How Men Fall in Love

The attraction

Let's admit: the first thing that attracts a man to every woman is a feeling of physical attraction. But other factors such as the personality, intelligence or sense of humor are often more important than they seem at the first sight to determine if a relationship will develop between two people. But this initial phase, the first step that a man makes to love, is based on a feeling of passionate attraction towards a certain woman.

The seduction

The next step a man does when he falls in love is to seduce the woman. This phase is different from the dating phase, because it is a longer process. The seduction of a woman can last anywhere between several days and several years, according to the man. While he tries to impress her, he feels an intense attraction to the woman, both emotionally and physically. This phase is commonly known as 'to be in love', but for any man this stage is just the beginning of romantic love in the true sense of the word. The true test of loves comes after the 'honeymoon' of the seduction phase that ended.

The long-term attachment

At this point the true feelings of a man for his partner solidify into a feeling of love that lasts for years. After the seduction phase ends, there can appear a decline in physical attraction between the two, and there will take place inevitable clashes of their personalities due to the long time spent together. If, despite these things, the romantic feelings of the man continue to grow and evolve, it means that he really loves the woman next to him. The love that develops during this stage represents the foundation of a long term relationship and leads to a lasting happiness for the couple.
