9 weird psychological reasons why someone might fall in love with you
There's a lot we don't understand - and a lot that's idiosyncratic to individual people and couples.
That's why a lot of research into why we mate is bizarre to the point of incoherence - cultural norms as well as oddities in research methods can create a lot of noise.
Yet it turns out that there is a lot of science about why people fall in love that is at once super strange and actually fairly credible.
Keep in mind that no one study is enough to draw definite, broad conclusions. That's especially true because this research tends to focus on the specific behaviors of heterosexual undergraduate students at the universities where researchers work.
Still, there's a lot of fascinating knowledge out there about our habits of love and attraction.
