fall in love vs falling in love

fall in love vs falling in love When people say they are falling in love, it doesn't make sense compared to that of to fall in love. When someone falls physically it normally happens instantly, isn't that the same as if someone falls in love. So when I hear someone is falling in love it makes it seems as though they are placing enormous amounts of eFfort and time. But isn't the entire fall in love aspect supposed to be somewhat instant like love at first sight? This has been falling in and out of my thoughts most recently.
