A guide that’ll help you fall in love.
Is there a quick and easy formula for love? Perhaps there is. Psychologist Arthur Aron (and others)Â conducted a study that put two strangers in a controlled environment which forced them to do what they wouldn’t have done in everyday circumstances: get vulnerable. The premise of the study was simple, the pair were instructed to ask each other 36 increasingly revealing questions and then look into each others eyes for 4 minutes straight. Sounds awkward but it did the job and the couple did in fact fall in love and start dating after the study.
