There are many sayings about love. Some say that love is blind; others say that love exists when there is chemistry between two people. The latter is truer than you think.

Love is chemistry? Yes it is.
When two people fall in love, certain biological processes happen that releases different chemicals from the brain. These chemicals influence the physical changes when you are with someone you like.
This article lists the key “love chemicals.” Some of them are:
• Phenylethylamine or PEA. This chemical, which is a stimulant similar to amphetamine, causes the release of norepinephrine and dopamine, and is the main chemical responsible for your rapturous “falling head-over-heels” feeling.

• Norepinephrine. This chemical is responsible for your sweaty palms and the increased heart rate you feel whenever you are close to someone you like or love.
• Dopamine. This neurochemical is responsible for mate selection. A study involving prairie voles showed that females injected with dopamine, while in the presence of a male, chose the same exact male prairie vole from a group of mice later on.
• Oxytocin. This chemical is released whenever two people touch each other and plays a role in orgasm, pair bonding, and maternal behavior.

• Testosterone. This chemical is responsible for sexual attraction and raw lust, and can be produced by both males and females.
Although the feeling of love can be explained by science, there is no doubt that many people would still agree that this emotion is truly indescribable.
