Why Do We Fall In Love?
No matter how many times we resolve not to fall in love, we just do it again and again; time after time. And every time it is better than the previous time.
But the weirdest of all is that it is almost always a stranger. We seldom fall in love with somebody we know. Let’s face it, we don’t look into the face of a well known person and suddenly go weak in the knees. That is a stranger that does that to you.
If you don’t want to fall in love, avoid meeting or seeing strangers. But then there is probably a built in cut out switch somewhere to allow you to fall in love with a known person in the absence of strangers.
John and Mary will know each other for years and may be a perfect match but they will not fall in love with each other. However, it can happen that they may come to their senses and decide to throw their lot together. Given a bit of time they will grow to love each other and spend a lifetime in happiness but that was not falling in love. It is a cultivated love brought about by a logic decision and probably has the best chance of success.
So then why do we fall in love?
I think falling in love is a primitive breeding instinct to ensure the survival of the human species. And it is built into our genes to fall in love with a stranger to diversify our genetic material. Inbreeding had never been good for any genetic pool.
Have a great day and avoid strangers.

Good heavens no! Well I think not. I lost the ability to father a child in an industrial accident before I was 30 and it has not prevented me from falling in love. What is in the genes is in the genes.
But remember, this is not the result of a scientific study. It is just my observations regarding the topic. I may be all wrong.
You can not control l<3VE . No way on earth.
There is no reason for l<3VE.
I can go out of my step door and fall in luv with the first person that crosses me. That can be a friend, and old friend or a stranger.
Believe you me.
ty, how are you?
Yes, there is more to love but falling in love is not love. Imo they gave it the wrong tag. Love is a long term mutual affections, cultivated between two people and build on respect, common goals, etc. Falling in love is a temporary physical attraction that wears off; normally sooner than later.
Sorry
I missed your comment. I'm glad you found it funny for it was said somewhat tongue in the cheek. But both parties need to have their assets protected. Some countries have very funny legislation around common law marriage and you may find yourself relived of half you assets quite easily; even if you had not actually lived together in the same house.
The technique and frequency may change as we get older but the basic instinct remains the same; maybe less urgent but intrinsically the same.
Cyn_Real has gone to Lala Land.
The sun rises and sets earlier there.
No problem. The entire blog was written tongue in the cheek and I expected a somewhat different reaction to it at all. I thing if Dedovix gave us one of his corny cracks as a first comment, the blog may have gone in the direction I planned it.
Now I just sit here and play psychologist helping everybody on to early lunacy.
That sums it up about as accurate and concise as can be
Reading blogs and comments if like reading a Frederick Forsyth novel. So many abbreviations and anagrams, you have to keep a bookmark at the page where the explanations are. I had to Google LMAO to know what you said.
No problem. that was exactly what I did when I learned what it means.
LMAO.
it has always been strangers for me. The last one especially is my true love!
Now is that not coincidence. I had never fallen in love with a known person either and the last time I fell for her before I even met her.
good to know
hope you had sweet dreams
Back from Lala Land.
Good show.
As if you did not know that all along
Sorry, that went of to quick. I suppose my gun wnt of while cleaning it. Still meant to say more but now the moments is spoiled.
If you cannot experience the joy of falling in love it makes me even sadder than what I already am.
While we can fall in love with anybody, we can only stay in love with the 'right' one.
You always get bored when I am asleep.
How is your new love?
I guess I'm more or less in the same boat.
Yes, we do fall out of love again but by that time there should be more that just a physical attraction the keep the relationship going.
We are all different and have different perceptions of love and relationships. But no matter how we perceive and experience it, it remains real - believe me.
Good morning,
"all along" Now I have to disagree with you there!
Respect to you and cyn
.
Then call call me a liar for a few months.
I'm surprised to see you so active on CS today.
