Head over heels.

What made you fall head over heels?

She's the most wonderful, gorgeous, brilliant person in the world, and I can talk for hours about Chaucer, and Trebuchets, and Science Fiction. I don't know if there really is a way to separate out the things that make me fall head over heels for her, it's just so ingrained in all the things that she is.

I think that the fact that we are so head over heels really helped us through the rough times, because I for one would never want to lose Liz, she's too wonderful and perfect and everything. I don't think I would have ever done in as well in a relationship with someone I was totally bonkers over.

Both. I'm head over heels, but our relationship did evolve out of a friendship (we started talking on CF last year, first in PM, then it went to IM, then it went to the phone, etc) ... so I would say that it also took time. We started talking about a relationship in March and made things official when he came here to visit in August.

The communication, compatibility, and chemistry.

I'm not sure how to put that into words. However, people who know me can tell I am head over heels and here's why: in spite of the fact that I am an agoraphobic, I will be getting on an airplane (alone!) on one of the busiest travel days of the year so that I can go to see him.

I didn't even know we were really getting into a relationship at first, we met online, we arranged to meet in person, and it all happened so fast It started out with intentions of friendship from my side of things anyway, that's all I really expected, but I quickly fell head over heels.

Maycontainnuts had it dead on: communication, compatibility, and chemistry.

The longer answer for me though is that nothing "made" it happen, it's sort of strange to think about it in that regard. Falling for someone just... happens It's like asking why I love him, I can't really answer because the answer is truly a very personal and complex answer.

In general, he was simply perfect for me. I was attracted to him physically and mentally (which is so important to me because most of the people I've met that were mentally compatible with me have been unattractive to me, and everyone attractive has had the personality of a doorknob It can't be one or the other as far as I'm concerned, it has to be both), we had many a common interest but also he compliments me in so many areas that he has but I do not and vice versa (ie: we're not the same in those areas, but we work well together because of the differences).

To me, "falling head over heels" either happens, or it doesn't, nothing really makes or breaks it. It exists, or it doesn't.

Passion. The "falling head over heels" idea equates to passion in my mind, not necessarily physical passion don't get me wrong here, I'm talking about... enthusiasm I guess is the correct word for it Pure enthusiasm and passion and adoration for the relationship and for the person I'm with in all possible ways. The amazing feeling of knowing you would do absolutely, positively anything for that person in your life, and knowing they would do the same for you.

Kind of both. We were friends 2 years before we got in a relationship, but we lost contact for one of those years. When we got back into contact, there were immediate sparks and immediate attraction. And the more we talked, the more intense those sparks and that attraction got lol.

Everything about him. His gorgeousness, his sense of humor, his honesty, the way he says something sweet without even knowing, the sincere care he has for everybody close to him and the way he goes out of the way to help them. How amazingly compatable we are....We can talk for hours and hours and have really awesome conversations about science and animals and animals that may or may not exist. The way our personalities work together perfectly.....Similar in ways that are important, but opposite in others so we compliment each other. The passions we share. My gosh I could go on and on!

I'm with what Morning Glory said....Passion, enthusiasm and adoration for the relationship. The amazingness I see in our relationship every minute of the day. How positive the future seems now, looking forward for spending the rest of our life together but at the same time, cherishing and enjoying every moment hoping the "rest of our life" doesn't go by too quickly.
