The following is what I wrote for a QA website. It is a bit poetic, yet it has the smell of science and evolutionary biology in it! I have oversimplified it, but the intend to give a rough idea behind of science of love is fulfilled.
Fine, To mate better.
But wait, can't we mate without loving?
Yes we can. Most of the other animals do it that way. Look around you.
So why love?
Consider world without love. How do you check whether somebody cares about you truly or is just hanging out with you to fulfill his/her (I support gay marriage!) sexual desire.
Why Do We Fall in Love?
Okay. Simply to mate. Fine, To mate better.
But wait, can't we mate without loving?
Yes we can. Most of the other animals do it that way. Look around you.
So why love?
The more evolved (in term of Natural Selections) an organism is, the more complex the process of mating becomes. Compare algae and consider a dog. Huge difference.
"I won't mate with just anybody ". said the brain at some point of evolution. I will search for the best. Wow. This became the golden rule for sex and thus for evolution (you be dumb to say sex is not tightly coupled to evolution.).
Best? What do you mean by best? The strongest, the fastest, the tallest, the coolest, the healthiest, the nerdest. The 'anything-est' I mean.
And one more thing, the most Trust worthy. Females don't want to take care of the baby alone (obviously , why would they you sick sexist!). Human mind has then developed a system to separate the perv and the fuckers from the genuine and caring mate.
This system is called LOVE.
Love is like a meter for us to measure the likelihood of somebody been a good, caring, long lasting, sexy, yummy, delicious mate!!!
The purpose is same, the process is same, the style of execution varies..
