Find a complete stranger.
Reveal to each other intimate details about your lives for half an hour.

York psychologist, Professor Arthur Arun, has been studying why people fall in love.
He asked his subjects to carry out the above 3 steps and found that many of his couples felt deeply attracted after the 34 minute experiment. Two of his subjects later got married.

“Another experiment showed that if people experience fear on a date they often misinterpret that feeling as love.”
also:
“In fact, people who both like the same level of thrills and excitement are more likely to be compatible.”
