addiction to love is very much like and addiction to drugs or alchol the only difference is that there are different kinds of hooks in additction to love, addiction to relationships etc. with these kinds of addictions you feel hooked on the experienceo f bonding with another person, along with romantic fantasies which definatley gets us going gives us hope for that hapily ever after which is not the reality of it all. When you experience these hooks there is a chemical changes going on in your brain, which you experience elation and a total euphoric experince imo that in itself can be very addictive and is the reason that alot of people get dumped becasue the other person at some point in the relationship begins to get bored when this feeling wheres off ( honey mooning) and they move onto the next just for that fleeting experinece, just like with drugs u chase the magic dragoon.
