we love random strangers because it’s exciting to do something out of the ordinary as well as it’s something we’re expected to do (esp with celebs).
Don’t get me wrong I’m not some twisted old hag…Im currently in a relationship and have been for many months.

Humans are drawn to each other because we’re social creatures. We don’t have claws, teeth, great speed or strength to survive. We survive because we’re intelligent and we can work together. Human beings that weren’t interested in interacting with other people are less likely to survive or find mates, much less pass on their genes to kids.

Love happens when you recognize the characteristics that you value (compassion, intelligence, wit, bravery, honor, etc.) in another person. If you happen to be physically attracted to that person’s appearence, pheremones, etc., then romantic love can occurr.

I don’t think that true *love* can happen between strangers. You can’t love who you don’t know. What occurrs between strangers is *lust*. Love and lust can exist together. But love is when you admire a person for who or she *really* is…….lust is when you admire someone because your body tells you that person could give you healthy babies. (Your body tells you this via hormones, pheramones, and visual/audial/tactile stimuli.)

I hope this clears things up : )

Hormones. What is better than that “tingle when you touch” period!!! It is the best feeling in all the world. Physiologically, it continues for about two years, and then if you have learned to enjoy and respect the person, you stay together. Sounds unromantic, but it’s true. I don’t mean it’s not good, but nothing is better than those first couple of years.

Your first question is philosophical: “Why do we ‘fall in love’?”
I believe we fall in love because of need. We need to feel like
we are wanted and cared for by others despite the likelihood of
great personal differences. As for “some stranger” I think that
a person falls in love with what they think they need. That sounds
like infatuation—-a one-sided love affair.
A true instance of “falling in love” occurs over time as the future
lovers define their r eal needs, not wants, and come to accept each
others differences.
Scientifically, it is the effect of biological processes (i.e., hormones)
determining your degree of attraction towards another.
