5 Interesting Facts About Love You Probably Don't Know

When you think about love, you probably picture couples holding hands or driving off into the sunset together. You might picture yourself falling in love with the one special person of your dreams. You might even have a list of things your perfect mate should embody. The thing is, there are many biological factors that go into “falling in love.” Love is overly romanticized in today’s culture, so you probably don’t know these scientific facts about love
1. LOVE CAN LITERALLY MAKE YOU CRAZY
Something you may or may not know about love is that it can lead to serious infatuation. The same levels of serotonin that bring about the infatuation are found in those with obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is an anxiety disorder. This is probably why you cannot seem to think of anyone else when you have fallen in love
2. FALLING IN LOVE IS AS ADDICTING AS COCAINE
3. LOVE NEEDS TO BE “BLIND” FOR SURVIVAL
4. WE ARE ATTRACTED TO THOSE WHO LOOK AND/OR SMELL SIMILAR TO ONE OF OUR PARENTS
5. WE ALSO TEND TO FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE OURSELVES
Although we might not want to think about these things when we are falling head over heels, it might be necessary to remind ourselves to not completely lose our heads in the chemical love spell we are surely under.
