The feeling of falling in love in not dependent on romantic or sexual feelings for another person. You can enjoy being in love in many different ways.

When people think of falling in love, they most often think of finding a romantic, sexual partner.

This is understandable. Hollywood sells love, sex and romance; there are businesses galore that support love, sex and romance, and there are businesses that use love, sex, and romance to sell us everything from cars to perfumes to hamburgers.  We’ve become a society so obsessed with partnering up with that one sexual partner that we’ve forgotten that falling in love and romantic partners are not mutually exclusive.

The feeling of falling in love in not dependent on romantic or sexual feelings for another person. You can enjoy being in love in many different ways. So if you’re feeling left out of the “in-love” crowd or your feelings of love for your current romantic partner have faded, read on.

Here are 7 ways to fall in love.

You can fall head over heels in love with

1. Your dog, cat, bird, snake, or whatever kind of pet you have (all living beings have “love” to give and your pet is no exception)

2. Your babies and children (it may be harder to fall in love with your teenager but wait a few years and the feeling may come back)

3. Your best friend (and no, this does not mean you want to sleep with him or her and even if you do, don’t)

4. Your favorite author, actor, recording artist, or professional athlete (and no, this does not mean you have permission to stalk him or have any delusions that she loves you back)

5. Your favorite grandparent, aunt, or other family member who makes you feel loved and special (and no, this does not entail anything creepy or inappropriate)

6. Your work and career (and yes, some people really do fall in love with the work they do and the difference they make)

7. Your life and life itself (if you can fall in love with life, your life, then you’ll  live each day with an open and full heart)

So make a point to fall in love today. It feels good, regardless of who or what is the object of your affection. Take advantage of the heart’s ability to give and receive love unconditionally and in so many wonderful ways.
