Whenever people read about the science of love, it usually leads to one of two conclusions:
Love is difficult to describe. Poets and lyricists have tried doing so for eons. And they're still at it.
But how would a scientist describe love? It probably wouldn't be as romantic as a poet's or lyricist's description. I fancy it would be something like this:
In the recruiting process of the working world, recruiters rely on a set of questions to determine whether or not a candidate is worth an interview. This is called The Screen.
In the matchmaking process of the dating world, the same technique can apply. Say a friend wants to set you up. "She's great!" he tells you. "You should meet her!"
Alarm bells may ring. To allay them, you should begin The Screen.
I admit it: I can be a cheesy romantic. Not necessarily the chocolates-in-a-heart-shaped-box with a serenade-in-candlelight-with-rose-pedals kind of cheesy (well, not always). Hopefully more of the creative-surprise-with-a-caress-of-intimacy kind.
Or maybe not. I don't know. You be the judge:
