Falling in LOVE

"Falling in love" is a mainly Western term used to describe the process of moving from a feeling of neutrality towards someone to one of love. The usage of the term "fall" implies many things: that the process may have been in some way inevitable or uncontrollable, risky or putting the lover in a state of vulnerability, that the process is irreversible, or all of these things. The term is generally used to describe an (eventual) love that is strong, although not necessarily permanent. -Wikipedia


The feeling that they say no one can resist. What do you really feel when you say you're falling in love? Is it something that crawls in your veins? Is it something that makes you shiver? Is it something that makes your heart beats faster? Is it something that makes your eyes shimmer, and makes you smile naively? Or is it just a feeling that you recognize because of the attraction that you have towards a person? Falling in love comes in different ways. Sometimes you fall for that person because he/she cares so much about you or you simply just fall for him/her because of ignoring you. You may completely fall because of the cute smile or the pretty face. But no matter what you feel or what reason lies behind, you just can't help ignoring it.

However, we have different reactions on the feeling of "falling". Some people get too excited, some get scared, some just don't mind about it and happily accepts the fact that they're falling in love. Why do these reactions vary? Plainly because each of us have different perception when it comes to love and the act of getting into it just happen to make us go crazy. But do you know that there are only two important characteristics that makes a person fall in love? Intelligence and kindness. These two factors are the things that we discover in people when we get to know them well. Intelligence is important in all aspects in life and kindness is extremely the factor in a long term relationship. Attractiveness doesn't connect in these two things. It's true that the more attractive the person is, the more romantic relationships that person gets, but it doesn't help a lot. Even the less attractive people can have a long and romantic relationship. We also fall for someone that we feel is also attracted to us. This kind of mutual understanding between two people nurture more the feeling of falling in love. We take this as an opportunity and when we perceive this, we feel the surge of exhilaration.

Falling in love may be hard to ignore but that doesn't mean that it will not fade. You may feel falling in love but this may change depending on what you will find out more of that person. Sometimes you only get attracted on some of the characteristics that gets to be noticed easily. But no matter how long, how fast, or how often you fall in love, bottom line is we all get to experience this, and it's one thing that we can't escape or avoid.
