Maybe because, we are jumping to an impulse and giving-in to physical attractions, instead of focusing what really matters most: the person's character and attitude.
 
 
Maybe because, what matters to us is how attractively good they look and how people will see us with them. That person's assets will enhance our image and will surely place us in a position where many will envious of. In opposed to people laughing at us. 
 
Why do we like someone? Is it because they readily gives us chocolates or attentions? Or is it, they makes us laugh,  encourages us,  empathizes with our frustrations and disappointments and gives us the moral support we can’t get from our family and friends?
 
 
Maybe because, we don’t want to be alone, we’re afraid to be on our own. We’re scared that society will perceive us a freak or a weirdo if we don’t have a companion. Or maybe, just plain envious of pairs and couples we meet in the streets, in our office and even in our own neighborhood.
 
 
Maybe because, we’re living in a fantasy world with false hopes that love conquers all or that we can change an individual into a better person. It could be out of pity, because we think that person needs us even if he/she’s not asking for us to feel concern for their welfare. 
 
 
Why do we fall for someone? Or do we really fall? Or maybe, it’s just sheer stupidity in the first place. Imagining things that weren’t there all along.
 
Is it maybe because, we want to be fair that’s why we give the person a chance to prove his/her worth?  Without pondering first on what is the real intention of that person. Is he/she sincere? Honest or merely fooling around and taking us for a ride to satisfy an ego trip? 
 
 
Sometimes it’s not really the person’s fault but it’s our fault. We already saw the signs. The warnings that a relationship with this person is just waste of time and yet we stubbornly cling on. Thinking he/she might change or can change him/her into a better person. When in fact, changes start from within, within us and not because of somebody or for somebody else.
 
 
Could it also be, its not the person who we fell in love with who has the problem but us, who fell in-love with the person who may not even aware of it. Who’s probably already attached to somebody else and don’t want to accept the fact; that perhaps he/she’s already engaged or married. Moreover, fell in love with a person who would never see us more than a friend or acquaintance even if you’re the only last two beings left on the face of the earth.
 
 
Yet, we still fall for the wrong person. Perhaps, it’s the thrill and the excitement or anticipation of something we may never have or may have but in the process will only hurt us. The challenge of getting the person we think right for us or meant for us but never been in the first place.

Now, do you want to still fall in love with the wrong person? *****
