Andrew and Sarah, two young, lovely, joyful persons who went to the same university. Sarah has beautiful, blue eyes which Andrew thinks world’s best. These wonderful eyes were the reason for which Andrew fell in love with Sarah. And why Sarah? She loved the way how Andrew praised her beauty, his compliments, his madness.

John and Richa worked in the same organization. They were good colleagues and also good friends. They loved spend time together after office or in free time. They felt comfortable while talking to each other since most of the time their mentality, way of thinking matched. They never run short of topic while talking. And eventually they discovered they are in love with each other.

Leo, a heart-broken, lonely guy, was so frustrated that he badly need someone to share his sorrows, to get relief from his loneliness, and one day, eventually, found a girl named zeny in a social media. zeny is a very sympathetic, simple, kind-hearten girl. She could not remain indifferent after hearing Leo’s sad story. She sighed, “Ahh! what a poor guy!” Gradually they started spending more time chatting with each other. A feeling of dependency grew between them. And finally, they fell in love.

Why do people fall in love?- a very common question though the answer of which is not that simple. Human psychology is very complex and varies with person to person. The thing becomes much more complex when love is involved in the scene. Love, though a sweet and heavenly feelings, is very complicated at the same time. And for this very reason, the question “Why do people fall in love?” cannot be answered from a common ground or in general.

For this, we find different stories of falling in love of different couples around the world. For example, if we try to observe the three stories stated in the first part, we will find various factors those worked behind falling in love for these three different couples, six different persons.

For Andrew, Sarah’s beautiful appearance especially her blue eyes was the reason. On the other hand, Sarah, in deep of her mind, loves to be praised which she got from Andrew. Similarity in mentality and way of thinking have worked great for the second couple, John and Richa. In Leo‘s case, he desperately needed someone to get rid of his loneliness; and zeny, stimulated by her sympathetic mind, went forward to help a broken heart guy.

The reasons or factors are not always a product of conscious minds. Sometimes one might meet a person, spend some time together, unconsciously any factor matched and then consequently s/he realize a feeling of love inside him or her for the person.

A number of different theories of love have been proposed by Psychologists and researchers . According to them, love is a very basic human emotion which is not so easy to understand why and how it happens. Compassionate love and Passionate love are the two basic types of love.

The important features of Compassionate love are mutual respect, attachment, affection, and trust. Elements of passionate love are intense emotions, sexual attraction, anxiety, and affection.

If we think deep or try to dig out human psychology, some psychological factors can be found which play important role singularly or sometimes collectively to make people fall in love, like:

Loneliness: No living being like to live alone. S/he needs a trusted company who will never let him/her feel lonely, with whom s/he can spend his/her leisure times. This hatred for loneliness is an important factor that stimulate one to fall in love.

You met two boys named “A” and “B”. A does not like making fun and hang out. He is a bit boring to you because he never gives you time, and always busy with serious task, such as business. on the contrary, B is more or less similar to you who loves to have fun ,very jolly and enjoy hang outing.
