Laws of Attraction: Just Why Did You Fall in Love?

What attracts us to our loved ones? What holds you to the one you love? Attraction is a complicated issue and each one of us have their own reason for falling into and out of love, we have our own laws of attraction, laws that defy reason at times. Just what is it that got you hooked?

Perhaps you are married, perhaps not; you may be in a relationship or just out of it. Somewhere along the road we fall in love but never know the reason why, we never think about it. And even when we break up, the reasons may not be clear to us, and we find ourselves longing for the good old days.

Just why did you fall in love? What attracted you to him or her, why did you choose him and not the other one? Why did you choose to be with her and not the hot girl across your office block? This is one question we never bother to answer for like I have said before, sometimes love just happens.

But is it always so? Is it always a case of chance or are there some laws, some factors that determine attraction between different people? Do like poles always attract or do they repel when it comes to relationships? Who attracts who and what attracts what? Think about it. Here are some reasons why you might have fallen in love with him or her.

  1. Honesty – Perhaps he or she is honest unlike anyone else you had met before. So many had lied and cheated on you but he or she came across as different. Could it be the reason? Perhaps, and again, perhaps not.
  2. Looks – Come on, some faces are just unforgettable and you can’t ignore the fact that her eyes were rather magnetic or the idea of resting on his broad shoulders drove you crazy. Could it be her smile, his height, that physique?
  3. Money – I know you can’t admit it, but come to think about it. Would you have married him or her if he was as poor as a church mouse? You know what I mean. Love does not put food on the table, or does it?
  4. Voice – Believe it or not, a lot more people fall in love with nothing but the voice of another. Can you imagine a radio DJ snatching away your girlfriend or boyfriend? It happens!
  5. Humility – Maybe it is just his or her nature, he is too good to harm a fly, or she is too naïve to want to cheat on you with another. Not everyone is that humble and you appreciated it.
  6. Ambition – We all love achievers, people who want to better their lives, people who do everything to rise above every obstacle, every challenge, and every little failure, don’t we just love such?
  7. Everything – Could it be that you were attracted by everything, looks, character, money etc. It might be rare to find all the good qualities in one man or woman but sometimes it happens that the man we love or the woman we are attracted to has it all!

Just what is it that got you hooked?

    Very truly said Jimmy. Don’t have enough words to appreciate you. Excellent compilation. Honesty and humility are the best initial attractors :)

    Love is blind. When I look back to the man I loved the most so far, I don’t know why. Interesting topic. Nice share.

    For me it was love at first sight. Looks, voice, chemistry and a combination of other factors. (my honeybear) lol

    Good points to think about, I don´t exactly know what it is and I think I never will…but if I have to choose one thing from your list…it would certainly be “everything”…

    As always… great article, but you have done better :) Please no offense, it is just my opinion ;)

    right feel, right timing…
    instead of choosing “everything”, I will say “can be anything”…
    haha, very interesting discussion, I will come back and see what others say.

    Hard to compile a list…. a lot of things that when combined make me feel respected, valued and special. AND a big plus is someone who can make me laugh. :)

    I fell in love with his beautiful, different South African accent. At least that was what attracted me, although he has many other good qualities.

    Interesting article. I would certainly chose the last one. Everything mentioned. Well, except the money, that I do not care for.

    On November 11, 2010 I will have been married 15 years. I first fell in love with my husband because when we would walk in to a place he always out his hand on my back. I don’t know if he was afraid of losing me. I also love him because he became the man of the family. He wanted to pay for my dad;s funeral, but neither me or my mom would not let him. He bought my mom a laptop.
