Here are four weird theories about how you fall for someone . . . that are actually backed by science.
1. It only takes four minutes to fall in love. Sort of. According to a study in the “New York Times”, four minutes of staring at someone might be enough to fall in love. (And if you answer these 36 questions together, you’re even MORE likely to.)
2. We look for someone who’s like our family. This is based on the idea that we like familiarity . . . and subconsciously search for that in a partner.
3. It’s like cocaine. According to a study from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, the way our brains light up when we’re in love is the same way they would if we were high on cocaine.
4. Diet plays a role. According to a study from the dating app Are You Interested, men were more likely to contact vegetarian women, while women were more likely to hit up meat-eaters.
