why do we say  "i love you from the bottom of my hear!t", when our feelings are coming from the hypothalamus?

It sounds more special when you say, "I love you from the bottom of my heart.."  Because heart signifies life and it is just like saying, "You're my life.."  I don't know but that's what I think. :)

It's from endorphins. The sudden build up of pressure (and there's a heck of a lot of pressure!) causes a release of endorphins from the brain.

The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone. \n\nLove is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.\n\nThis love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.\n\nIt's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.\n\nLove can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.

The hypothalamus in the brain controls the pituitary gland, which releases hormones that often affect the release of other hormones by other endocrine glands. \n\nMost of the time, however, it's a direct response to the conditions in the body and environment. For instance, when your brain preceives that you are in danger, you get the fight-or-flight response. Your adrenal glands release epinephrine, aka adrenaline, which speeds up your heart rate and gets you ready for action.

when your brain senses something "emotional" it releases seratonin, which work with your endorphines in triggering emotional reactions....sometimes there is so much seratonin in your system that your endorphines are overloaded and this comes out in an outburst of emotion

we "click"...\n\nWe laugh, we enjoy each others company, we have the same dreams, we WANT to be together... we both feel "tingles"...\n\n(you just KNOW when you are in love...)

I would have thought that it was a way of saying:\n\nI love you (chest) - in that Peace kind of love\nI will only speak well of you (mouth)\nI will only think well of you (forehead)\n\nDon't know for sure, but that is what I imagine.

The hypothalamus is a single structure deep in the brain and it does not come in pairs. It is however, relatively bilaterally symmetrical around the midline and the third ventricle. Are you sure that the NINDS said it came in a pair or that there are certain anatomic structures that are present in pairs within it? The third ventricle separates the two thalami but it is also still considered a unitary structure.

Hmm.  Aside from learning what we've seen our parents and other adults do, I'll think about it as if it's the *first time.*   :-)\n\nI'd say it's just a natural desire to be as close as possible to the object of our affection.  We look each other in the eye probably more than any other part of the body when we're in love.  We move closer together... we embrace... hey, our lips (and noses) are touching.  It kinda feels nice... we keep doing it.  \n\nOur lips are very sensitive to touch.  And hey, there's the other aspect of our mouths: we *eat* things that look good!  I'm not speaking sexually, but sensually.  A baby is always putting things that fascinate him/her in her mouth.  Along with sight and sound, it's one of the primary ways we sense our world, and the people in it.  \n\nAnd maybe our distant ancestors sort of "tasted" their way around more than we do.  \n\nOr maybe we just (again, since we were embracing, already) wanted to get -- and give -- more sensation.  Lips are soft and pleasant to rub or have rubbed against you!  \n\n:-)\n\nFrom a more modern, slightly more "conscious" perspective, I think a kiss shows all of the sensuality above, and is your way of telling your loved one that they are allowed to be as close to you as possible (without going further, here).  It's saying, I trust you touching me and tasting me and smelling me, and in the awkward/exciting prior seconds, looking me very closely in the eye -- seeing how much I love you!

Instincts can be associated with feelings, but instincts and feelings are always associated with the brain.  \n\nInstincts always associated with our brains unlike reflexes.  Reflexes sometimes only enter and then immediately leave our spinal cord (like stepping on a tack or being burned by a candle).\n\nThe instinctual part of our brain is called the limbic system.  It is known as the "oldest" part of our brain.  It is called this because evolutionarily, it was the first part of the brain to form.  Reptiles mainly only have a limbic system and almost every reaction is based on instincts, rather than conscious interpretation.  It is the limbic system that tells prey to run away and predators to attack.  It tells rattlesnakes to strike and frogs to jump away.  Instincts are "unconcious" meaning we don't always know why we do what we do, but they are not always associated with a feeling.  Instincts are completely separate from feelings, though certain feelings will trigger instinctual actions, while certain stimuli will elicit feelings we are not aware of the reason for.\nFor example:  The smell of a female dog in heat will instinctually cause a male dog to become aroused.  The smell produced an instinctual action and possibly a "feeling" as well.

Because the feeling of being in love and knowing that you are loved in return releases endorphins a natural chemical into the brain and gives you a high with out using drugs. Be well and God Bless.

When you have an orgasm, the brain releases endorphins that uplift your mood and make  you happier. It almost releases something that hikes up your immune system.

Love is overused in today's world, people say they love someone because of the way they look or their body. That isn't love. Love is when you can't do anything without thinking about that person, you always want to be with them. It's not that you want to have sex with them, you just want to spend time with them and you just want to hold them and never let go. Love can be fooling, you can think you're in love and it can lead to the most horrible feeling in the world. Also you can wait so long for someone, loving them, and waiting for them to love you back, but they don't return it for a long time and you spend years thinking and thinking and it tears you up inside but when that person realizes that they love you back it's miraculous. Love is a very strong word, don't overuse it.
