Companionship. Nobody wants to ever be alone.

Well, *I* can't. I gotta be around them and smell their smells and  see their body language. Love for me is a thing that happens after a few weeks of getting to know who they REALLY are.. live and in person. You can certainly like someone a lot and form an attachment. I just met too many strange people online and over the phone.. to "fall in love" based on a good conversation.

If you've fallen into it, it's not love!  (Will resist elaborating on that!!)  :D\n\nLove is something you GROW into.  So, when you grow into it, it is as real as any other course of action you choose.  If you aren't sure whether it's real, it is probably lust or just some form of attraction.  Not that those are bad things!  They can make it much easier to grow into love.  \n\nThe important thing is to make sure the other person also understands love and is capable of choosing love.  (That was where I got burned!)  Ideally, you would know someone well enough to start choosing to love them and getting to know them even better after a couple/few months.  Unfortunately, there are lots of less-than-ideal people out there, so I wouldn't recommend making a REAL loving commitment to someone until you've known them for a couple years.  Sounds like a long time, does it?  Well, heartbreak can last even longer!  And (if you're old enough for this to be a factor,) a child binds you to the other forever, no matter what else happens between the two of you!\n\nSo, don't be in a hurry to 'fall in love!'

When you fall in love with someone that is not meant for you, it can be like a nightmare; especially when you are only with them because of looks.  However, when you are with the right person, most of the time it will feel like a story book.  But remember, love is work! It will not be all fun and games and everything will not be perfect.  Be willing to work if you want to fall in love.

The reasons why people fall in love are varied. Some talked about chemical attraction (pheromones), and apparently it plays a great part in it. Of course, there's also the physical attraction, and that's more linked to what people called "lust". \n\nI take it that you can make the distinction between going out with someone, and loving someone.  Also, I'm only going to consider that the two persons involved are not commitment phobics.\n\nWhen people fall in love, they unconsciously tend to notice only the good things about their partner. Also, they tend to do more things for their partner. So that when the passion goes away and you get into a routine, you notice all the "shortcomings" of the other. Sometimes, it works out, but sometimes, you realise that you'll never be able to live with this person.\n\nEven if you don't mind the other's shortcomings, routine can be difficult to avoid. It can be difficult to keep love alive when you share everything with someone. Also, in a relationship, you are bound to compromise at some point - if you want to stay with that person, that is. \n\nThere's a book called "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" (it's a best-seller) and, although he could have summed up his ideas in 15 pages, I think it's a good book to read to understand how men and women think. Sometimes, you really want your relationship to work, but you don't know how to do it because you don't understand the other. Communication is VERY important in a relationship, but even if you try to communicate, you might be doing it the wrong way. I'm not saying this book has THE answer (everybody's different), but I think it's a good way to understand why couples fight for apparently no reason. \n\nI think that before people get married, they should go out for a while, then live together for a while, and see if they can handle their problems. \n\nPS: of course, sometimes, love just fades away.

cause there is no school that teaches how to fall in love with the right person. so like everything else we need to learn from our own experience. we try to find the right person, and in the process we end up falling in love with no so right people.\nit is important to make one more point here. many times people fall in love with you but you don't find them attractive and move on, and they end up suffering, then when you like someone and fall in love, you see the same thing happens to you, this process continues until finally, you find someone to love and in return the other person loves you back and that would be the perfect match. unfortunatly, most people don't have that much patience to go through their experiences and end up making wrong choices just because they are "tired of trying" and end up in the wrong relationship. so the point, you will be fine just have patience and enjoy the experience

I think everyone has their thing that makes them attracted to someone, in order to fall in love. For me, it sounds funny but after looks, it becomes about conversation, but mainly smell. If the guy smells good, man it just flips my switch.

Because you're still looking! Love comes when you least expect it! Stop looking so hard and let love find you!!!

i believe we fall in love with people who make us feel good about our selves.. or compliment what we believe. it is joined by the word attraction.. liking looks ,smell ...conversation or mannerisms of someone. love is putting your needs before  my own. what i mean by that is not being used by you.. but an example would be like a mom not eating so the kids can have something in their stomachs.  a person in love sacrifices.. some things so the one the love can have a need fulfilled. hurting when the person you love hurts. if his or her feelings are hurt..or loses a job..etc. wanting the best for somone even if the best means it will happen without you. too many people get the attraction and the feeling good part and call it love. but when the looks change(person gains weight) or the person gives contructive criticism(you drink too much or you need to do more around the house) they call it quits and say i dont love u anymore. in actuality they never did love. love is not turned off like a faucet. people get lust ..infactuation and sexual attraction confused with love. love does not see wrinkles ..love doesnt compete.. or abuse.

I believe we decide to love other people. What we think of as love or the way we feel when we're in love is really just a lot of chemicals playing tricks on us. To really love someone and to commit to them it has to be a conscious decision or we'll give in to an illusion and it won't last.

I think you may be asking the wrong question.  The right question is "Why do people fall in love?"\n\nIf you're looking a a simple answer based ONLY on sex (which is a dreadful mistake), it likely has to do with the reputation black men have for having larger "equipment" than whites.  It has also been suggested that some women are turned on by the contrast in skin colors.\n\nWe are in an age when those barriers, for the most part, have been broken down and it's no longer "taboo" for interracial relationships.\n\nThus ... the real question is ... "Why do PEOPLE fall in love?"  The answer is the same ... because they find someone who treats them the way they want to be treated, and they develop a loving feeling toward them.

Sure.\n\nSome people gradually fall for someone and some people find themselves falling for someone much quicker.\n\nIt's all in how much time you can spend together and how well things click between the two of you.\n\nBut, I would also say that often times what people label as 'falling in love' is nothing beyond a strong infatuation.\n\n//

There is no such thing (to me) as falling in love.  You are first attracted to a person but you need to take the time to get to know them from the inside out. That takes time. Years even.  A lot of time when people are building a relationship based on some foundations of trust, loyalty, honesty, likenesses, etc. love follows.  When you say you love someone, if you truly know the meaning - Read ! Corinthians 13.  It explains love like nothing else.

It's a fact of life that people who are 'in love' will eventually simply love one another. It's impossible for the raging fire that was once your feelings for each other to continue indefinitely. This is very normal. Eventually, you will feel the same and you will accept it and be happy that you have someone who loves you. There are people in this world who never have that.

FALL INTO REAL LOVE ON LINE???  Hmmmmm Im not much of a believer in that- although Im sure it has happenned.  I think you r more falling in love with IDEA of being in love!  U do not know this person REALLY, and you do not see him on a daily basis and therefor he is perfect, and it makes it so much easier to feel love towards a person who says the right things.  BUT you do not know his daily habits, his temperment, and all the little things that make up a true re;ationship.  This person also farts and scratches his butt in public!  lol  Just like allll the other men we know and love so well!  So I think Im saying- NO I think its more THEY ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF FALLING IN LOVE with their perfect man.

Falling in love because there is so much that can happen when your falling in love, the sky is the limit.  To be in love means you have gone through the motions and now you are stable in the love you have made.
