What’s it like to be in Dating? For many people dating is just having wonderful dinner and spending 2 or 3 hours together for chit chat. Actually, Dating is the way to know about you partners sensation.
The vast majority of people know exactly what the feeling is when they have it,” says Dr. Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University and a leading authority on the subject of love. Her book, Why We Love, takes a look at the process from a scientific perspective.
Scientists like Fisher have studied the process of love to determine exactly what’s going on in our brains. They’ve uncovered chemicals that cause all sorts of reactions, from bliss to bonding, and found three distinct ways in which people relate to their partners: lust, love, and attachment.
When it comes to lust that feeling of desire or craving for another person the chemical responsible is testosterone.
While people often associate testosterone with men, Dr. Fisher points out that both women and men have elevated levels of testosterone when they are attracted to someone. If you’ve ever had an overwhelming desire to reach out and touch someone, testosterone may be responsible.
