In the attraction stage, a group of neuro-transmitters called 'monoamines' play an important role:
Dopamine - Also activated by cocaine and nicotine
Norepinephrine - Otherwise known as adrenalin. Starts us sweating and gets the heart racing
Serotonin - One of love's most important chemicals and one that may actually send us temporarily insane

I guess you are looking beyond the species propagation theory. Yes, we have pheromones. But, it still triggers the chemicals in the brain.

They don't call it "falling in love" for nothing. You just "lose" your mind.
