What you call emotions in science is called " A cycle of chemical reactions in which various drugs and hormones are produced to create what people naivly call emotions". There is no love, love is a chemical state created by 4 chemicals: dopamine,norepinephrine,phenylethylamine and oxytocin.

Norepinephrine and dopamine combine to produce that craving and focus on a specific individual (because your brain is created to ensure your survival and gene spreading) because norepi. has similiarities with adrenaline (increased heart rate and excitement) while dopamine is "pleasure chemical".

Why people feel something is cute? Because the brain makes it happen so the individual could defend better his child because unlike some animals who lay more than 1000 eggs humans do not have this ability.
