Twelve Signs of Love by H. Fisher
Exclusivity
To consider each other as the only and exclusive arc is nice the delusion of all lovers, moreover, literally going crazy with their lover, a person does not even suspect that at this time in his blood simply rises domorphin, which causes this most striking feeling.
Perfection
Lovers look at each other through magical pink glasses, which increase the virtues and diminish the disadvantages. In their memories, a person constantly paints the perfect image of his sweetheart, falling under the influence of norepinephrine, which in this the period also rises in the blood.
Insanity
If we consider the reactions of the human brain, then love and, let’s say drug addiction is very similar in nature. That the same euphoria and the same painful experiences up to the strongest mental “withdrawal”.
Craving for trials
Lovers are not only not afraid, they, as if on purpose, asking for various tests of their feelings. Why? Yes very simple – such extreme situations further increase the number of domorphin in the blood.

No lover can control himself in his feelings. Some try – nothing works. If you it turns out – this is not love.
