  Addicted to Love: Sex, Love & Compulsion
For addicts, sex isn't an expression of love or a pleasurable pastime, but an obsessive force that causes trance-like states of arousal and overpowering urges to act out sexual fantasies.
Sex addicts, then, may not be addicted to sex so much as they're dependent upon the physical and psychological arousal triggered by constant "doses" of PEA and stress-related neurotransmitters.
Love addicts live in endless anticipation of perfect love, and not finding it with one lover, immediately begin searching for it with another.

 Addicted to love
Before you fall in love, you fall in lust and adrenaline kicks in causing your heart to race.
Then when you begin to fall in love, elevated levels of dopamine (a naturally occurring chemical in your brain), are sent to various parts of your brain causing fierce energy and a concentrated motivation to attain a reward (your lover).
Love is like an addiction and this is because dopamine causes you to crave the one you love, says Dr Stephen Juan.

OK, so when you look at it closely "Addicted to Love" is a romantic comedy about stalkers.
