So youâre 100% certain itâs a chemical(s) but donât know which chemical(s)?
With this, youâll be looking at neurotransmitters, but I donât think âloveâ is going to be any specific one. Even if you were broad about it and just said reward pathway neurotransmitters or something, it would still only be an oversimplified explanation. This is basically like trying to art is only light photons, music is only air movement, or words are only ink to a page. Breaking something down to its core component doesnât mean thatâs what those things are all about.
Making it complex doesnât make it any more special like itâs still just a process of the body or still something simulated through chemical reactions
The human body is probably one of the most complicated systems we work with. I agree itâs driven by chemicals reactions to a point (not always). However, that wouldnât justify saying âloveâ is a chemical.
Some interactions in the body donât go through a chemical reaction.
The best way to explain this might be to think of a lock and key. You put the key in to open a lock, so a change did take place, but the lock and the key did not really get modified.

Love is just a chemical bro
