Is falling in love a natural instinct humans have?

Or is it something we're conditioned into experiencing when certain factors meet?

Honestly honestly seems a thing to preserve the specie. Comes with natural attraction with how you feel with them like a strong trigger, in your brain. A mixture of how they make you feel and that need to preserve the specie.

@SW-User But that would suffice with procreating. Why love? Why that one feeling that you can possess for someone above all else?

@SW-User 1. First Comes as attraction. 2. Then. after that, because of our need to belong as humans (since we are newborns we need affection otherwise we don't survive)... as we grow up we become more independent, but we still want to love and feel loved after all, that's why we actually end up and falling in love, and it grows to something stronger depending on the circumstances.

But remember... the first atraction is a thing to preserve the specie, to be stronger with another person... to build a relationship.

So all in all, a mixture of physiological needs and instinct.

@SW-User Fair enough. :)
