Is it really the Heart who falls in Love?

I've once heard from one of the dramas I've watched that the mind is the one who makes you feel the love not the heart, so I searched if it's true. After searching it, I've found out that scientifically speaking it really is the mind who falls in love first but the heart is still related. I am just amazed by this. All this time, I thought that the heart is the one that falls in love. Source: reflectionofmind.org

Me too. Now I'm confused too if it's really true that your heart has different decisions to your mind.

In it’s literal sense no. Remember we have a mind to choose whether we will love the person or not. The heart only beats for us to provide us the blood we need. Hahaha I hope am making sense.

That's true! All this time I believed that heart is the one who's falling for someone. Now I've found out that mind falls first but the heart is still related.

When people say the heart (referring to love) they don't literally mean the heart. Of course it's the mind. It's just a romantic way of saying you have such a strong feeling towards someone that it flows through your veins like blood giving you life.

@mnglsp what if love was the side effect of a brain virus called "Cupid?"

That's right. Still, literally saying the heart's job is just to pump blood. The mind is the one who makes us think that we're inlove.

So what causes the mind to fall in love first, the heart is just a vessel so it doesn't have feelings so everything has to do with the mind. right

It said that activation in some parts of the brain can generate stimulations to the heart, butterflies in the stomach.

It has to be the mind first, then when the heart falls in love its real.

I think the mind is the master planner and reactor to all emotions, it is the brain that receives the information and sends it to other parts of the body, I think they use the heart more as a metaphor since it is a core organ that also makes the body function with its amazing ability to pump blood throughout the whole body. But it is always the mind or brain that emits all those emotions everywhere in the body and reflects with butterflies in the stomach, sweaty or shaky hands, fast heart rhythm etc. This is just my opinion according to my logic, I could be wrong but it's awesome to know!

Thank you for sharing your opinion. You're right! Mind controls everything in our whole being.

Heart is just a machine for pumping blood. It can't think or love. However, all of us believe that heart is doing all these. So when there is bad new our 'heart is aching'.

You are right, mind makes you think and feel and heart only pumps the blood harder when you get excited.

The only function of the heart is to pump out blood so we can move around .. The mind dictates our feelings .. And when we feel, the heart pumps faster that's why people thought that it's the heart that falls in love ..

It's just an illusion. Mind does all the trick. No involvement of heart while falling in love. Heart just feels reaction because of the thoughts perceived by mind. Brain plays important role in love.

I agree, it's the mind that falls in love. The heart really has no feeling, but the mind has emotions and can think. I think, therefore I am.
