Why was Michal in love with David?

1 Samuel 18:20 (ESV)

20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

Michal would have heard of David’s various exploits on the battlefield. She would also have had opportunity to speak to him when he was at court. Quite naturally, given David’s achievements and status, he would have been an attractive prospect for marriage and she was keen for the same.
