What is the meaning of falling in Love

Meaning of falling Love

In romantic relationships, falling in love is mainly a western concept of moving from a feeling of neutrality towards a person to one of love. The use of the term "fall" means that the process is in some way uncontrollable, risky, irreversible, and that it puts the lover in a state of vulnerability. The term is generally used to describe an (eventual) love that is strong.

Sociobiologists point to the preeminence of heart over head at such crucial moments. Bonding with a mate "suggest that 'the answer to why we fall in love encompasses, complex neurochemical processes that occur in our brains when we are attracted to another person' and 'tell us that when we fall in love we are falling into a stream of naturally occurring amphetamines running through the emotional centers of our very own brains'.

Love is largely self-generated and falling in love a "process Stendhal calls crystallization....Before you fall in love, you see the other person as a bare branch; as you fall, you coat him or her with jeweled attractions about 80 percent of your own making".
