Attraction, Love
and Commitment
 “The best and most beautiful
things in this world cannot be
seen or even heard, but must be
felt with the heart.”

-Helen Keller
Every human being has his own way of
expressing his attraction, love and
commitment due to our different life
experiences. When attraction between two
persons is discussed, it is often understood
as based on physical appearance while this
might be true to a certain extent but there
is more to attraction that we already know.
Adolescence is the stage when many personal
relationships such as the so-called romantic
relationship are usually formed.

Romantic relationships are the core of the

social life of many adolescents from middle to
late adolescents.
 Helen Fisher
In biological model of love, Love can start
with any of these three feelings: lust,
attraction and attachment depending on the

 Physical Attractiveness

It is one of the primary

determinants of romantic
attraction. Most people prefer
whom they consider
physically attractive
especially in the early stages
of dating.
 Proximity
People tend to get attracted to people
who are geographically closer to
them. They are more likely to
develop feelings of mutual familiarity
with the people who live close to us
and increased level of comfort when
there is regular contact and no prior
negative feelings.
 Similarity
People pick partners who we have
similarities with such as social class,
background, religious belief, age and
education. The more attitudes and
opinions two people share, especially
when they are similar, the more they will
want to do the same activities, and would
create a strong bond between them.
 Reciprocity
People like others who like them back.
People feel indebted when someone
does something good for them and tend
to reciprocate the action. The more we
are liked by someone they equally like,
the more we behave in ways that
promote mutual feelings of liking.
 Attachment
-is a deep and enduring
emotional bond that
connects one person to
another across time and
space.
