If by phenylaline you mean L-phenylalanine, then it is an essential amino acid. It is a precursor for L-tyrosin, another amino, which in turn is a precursor for adrenalin, noradrenalin and dopamine. I think it's also a precursor for phenylethylamine but I don't know by which process.

Although Skeptic seems correct in the connection of phenylethylamine and the 'love' feeling (chocolate is full of it), and this is a generaly accepted fact, there is one source I've found which disagrees. In Alexandra Shulgin's book PIHKAL (PHENETHYLAMINES I HAVE KNOWN AND LOVED), he concludes that it has no noticable effect in man, even via i.v. administration. Have a read, it's an imazing book. You'll probably have to order a copy though.
