Has anyone ever fallen in love with someone because of something they did for you? If so, what specifically?

I'm asking this question because I'm doing research for a play. I have a character who has fallen in love with another because of something he believes the other person to have done for him. I would love to hear from any of you who have fallen for someone because of what he/she did for you. I am looking for something more concrete than "because they loved me back" or "because they are good to me". Please try and be as specific as you can. Did you fall for them because they gave your family money or helped you go to college? I'm looking for that type of an answer.

    This didn't happen to me, but I do understand the question and have an answer: Sacrifice. When someone endures a great sacrifce or stands up to a threat on behalf of another, it is hard not to love that person for it. Just ask Christians.

    Well sure. Its probably alot more common than most people would think.

    Two people meet and develop a friendship and as you get to know someone, really get to know them...what do you learn about them? What type of person they are. When you first meet, you notice physical features...but as time goes on and you really get to know each other....it becomes about who the other person really is.

    Most people, hopefully, do not fall in love with someone that is mean or abrasive and non-caring.

    I would hope this isn't about giving material things....giving your heart to another person is about as big as something can be. A heart cannot be replaced, feelings wise. Once you give yourself and fall in love with someone.....in order to really love them, be in love...you have to like who they are...and vice versa......

    Good luck with your play :)

    my current boyfriend and i were best friends before he and i started dating. when we were friends i had a different boyfriend (hector) who would beat the **** out of me at least three times a week. black eyes chunks of hair pulled out of my head. well almost every day i would see him and he would just listen to me and just be their. he didnt want to get into the middle of it and loose me as a friend so he was just their. and thats all that i needed from him. it was him that i thought about when hector would beat me, i honestly think that my boyfriend gave me the strength to leave hector. i fell in love w/ my boyfriend (josh) during our friendship, we have been together ever sence. josh is truly my love.

    Oh yes, I developed the biggest crush on my surgeon who saved my life, but of course reality set in and I got over it once he declared me well and I no longer had an excuse to see him.
