‘Why Do We Fall In Love With Someone?’ 5 Things You Didn’t Know

What happens when you have a crush on someone and are completely smitten by him? You begin to appreciate his habits, his behaviour and everything he does, don’t you? Gradually you fall in love with him and he’s all you think about, but have you wondered why? What is that butterfly kind of feeling you get? At times you are even upset when he isn’t around and you miss him so much. You are head over heels in love with him but is it just his charm, looks, and personality or something else? If you wonder, why we fall in love with someone then, here is a thread we found on Quora that’ll give you all the ‘right’ reasons for it! Have a look.

1. ‘Romantic love is the result of chemical processes in the brain’ – OMG! It’s a chemical locha!

Naveen Kumar answers on Quora: Romantic love is the result of chemical processes in the brain. Modern science has proven that it is the result of chemicals in the brain. In particular, the experience of love is caused by three key neurotransmitters: dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.

a. Dopamine is one of the key neurotransmitters researchers have found to coincide with feelings of romantic love.

b. The feelings of exhilaration and stimulation that accompany love – like butterflies in the stomach or a rapid heartbeat – are caused by the release of norepinephrine.

c. Serotonin is responsible for the increased restlessness and the constant thinking about your beloved.

2. ‘Love is nature’s method of protecting the self, the group and the offspring’ – It’s a sweet protective blanket for all of us!

Ioana Kiss answers on Quora: Love is nature’s method of protecting the self, the group and the offspring. Hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and even adrenaline give us a great sensation we call ‘love’, and we get addicted to it. Thanks to this addiction, we keep repeating patterns of behaviour which bring more hormonal releases, and this is what we call ‘bonding’.

3. ‘Everything that happens in the universe is to achieve stability’ – Wow!

Himanshi Yadav answers on Quora: Stability. Everything that happens in the Universe is to achieve stability. You love because you think it will benefit you…umm yes! You love to get a grip on life. That is weird and hard to believe, but it’s true.

5. ‘We love because that’s what our soul feeds off of’ – Ahhh… Food for the soul!
