  I think the attraction happens unconsciously(mind), then takes on a biological/chemical process in the brain. A mind/body reaction. It has happened to me and it felt as if my conscious mind was not in the driver's seat (not my ego, but my unconscious - the id).

  BTW, sorry for my previous off-topic post. I thought this was a science show. Regardless, yes I have experienced love at first sight. I think Eric Berne wrote interesting things on this topic but generally speaking I don't believe what he wrote. I prefer to think that love is a mystery.

  i have definitely experienced love at first sight. We were both unavailable and it wouldn't go away.

  I'd like to hear the addiction to the crazy-obsessive love talked about. I find that many of my friends are simply addicted, and unable to proceed to the more stable love. They need their fix. They have nothing but intense, short affairs which always end in disappointment. Many find eventually that if they're not going crazy-obsessed over someone, they lose interest. This leads to the way women say things like "I only have good sex with bad men. The good men are boring in bed." I maintain that they're simply not getting their fix, and wouldn't know true love from their... elbow.

  Have you tested "love" via parent and child's love or child's love for parent?

  Does one's chemistry change as one gets older? Could this explain the way people begin to lose interest in each other at menopause and middle age?

  Listening to the guests I get a saddness when I remember the joy of romantic love.

  If once we understand all the science behind the love, will love poetry cease to exist?

  Does marijuana effect the way one might experience love?

  How do you know if you are one of the people who cannot form pair bonds? What can you do about it?

  Correction! When we talk about acquired characteristics (including genes) being heritable, it's not Linnaeus (who classified organisms and is considered the father of taxonomy) who's being vindicated, but Lamarck!
