5 UNDENIABLE SIGNS THAT HE LOVES YOU!

The Beginning
What you call love stems from lust and that is the truth. You look at someone and you lust for that person, that is your basic instinct as a human being and that is how your brain thinks. The fact as you must have seen is that different people have different experiences on love, but the chemistry working behind it is absolutely similar. All those feelings that you experience happen because of chemical changes in your brain and that is what love is all about.

Here we have something called dopamine which releases testosterone and affect she organs including the genitals and also the senses. This is also why you sweat more during the initial phases of love and lust. This is also why you feel like the sky is bluer and the world is moving in slow motion when you are around your love interest. Testosterone which gets released increases your sexual desire and that's the advent of lust.

Then you have the neurotransmitters and PEA (phenylethylamine) that leads to focused attention and this is how you start to pick on your love interest, this is when you begin to desire someone most and almost madly. This is also the reason why you cannot sleep at night as you are always alert, and also that you notice and remember the smallest details of your love interest. This is the phase of utmost love and longing, thanks to science! You feel like you are falling in love because you feel giddy and you cannot eat because you have lost your appetite.

The question, is love science, has only one definite answer and that it a yes.

The Reward System
Influenced by the central nervous system, the reward system sends chemical messages via neurotransmitters to all the various parts of the body and this includes the stomach, skin, gentials and other organs. Now these organs to send messages back to the brain, like for example if your genital likes teh stimulation then it will tell that to the brain and then the reward system would want to experience that feeling once again, again and again.

This reward system is influenced by the central nervous system and the contents of the bloodstream, such as the level of various neurotransmitters. The reward system sends chemical messages, via neurotransmitters, to various parts of the body, including the stomach, skin, genitals and other organs, which causes them to send messages back to the brain. If stimulation of the genitals feels good, for example, then the reward system receives this information and causes one to seek more of what was pleasurable.

Love is science, but after all it is love!
