According to Watershed Counseling Associates, the interesting thing about limerence is the belief that only certain people can create this process in our brains. Researcher John Gottman in his work, Principia Amoris, says that we have to smell a date (crush) and feel that he is the right person to activate a flood of neurotransmitters in our brains. In different words, not everyone can cause this process and need some special things that only a "special" person has to make us crazy about him/her.

2. Interested in each other

The attraction phase begins when we begin to change our mind about a particular person. Sometimes we obsess over them and start thinking about them all the time.

During this phase, the hormones dopamine and adrenaline present in our body are accelerated, giving us an extraordinary sensation where our body feels as if it is being flooded with powerful energy. Although it is often considered trivial and distinct from the process of falling in love, psychologists actually consider attraction to be one of the most important stages in the falling in love process. They say that we really need this process to connect and connect with others, step by step.

The process of attraction is almost the same as when we see a partner as  absolutely perfect. "Love has to be blind," says Ellen Berscheid, a leading researcher in the field of love psychology, for it to work, in the sense that we have to see our partner as perfect, at least for a while. Many people may be disappointed when this phase ends, but experts say that this very important phase should be enjoyed and more importantly, we should make it a bridge to the next phase.

3. Share affection

Affection is the last phase of the process developed by Dr. Helen Fisher described infatuation cycle. When this cycle is complete, we will connect with our partner on the deepest level of love.

According to Psychology Today,  during this stage, hormones like dopamine and adrenaline begin to wane and are then  replaced by the "cuddle hormone" oxytocin and the "monogamy hormone" vasopressin, which  give us a sense of relaxation, or perhaps an impulse to have children with a partner to have.

Throughout life, compassion is always present in our lives as an expression of love. In childhood, our family and friends are the people who are closest to us. Of course, this changes as different people come and go in  our lives, eventually culminating in a cycle of romantic love.

4. Internalization

The father of world psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, was very sure when he described the process of internalization in the process of falling in love. Starting from the Psych Central page, through internalization we will add the people we love and care about within ourselves and in the end they will become a part of us.
