The magic of love.

You can't eat or sleep, feel butterflies in your stomach and get clammy hands when you see him or her? This is what they call love! But what happens when you're in love? And how do you know if you're in love? Here is the answer!There already have bin a lot of research about love, but it's still not clear why people fall in love with eachother. Several investigators have shown that smell plays an important role in choosing a lover. A woman seems to smell the other person, to smell if he / she is a potential lover. Boys and girl go trough the same experience when they fall in love. Not able to eat and sleep, being hyperactive and happy, no ability to concentrate, butterflies in your stomach and very clumsy behaviour in front of your love. These are all signs of love. These signs of love  are caused by certain substances in your body that are released when you're head over heels in love.


Your brain create different types of hormones and neurotransmitters. Examples are adrenaline, dopamine and endorphins. Many of these substances are also found in drugs, so actually you can say you can be addicted to love. This explanes why it hurts so much when you end up a relationship. Your body has used to get these substances and is suddenly out of it. You will cry and feel anything but happy, but that´s normal cause most people only stay in love for about a year. Then your crush will change in to loving someone.

When you've broken heart, you feel so terrible because your body is not getting love drugs. Then you can eat chocolate, laughi, work out or cuddle a good friend. When you do these things your body will make the same substances like when you´re in love, this will soften your pain.

After reading this you will know that falling in love isn't just a nice feeling. It´s a very mysterious and beautiful process, but the most important thing is that you enjoy it and just have a really good time.

Love, Annika
