If you fall in love with someone who is likely to like you back, it dramatically increases your chances of success.

But some people, as ADVICE.NEWS reports, still fall in love with those who will never reciprocate their feelings or simply seem too unapproachable.

Let's find out why this happens.

Challenge and excitement

Trying to win the favor or attention of unapproachable people is associated with a sense of excitement and intrigue.

Some people find the chase and uncertainty appealing because they add a sense of adventure to the experience of falling in love.

Perceived value and desirability

Limited availability or the impression that others find them attractive may make them more appealing to some people.

Projection of idealized qualities

Lack of familiarity or limited interaction can lead to the creation of an idealized image in the mind in which the person becomes a reflection of certain qualities or characteristics that the person finds highly desirable or desirable.

Increased confidence

Gaining the attention or affection of someone considered unattainable can feel like a personal achievement.

Fear of intimacy or commitment

For some people, developing feelings for an unapproachable person can serve as a defense mechanism.

This allows you to experience passion and desire without having to fully commit to a committed relationship or face potential vulnerability and emotional risks.
