WHAT MAKES PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE?
1. SMELL
smell forms part of the framework that conforms to cultural attractiveness standards. smelling delicious could be part of why do we fall in love.
2. LOVE PHEROMONES
invisible signals are part of what makes people fall in love. pheromones are unlearned, and perhaps unsmellable, signals that enter the brain through the olfactory system. they can function in sex, alarm, territoriallity, agression, and fear. other sensory cues are better explanations for why we fall in love, such as touch, smell, and hearing.
3. THE BRAIN
we fall in love partly because of hormones. oxytocin and vasopressin are present when people fall in love and stay together for a long time. dopamine is also part of the chemistry in romantic relationship. so, when you're wondering, "why doesn't he love me?" you have to look your brain chemistry as the answer. it's not necessarily you, it's just your brain chemical didn't mesh. lack of hormones could explain why do people fall in love.
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE NEVER RECOVER FROM BREAKUPS?
those people think that there's ONLY ONE match for their criteria in this world and they aren't aware on the fact that there're hundreds of people there who could meet their criteria they never recover from breakups.
you can fall in love with anyone as long as he matches your criteria and that's why you should never feel bad after a breakup, simply because sooner or later you'll find another one who matches your criteria and he/she may even be better than the first one. :)
DOES LOVE AT THE FIRST SIGHT REALLY EXIST?
YES, IT DOES. :D
if someone meet your unconscious criteria the same moment you saw him/her then most probably you will fall in love at the first sight.
you might be asking yourself, how can i know that he meets my criteria while i never talked to him before?
the answer is simple, the criteria might include items, like the way he walks, talks, and stares at you.
it could also happen if him/her actions or looks reminded you of someone you loved before. people often fall in love with those who are similar to the ones they loved before.
