Why do you fall over if you close your eyes and stand on one leg?

I have tried several times, and I do not fall over. Still, to answer your question: I guess that your eyes register that you are standing straight, and as such you can keep your balance. When you close your eyes, the balance-organ in your ear is apparently not able to recognize a balance, and you fall. Also, I think that the muscles in your (one) leg aren't used to standing on their own. When you stand up, the muscles in your legs constantly make tiny adjustments to keep you standing. Normally, your legs would do that together, but now that one leg you're standing on has to keep balance all by itself. It's like the difference between riding a bicycle or a one-wheeler.

Can you fall for the same person over and over?
I believe you can most definitely fall for someone several times. Why do you think people make up after they break up? Because when they set eyes on each other they fall in love all over again. You can definitely fall for the same person! There may be things that change about them, but then you change....... you never know! Just don't let it control you!

How do you make red eyes go away?
cold compresses with ice in a ziplock bag wrapped in a face towel. close your eyes and put the towel covered ice packs over your eyes. the cold constricts your blood vessels and causes your eyes to look less red. Cucumber slices over the eyes works well, too. There are also over-the-counter eyedrops (Visine is one brand) that help to constrict the blood vessels and make the eyes look less red.
