1. Mood

2. Arousal
People are more susceptible to love if they are in emotional or stressful situations. If you are present at these situations, you will be viewed as more attractive. When people have bad or good news, they need someone to share the news with. Being present at emotional or stressful situations allows you opportunities to fulfill esteem, social, and safety needs of others. In other words, you are able to provide the benefits of love.
People also may mislabel another emotional or physical arousal for sexual arousal. There are numerous studies that show people, who were emotionally or physically aroused, to misjudge the attractiveness of others. Unattractive people will be viewed as more unattractive, while attractive people will be viewed as more attractive.
