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