I recently wrote an article for xoNecole.com called 10 WEIRD Reasons People Fall in Love that You Never Knew which included a list of unsuspecting factors that contribute to people falling in love. Some of these answers included the weather, sex, and asking the right questions. For this post, I asked 50 women to use just ONE word to describe what makes us fall in love and this is what they told me.

Loyalty – Daniela, 50

Honesty – Latisha, 40

Chemistry – Denay, 33

Faith – Chaffron, 33

When pressed on how loyalty is measured or what makes a person loyal, Royal responded “Their actions towards you. Do they keep their word? Are they trustworthy with your emotional, physical, mental, and financial assets? Are they doing things to keep the bond shared Secure or the opposite. It’s all about their actions.”
