Things I Don't Understand About Love


1.  Generally people fall for pretty girls and handsome boys. What if the person is not a good human? How long can we feel happy staring a beautiful face and dealing with a black heart? Days or years? What after that and was it even love in the first place?
2.  Is love a chemical process which carries out some reaction in our heart and after that it becomes impossible to separate the love bug from pumping of blood?
3.  Love is said to happen suddenly sometimes. Is it like starting of the ceiling fan when the switch is turned on? So when we meet "the guy/girl", the love switch automatically goes into ON state. Then it must be quite easy to turn it off as well I wonder.

4.  We do not fall in love everyday or with every guy/girl we meet. Love is a rare case. Calculating the average number of people a person knows, the probability of falling in love with one is pretty low. Carrying out the permutations and combinations, wouldn't it become a rarest of the rare case that the same person will fall in love with us?

5.  If love doesn't bring any tangible changes and it cannot be seen like body organs, it must be a software. If love gives sufferings then its code can be easily modified or uninstalled if required. Even re-installed in custom mode changing the name of the victim. I have a feeling that this is the way it is going to work with me at least.

6.  Love, the opposition will say, is something that does not happen to robots(as is implied by above points), but involves feelings and emotions. But then isn't inducing feelings too a strategy of the brain? How brain, being the practical part of body, can't change the course of feelings in case of rejections and heartbreaks?

7.  Once happened, love being hard to let go or forget is simply out of my understanding. Is it like having reached puberty that nothing can be done to change it.(From where am I getting such analogies!)

8.  In case of love at first sight, what if we fall for the exact opposite of the person we wanted as our partner? I mean if I hate liars, I hate liars. If a person is truthful or not is not written on the face. Then what if I fall head over heels for a handsome lying guy? And again this head-over-heels business is a lie, isn't it? Doesn't happen.

9.  Why being romantic is considered to be an inseparable part of love? There are people who talk day and night. There are others whose words can be counted on fingers. Then why not there can be a person in love but also unromantic at the same time. Or people who are grossed out by all this romantic stuff. Will that work? I hope it does.

10.  The biggest doubt which is killing me is- As a general gesture among couples, boys put their arms around their girlfriend's waist. Doesn't it tickle? Really! What if the girl is hyper ticklish and as a reflex action pushes her boyfriend and he falls over a bridge?!

  3. One gets infatuated with many who catch one's fancy including celebs like actors,sportsmen,artists and such like.Love is something that is slow to build and blossom if both are honest and compatible.There are cheats too masquerading as lovers as in my story 'Romance at the library'.There is nothing like genuine love where each cares more for the other than self.
    This post is hilarious and brought smile in the face.

    1. Yes KP, love must be a wonderful feeling but rare to find too. But the general trend these days, especially in schools and colleges, is a little misleading and hence confuses people like me. :) I read your story and it is a success if it makes the readers aware of cheats.
      Thanks for sharing your views.

    2. Nice post! I feel that at first sight you can be attracted to a person, but love takes time to develop. If you are lucky, the person you are attracted to turns out to be a person worth building a long term relationship with. Love takes time to develop and once developed, it never lasts.

  4. Hmm, this made me think. I think love is subjective to how people understand and differentiate between the words 'love', 'crush' and 'infatuation'. Most often, people get confused about their own feelings. An attraction might be mistaken for love and suddenly there's a bouquet of roses from an ugly guy at your doorstep. I think love depends on a series of determinants, of which good looks is one. Our instant attraction to a person is sparked by his/her looks, and then we proceed to analyze other determinants, like character, to finally determine if we are in love. And yes, it is rare, but not impossible. Human beings are social creatures, and we are all starved and depraved and desperate. We are biologically wired to fall in love at some stage.

    Anyhoo, these are just opinions and facts that you'll have to confirm yourself, and you'll know for sure when you experience love by yourself! But remember, at the end of the day, love is the hardest thing ever to figure out. But figuring love out is not essential for living- experiencing love is enough, and the figuring out part will happen eventually!

    1. Thank you for giving so much thought to my insane confusions. :P But I think the an ugly guy can love the same or even more than a handsome guy. Neither will the roses be redder in a good-looking guys hands. Looks must not be a determinant, that's what I think.
      The last line takes away all the anxiety. Great thought! :)
