Ever wondered how and why people fall in love with each other? What is that special something that brings you closer to that person?

There's no convenient all-inclusive explanation for why people fall in love. But the following factors could increase the chance of falling in love with someone.

You tend to fall in love by getting to know a person. In fact, feelings of love can overcome a person after you letting someone really get to know you is a good way to get them to fall in love with you.

"Opposites attract" isn't really true. Similar people tend to be attracted towards each other. Scent drives attraction. Women, especially when ovulating, are attracted to men's scent of testosterone even more.

It's weird, but men are attracted to women who look like their moms. And girls like guys who look like their dads. Another thing you can't do much about is height. Women are attracted to taller men because they see them as more "manly."

Do something thrilling or exhilarating with the other person. Not only will it bring you closer together in the moment, but it will make them feel excited when they think of you!

Distance does NOT make the heart grow fonder. Long-distance relationships have less success because affection is often derived from seeing people, even unexpectedly.

Smile more. If you smile more, you're seen as positive, which is a turn-on for both sexes.

Don't have your partner be better looking than you are. This sounds funny, but couples have a better chance of falling in love if they feel about each other as much alike and not more attractive than the other person.

Even in the face of equal rights, both men and women put a premium on those who put others before themselves. But don't be a people-pleaser or a doormat, because that gets the opposite reaction.

If you have a symmetrical face, the other party will interpret that as beauty. People are subconsciously attracted to it even if they don't realize it.

Keep open body language with your hands and arms spread open. Those who tend to close off their body appear guarded and uncomfortable, which makes them less desirable.

Get the other person to stare into your eyes for two minutes. It might be an awkward request and activity, but it always leads to intimacy and attraction between two people.

Those with musical talent are deemed more attractive and desirable. In fact, those holding a guitar case got more interest in an experiment than those holding gym bags.

I will elaborate it by trying to tell what my own experience is. It could be figured out that there are two main things that caused m e to fall in love with my man, and those two things are: Respect and attraction.

Of course there are many other things as well, but when a man displays the behaviors and personality traits that women feel naturally attracted to (confidence, drive and ambition, masculinity, emotional strength), he had all these in abundance and was amply able to trigger a my feelings of sexual desire for him.

This way my feelings of respect for him grew up and I then began to fall in love with him.

Further into our relationship I felt like he kept on nurturing and growing those feelings of respect and attraction in me all through these years, therefore, my love for him also got stronger and deeper over time and I feel If he kept on doing that, our relationship will definitely be heading to last a lifetime.

Love occurs when the attributes that generate general attraction and the social factors and circumstances that produce passion are particularly strong.

The general attraction attributes could be : (1)Similarity: This includes similarity of people’s beliefs and, to a lesser extent, similarity of personality traits and ways of thinking. (2) Familiarity with the other : It can be caused by spending time together, living near each other, thinking about one an other, or anticipating interaction with the other. (3) Desirable characteristics: This general attraction attribute is particularly focused on an outer physical appearance that is found desirable and, to a lesser extent, on desirable personality traits. (4) Reciprocal liking: When the other person is attracted to you or likes you, that can increase your own liking.

Yes, most people(around 95%) fall in love because they want to feel something which they have never felt before. They want to involve themselves in love making sessions but they simply can’t ask that girl/boy for it as it will be awkward, so what all they do is fall in love with each other.

My statement could be called a bit harsh, but before bashing me for my writings and questioning me about my statement, just give a deep thought about it. Just ask yourself, why do we always fall in love with the opposite gender and not the same ones? What all people say is “love is about care for each other, trusting each other, supporting each other” and so on. Then just tell me, doesn’t the same gender of people possess these qualities? Is the opposite gender only bound to have these qualities?

It’s certainly a big NO. The same gender have those qualities too. That’s why a boy has a boy bestfriend whom he calls his brother and a girl has a girl bestfriend whom she treats as her sister. Yes, there is love between them too but still they fall in love with another gender because all what they crave for at this stage of life is sex and intimacy.

It is a proven fact that you fall in love due to the looks and particular body sizes a person has, as these things will give you immense pleasure while making out with them.

Time. I think people fall in love when they are forced to spend time together regardless of attraction.
