》Your heart can actually break.
Research has produced evidence that intense, traumatizing experiences, such as a break-up, divorce, loss of a loved one, physical separation from a loved one, or disloyalty can cause real physical distress in the area of one's heart. This condition is called Broken Heart Syndrome.

》Some people can't feel love
Some individuals that claim to have never felt romantic love suffer from hypopituitarism, a rare disorder that doesn't support a person to feel the pleasure of love.

》Biologically, your love changes with time.
It is calculated that romantic love, which is associated with euphoria, dependence, sweaty palms, butterflies and alike, only lasts about a year. After that first year begins the so-called "committed love" stage. The transition is linked with elevated neurotrophin protein levels in newly formed couples.

》The parent trap
Some psychologists claim that we fall in love with someone who is comparable to the parent by whom we have unresolved childhood problems, oblivious we are seeking to resolve this childhood relationship in adulthood.

》Priorities change when looking for a long term companion.
There's confirmation that when scanning for a fling, the body wins over the face on a physical attraction basis. The reverse is true, however, for those who are looking for a long-term relationship companion.

》Add a little adventure to your life.
Examinations show that if a guy meets a lady in dangerous circumstances (and vice versa), such as on a trembling bridge, he is more likely to fall in love with her than if he met her in a more mundane setting, such as in an office.

》Feeling(s) make life that much sweeter.
Researchers observed at a group of people and discovered that those, who were reminiscing about love, said a specific kind of food was sweeter than those thinking about jealousy or something neutral.

》OCD = Love
Romantic love is biochemically indistinguishable from having a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
