When you think back on it, what makes you “fall in love” or feel “in love”?
I was asked this question in another thread.
I thought it was a great question to ask to everyone else!
I’ll go first.
I’m Grid. If you recognize this username, you know I love to pedantically analyze “the why” and “the how,” so the below might seem “clinical” to some.
When I assess who I’ve felt “in love with” the following three bullets were absolutely satisfied:
- respect: In some way shape or form I regard and admire them. Whether it’s admiring the way they behave, the way they move, the way they think, their competencies, etc.
- comfort: They feel like my best friend almost, we get along and want to hang out and do things together, I’m at peace with them, I trust them, I can feel vulnerable with them, etc.
- lust: I want to f*ck them. They arouse me. I feel desired by them and desire them.
Sabrina Claudio famously wrote in her song “Stand Still”:
I want trust too
I want lust too
I want love too
I want this too
I want us too
I’m wanting you
And that 19-year-old sage wasn’t wrong!
What makes you feel in “🥰🥰🥰” about a romantic partner?
