What Makes A Man Fall In Love
What makes men fall in love and stay in love is my jam. I’m obsessed. Seriously. I’ve spent the last 16 years researching the topic and asked thousands of guys what sparked it for them.
Sometimes their answers are obvious, but my favorites are the ones that leave me picking my jaw up off the floor, like when one man said, "When we had sex in a moving vehicle that neither of us was driving."
Or the time another said, "I fell in love with my wife on our third date. We were making out at a lookout point, and eventually, she had to pee. She said, ‘It’s okay, I’ll go in the bushes,’ and she did! There was no bathroom to find or problem to solve, and we didn’t even have to leave the lookout point. I kinda loved her at that moment."
When it comes to what makes men fall in love, as you would expect, sex often makes the top of the list (duh), but that’s not just a dude thing — that happens for us, too.
Cooking usually ranks much lower than we might expect, although, for the men who value culinary skills, it’s not a want so much as it is a need. ("How do you boil water again, honey?")
How men fall in love and what makes them fall is often comprised of things we would never consider prioritizing if we ever thought of them.
Here are three (somewhat weird) things that make men fall, and stay, in love.

They will leave, and when they do, they usually say something like, "You deserve to be with someone who can make you happy."
Our happiness is a generous gift we can give if we’re feeling moved to express it. Read More…
