WHy do we fall in love ?

Romantic love both exhilarates and motivates us. It is also critical to the continuation of our species. Without the attachment of romantic love, we would live in an entirely different society that more closely resembled some (but not all) of those social circles in the animal world. The chemicals that race around in our brain when we’re in love serve several purposes, and the primary goal is the continuation of our species. Those chemicals are what make us want to form families and have children. Once we have children, those chemicals change to encourage us to stay together to raise those children. So in a sense, love really is a chemical addiction that occurs to keep us reproducing.
Regardless of the country or culture, romantic love plays an important part. While cultural differences in how that love is displayed vary greatly, the fact that romantic love exists is undisputed.

Question time…

Q1: But let’s get down to the nitty gritty. What is it that makes us fall in love with someone in the first place? ? ? ?

Q2: Is there something called ‘love’ , or is it just that humans wanna have u know what (sex)?

Re: WHy do we fall in love ?

I think your Q2 is anwsered by your Q number 1 mostly

Whats your definition of 'existing'? There are myriad definitions of existence.
Like Wittgenstein said : the world is a totality of facts, not things; I feel I at least have an epistemological handle on the facts, on what is the case: I am yet to find a metaphysical handle on what is.

Its an evolutionary thing whereby two people lose all sense of reason which ultimately leads to procreation.... the two people come to their senses too late ie after they are married and are stuck with each other for the rest of their lives.

We the humans feel the need to be loved. Hence, we all fall in love to fullfill the need. As for wanting to have sex, for some of us sex comes after love, for the rest sex tends to be the first reason to love and be loved.
