Because people who have no dating experience experience and are virgins at anything relating to love, come at this kind of stuff with pure innocence. They have a ton of love they want to shower on to the object of their affection, and they are so desperate to have that acknowledged, received, and reciprocated. They don't know anything about how to identify, manage, or regulate emotions that they've never felt before. Innocent people like this are basically golden retrievers.... Big hearts, lots of trust, lots of love, and all of it uninhibited. And they are going to go above and beyond to "people please" for those they care about. On the surface, this kind of behavior is cute and adorable, but at the same time it's also very dangerous, because it makes them into potential targets and victims for those who are very disingenuous, and who would take advantage of them. Sadly, these kinds of pure hearted and innocent people often experience a lot of hurt, abuse, neglect, manipulation, and being taken advantage of.
