10 Crazy Things That Happen When You’re Falling In Love    by wenson(m): 6:30pm On Jan 02, 2015
We sing about it, write about it and watch
movies about it, but when you think about it,
falling in love is crazy and maybe even weird.
It makes us feel and do things we usually
wouldn’t under any other circumstances.
First of all, it physically affects our hormones
and brain. In fact, scientists have shown that
love affects the brain in a way similar to
cocaine addiction. Not only that, it also
affects us psychologically and behaviorally.
Here are 10 crazy, weird symptoms you may
experience when falling in love:
1. Your hormones go wild.
When you fall in love, your cheeks flush, your
heart beats faster, your palms are sweaty and
your head starts spinning. This is all thanks
to a rush of chemicals and hormones that
flood your brain and body when you fall in
love.
This leaves you with feelings of euphoria
similar to an endorphin-induced “runner’s
high.”
There’s nothing you can do about this; love
physically makes you crazy.
2. You wake up and go to sleep thinking of
someone other than yourself.
From the moment you wake up in the morning
to the moment you go to sleep at night, the
person you love occupies at least some part of
your mind. How does your brain even know to
think of that person first thing in the morning?
Doesn’t it have other more important things
to worry about?
The truth is this phenomenon is usually
subconscious and automatic, almost like your
mind is programmed to do so. Even
throughout the day, that person stays
staunchly in the back of your mind.
As crazy as it may be, it is nice to think of
someone beside you every once in a while.
3. You smile when you’re alone.
We’ve all seen them: the smile texters. Smile
texting is the perfect example of what happens
when you’re falling in love. You experience
weird, giddy feelings of happiness, even when
you’re not physically with that special person.
You might smile when he or she texts you,
when you hear a certain song, see a picture on
Facebook or when you just think of that
person.
In general, little things like that will make you
smile more than usual because you are just so
blissfully in love (and because of all those
happy hormones flowing through your
bloodstream).
People may look at you funny and wonder why
you’re so happy, but you don’t even mind.
4. You become a little obsessive.
I wonder what she’s doing right now. I
wonder if she’s watching the game. She
loves football, which is cool for a girl. But
I forget what her favorite team is … I need
to ask again. Or maybe I should ask now.
I’ll mention it if she texts me later.
Oh look, a bag of chips. She loves chips.
But only the BBQ kind.
People in love, love to think about each other.
They somehow manage to relate even the
smallest things to the person they love. If
your life is the universe, then chances are,
your love is the sun, and everything revolves
around that.
5. You do embarrassing things.
Ever heard those sappy stories of boys in the
olden days throwing rocks at a girl’s window,
and playing her songs on their guitar? That
was then, but today, there are videos all over
YouTube of men proposing to their fiancés
with elaborate flash mobs that take place in
front of hundreds of people.
Love will make you do embarrassing things
because when you’re falling in love with
someone, you will do almost anything to make
him or her happy, no matter what other people
may think.
6. You do things outside of your comfort
zone.
Along the same lines, falling in love will make
you do things you never even considered doing
before. Boys, that may mean taking a yoga
class or going to get a pedicure with your
girlfriend (they feel really good, it’s okay to
admit it).
Girls, that may mean watching “SportsCenter”
for two hours or playing a couple games of
FIFA. Of course, doing these things can open
your mind to new activities you might enjoy.
Doing them with the one you love is a great
bonding experience, too.
7. You suddenly care more about your
appearance.
Before, you may have rolled out of bed and
thrown on some athletic shorts and a t-shirt,
but you now have a reason to try to look
good.
You might comb your hair more often, double
check to make sure you didn’t forget
deodorant, shave more meticulously and go to
the gym, instead of falling asleep on your
couch after work.
8. You sing.
When you’re falling in love, you feel so happy
and carefree, you can’t always keep it inside.
Whether you sound like William Hung or
Ariana Grande, sometimes, you just have to
sing at the top of your lungs to let it all out.
9. You go out of your way.
You may find yourself driving out of the way
to pick up your love’s favorite dinner, or
calling in sick to work just to hang out with
him or her.
The crazy part is that even though these
things may inconvenience you, you’re happy
and excited to do them. You actually take joy
in making that extra effort to please your SO
and show him or her how much you care.
10. You go blind.
As the old adage goes, love is blind. When
you’re falling in love, everything your love
does and says is interesting and amazing.
Every word uttered from his or her mouth, and
every move he or she makes, is magical.
Love blinds you to faults and screwups, and
even when you do notice them, you’re quick to
forgive because your love can do no wrong. As
it turns out, Ke$ha might be right about this
one: Love is a drug.
It makes us crazy, but it also makes us
happy. Love is exciting; it’s addicting, it’s
confusing and it’s weird.
So, cheers to love: both our worst nightmare
and our best friend.

Though I agree that the thought of a loved one is almost constantly on ones mind but those attributes are basically associated with one who has developed some romantic feelings for another.

We can hardly tag that to be love.
