ATTRACTION is one of the 3 STAGES OF LOVE as according to Helen Fisher of Rutgers University. This particular stage is driven by different hormones and chemicals...
Scientists think that three main neurotransmitters are involved in this stage; adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin.
Adrenaline
Falling for someone activates your stress response, increasing your blood levels of adrenaline and cortisol. This is the very reason why despite silly things happening, the "charming" effect kicks in.
Dopamine
Helen Fisher asked newly ‘love struck’ couples to have their brains examined and discovered they have high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This chemical stimulates ‘desire and reward’ by triggering an intense rush of pleasure. In fact, it has the same effect on the brain as taking cocaine!
Serotonin
One of love's most important chemicals is Serotonin. This explains why when you are falling in love, he or she keeps popping in your thoughts.
Love is like chemistry in Science. Haaa
