It sounds like a big topic. I guess this would be a starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love#Biological_basis

I don't think love is just a biological process.  Its also a social process: the idea of love itself has many socially defined/described aspects (magazines, movies, friends) thay set expectations for the party's involved.  Of course, the biological aspect (attraction?) is also there.

Can you edit this question and narrow the scope somewhat Miroslav? I think there's a really interesting question here but as it stands an answer could be as long as a book...

Well, though this book is more about how love is in terms of evolution aspects rather than biological aspect, I would say it is worth reading and you might get some stuffs clear about 'the inside and outside of love'- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20707972-anatomy-of-love
