Apparently Our Brains Fall In Love In Less Than A Second & Here’s How

The so-called ‘spark’ that people dreamily refer to when they meet a new partner actually does actually exist! 

With a new interesting study that uses functional magnetic resonance imaging, we are now able to see the immediate effects that love has on our brains. 

The study found that the time estimated to “fall in love” usually hits us in about one-fifth of a second.

But what about all those months of getting to know someone and taking them on dates before you drop the L-word?!

Turns out, all of that is just a social convention and months of dating will make you love someone more! However it's the beginning that will tell us if we're in love with someone. 

This happens when a mixture of euphoria-inducing chemicals such as oxytocin, vasopressin, adrenaline, and dopamine spread through your brain. In short, love is a chemical addiction.

So next time you meet someone and find yourself transfixed, don’t just shrug it off!
