Falling in love "affects" (changes) people in many ways. Let's "take a look at" (consider) some of the "stereotypical behaviors," or things that people are generally expected to do when they fall in love.

When people have a crush, they become "preoccupied with" (always thinking about) the person they're falling in love with. Young girls might "doodle" (make small drawings on a piece of paper) hearts and the "initials" (the first letter in one's first, middle, and last name) of the person they like. Other people might find themselves "staring into space" (looking into the distance, not aware of what is happening around oneself) while thinking about that "special someone" (the person whom one loves). Some people become so "distracted" (always thinking about something else) when they fall in love that they "lose their appetite" (no longer want to eat) and/or have trouble sleeping at night.

Other people become very creative and "expressive" (able to share one's thoughts and feelings) when they fall in love. These people "light up" (become very excited and animated) when they are around their special someone, or even when they think about that person. They might write love letters or romantic poetry. Some people send them to the person they're in love with, but they do it secretly, signing "from a secret admirer" instead of putting their name on it. Other people write songs and "serenade" (sing a romantic song outside a bedroom window) the person they're falling in love with. People who aren't as musical and don't know how to "compose" (write music) might make a "mixed tape," or make a recording of many of their favorite romantic songs, and give it to their special someone as a gift.
