I'm in my young adulthood but I still cannot think of why people fall in love with each other or get married. I know there are NT kids who date with each other since primary school but t's just like a mystery forever to me. I even couldn't understand why everyone needs a friend to stick with until 16. And now I can't tell the difference between friendship and love between couples. And now there are also homosexual love. I'm just getting increasingly confused. Is it just me or it's common among Aspies?

let's put it this way, if people didn't love each other then there would be no babies and if theres no babies we would all be extinct.

I heard women say to me, they married, then fell in love and then got themselves a baby.

Well a friend can also be a "special someone". Is that means love = friendship + sex?

Because people brains creates lucky-hormones, when having positive experiences during the contact with another person, so the instinctive part of the brain simply recognizes "spending time with person xyz = benefit for me" and so pushes you to have contact with person xyz again.

Or simply: Because it makes people happier.

Dont bother yourself if you dont have similar feelings. If contact with a person doesnt benefit you, then it doesnt benefit you, and if it will benefit you, then it will benefit you.

No reason to push yourself to do something, if you dont feel a benefit from doing so.

Falling in love is not something you can help or avoid

Humans and Country Music Stars alike have tried to find a way, though.

You don't need love to make babies, you need sex.

I think a lot of it is the world tells us we should and that is what happiness is and a bit of routine. Once you get used to someone you just want to keep constantly interacting with them. So then the emotional people create some crazy abstract idea then spread it around.

My sister got married, but I'm not sure I want to, personally, because it's not as cracked up to be, as a few of my family members have told me. Maybe I should stay single, but at the same time, part of me wants a woman in my life....... what's a guy to do?

You know what? When I look back on my little life and the birds I've known, and think of all the things they've done for me and the little I've done for them, you'd think I've had the best of it along the line. But what have I got out of it? I've got a bob or two, some decent clothes, a car, I've got me health back and I ain't attached. But I ain't got me peace of mind - and if you ain't got that, you ain't got nothing. I dunno. It seems to me if they ain't got you one way they've got you another. So what's the answer? That's what I keep asking myself - what's it all about? Know what I mean?
