cause we are merely human, with emotions. Love is like faith in God. u can't see it, u can't feel it but you know its there and that you need it. affection is a way for us too see what love is...

People are naturally social animals. Seeking love and affection is a chemical reaction in the brain. Ever walked down a busy street and saw all the busy people looking at each other? That's a form of being social. When you go into a classroom for the first time you choose a seat unless your teacher is a geek and gives you assigned seats you will always sit in that seat and you will become social with some of the people around you. Same on the bus, a plane, a train. We are social animals

The need for love and affection is built in to our very makeup. In fact the need for human contact if so great without it our life span is shortened. I look at like this, individually we are so utterly separate from each other. We live in a personal world that none other can really touch. Your very thoughts, emotional feelings, and sense of touch can only be experienced by you.
We need love and affection from other entities like us to validate our own existence as well as to end our intrinsic feelings of being alone. Human interaction including love and affection serves really as celebration of acknowledgment of those that share our common existence.
The happiest human being are those that value their own existence while fully validating the same in another. Put another way if you love yourself with full appreciation of your own existence then you can fully connect with others around you in the same way. Emotional validation is a major part of the cycle of love, affection, and acceptance.
When you add physical pleasure "sex" to this cycle of validation then you create what we have to come to know as "being in love".

As humans it's how we are wired (most of us anyway). It's how Nature designed us to be, primarily to procreate on a level a bit different than that of animals who do it by instinct and without affection for their partner (generally).
