Why do people fall in love with people they can't have?

Asked by partyrock (3870points) March 18th, 2012

For example, a mistress having an affair with a man who is married or in a committed relationship… Is it the appeal that he is taken that makes someone want them more? Is it because they know they can never get him/her? Is it true that “We want what we can’t have” apply here?

Is it the “fire” or “danger” that attracts someone?
