There's every reason to think SSRIs blunt your ability to fall and stay in love.
You can be instantly scared. You can be instantly happy. So why can't you be instantly romantically in love? I think when it happens, it's because you are ready to fall in love.
After a man falls madly in love, he no longer cares how old she is.
Psychologists maintain that the dizzying feeling of intense romantic love lasts only about 18 months to - at best - three years.
There's more than one person on the planet. When you're madly in love, that's not what you think.
Love is not an emotion; it is a drive.
When you can't have someone but you're not willing to accept that, you try harder and become more extreme about it. Either you win the person back or you drive him away.
More and more of us live segmented, compartmentalized lives. This isn't natural. For millions of years, our forebears knew everyone around them and everyone knew them.
Women have a better sense of color and a better color memory. They're more likely to notice when something doesn't match; more likely to notice what you're wearing.
Since when is anyone truly honest with anyone?
Men fall in love faster than, and just as often as, women.
Every time you cuddle with your children, you're likely to be driving down your testosterone.
I have always been interested in how you can walk into a room and there will be 40 people there and you are immediately drawn to one.
I suspect privacy is a very new concept to humanity.
