How do girls fall in love? (female point of view)

At first it looks like a really stupid question, but I've always wanted to know how the opposite sex falls in love. Basically im asking how it happens, is it just a moment that leads to feelings (the "love is blind" thingie that just happens) or is it constantly considering facts, personality, looks and choosing your partner more "logically" or even "statistically"? I know that most likely you will have all kinds of experiences but how does it happen most of the time? So there you go girls, enlighten me. Of course I dont mind if guys have something to add, but the female view is what interests me more.

EDIT: I didnt think I'd have to say this since its obvious but what I'm asking for is the individual experience, its pretty much obvious that everyone views love differently and that a few girls cant speak on behalf of the whole female population...

Nature give women a sense of emotical bonding.. they can sense that the person in the first few mins is compatible and worthy to mate and pass genes with. Now that feeling is purely sexual since we evoled from lower life forms.

Nigga are you retarded

I'd like you to have an intelligence being worthy of a human being so please since I'm actually interested to know about this more specifically either post something useful or GTFO of my thread. Who the fuck are you anyway?

Come on man I was just kidding.

To be relevant to the topic, I think each and every person (male or female) has their own criteria for a partner and definition of "love".

To just ask about "girls" wouldn't yield anything reliable from a general standpoint.

Surely everyone has their own and especially because of that i want to know some individual perspectives and what those people tend to do the most, it gives me an insight on the topic and some of the various possibilities that can occur.

I love da pussy! but in all seriousness this is quite interesting, Why girls have liked me is because they feel sorry for me :(

I'd say that the differences between sexes are lesser than differences between individuals. I doubt anyone can speak on behalf of all girls or women. But I guess that's a bit irrelevant.

Meh, I don't think I've ever felt anything that would qualify as love, and probably never will. I'm too self-absorbed for that, and not even sorry. Love = drama. Drama = bad.

On the other hand I could define love, in a less romantic way, as a conscious commitment. In that case it woud be mainly about weighing positive and negative traits. I wouldn't call it 100% logical process, cause there are issues related that can't be fully rationalized, such as subconscious feeling if you can trust someone or not.

Right now I'm not actively looking for a relationship but once I do, I'll probably try my luck with dating sites. That way I can get the basic information without questioning, and hopefully find some socially awkward, calm and trustworthy nerd who doesn't have too high standards about looks. =P

Actually, that's just nurtured more into females. It's not something anyone is born with.

For me it depends on the couple.
How they meet and on in what setting the relationship begins.

I have my own theories that people can love/live with anyone, as long as they satisfy your general needs of someone who is loyal, honest, committed, blah blah blah. (and are not annoying) The 'having chemistry' part is a little tricky

Personally, I can say I've honestly been in love twice. 1st- school friend it took me years to admit it was love. 2nd- guy from college whom I was in love with within a month. Sadly neither love lasted T_T

When I think of guys I have liked.. none of then have much in common that I can say I have a 'type'.
But as an ex once told me. "I don't know what I want, only what I don't want"
That being said, idk if I prescribe to a 'love at first sight' notion. Lust at first sight, yes.... the rest shall be decided after dude opens his mouth

I painted my ex a picture of her and she fell in love with me.

Now I learned a good lesson and that is don't give her paintings to much or else she will naturally take them for granted and tell you to get a real job.

Impressive! Was she naked? XD

lol. no. I have one nude painting of her I never finished yet.

I would like to meet the guy in a place I frequent, like a super market, bookstore, school, or my favorite restaurant. He would have to approach me, becuase I am shy. For me to fall in love I would prefer a guy who is: trustworthy, kind, open-minded, moderately attractive, has a good moral compass, assertive, and is not afraid to hold my hand in public.

If I were female I'd probably go for something like that too, but now there is a problem what you consider as being "kind". A lot of people these days label a person kind just because that person kisses up to them or always backs down and does as they wish.

I dont usually fall in love at the first sight. Firstly I dont believe that one can truly love a person who she has know for only few hours at best. And secondly I dont even get a crush on someone after only knowing him for that short time.

For me falling in love takes time. First I get to know the guy and after I start knowing him better thats when I start liking him (if he's to my liking) and I get to that part when I get butterflies in my stomach when he's around (this isnt love yet, its just a crush) and then I just start liking him more and more. And this is where most of my crushes have stopped. I'm just too shy + before my bf I didnt even think about getting a bf, I was completely happy with the way things were.

With my bf who I have been together with for 7 years and 1, 2 or 3 weeks now things started a bit differently tho. We met online on irc, so the "getting to know him" part happened online and when I met him I already had a crush on him. The first time we met, the only thing we did was walk and get some coffee, but the next time we met (and spend together the whole weekend), some handholding, kissing and boobie touching happened and since then we've been together and slowly the crush started to change into love.

Its really hard for me to tell when I really started loving him. But now I know I love him because I trust him, I know he would never cheat on me, I can tell him anything, we dont judge each other, even after 7 years I miss his company when he's not around and most importantly I can be me when I'm with him. Nobody really knows it, but I'm quite an unique person on some aspects. But I'm not like that when there's other people than my bf around (I may seem like a very boring person irl, because I stay inside my shell and dont let the real me out). And after I moved away from my parents, I really dont feel comfortable enough with them either anymore to let me be myself. So in the whole world my bf is the only person who feels comfortable enough for me to be myself. I dont have to feel embarrassed if I do/say some really stupid things. We can talk about farting, vomiting, pooping or anything to the finest detail and we dont get that "omg, why in the hell did I say something so stupid, thats soooo embarrassing" feeling.
Like the kind of love you hear old people talk about. Old people probably just love each other even more than we do because they've spent so long time together. But I believe we have that kind of love, just mixed with lust and young bodies that need sex :D

Part of this is off-topic'ish, I know :< It just happens to me all the time and when I start writing, I cant stop D:[/h]

T^T you're a good girl! There is only a handful of people like you in this world who actually take things seriously and treat it with respect and care. *Applauds*

I don't want him to kiss up to me or back down. I want an equal or partner. I guess a better word for kind would be considerate. He would consider my feelings and be respectful. A general example would be not beating me. ;D

Lol, I doubt that anyone here would fall in love for a guy that beats them (unless of course someone has a thing for masochism). But I get your point.
