Love is blind....a quote but it is with some truth.

Is love blind?


We've all heard the expression, "Love is blind," meaning that when we first meet someone and think we're falling in love, we're quite oblivious to their faults and shortcomings.

There is a term called limerance that has been coined to describe the somewhat indescribable feelings that arise when we first meet someone to whom we're attracted. During the period of limerance, you become infatuated with someone you barely know and rush headlong into a relationship. Many people don't eat, sleep, and can't concentrate on anything but the object of this powerful attraction.

Limerance can be the forerunner of love. But, it's also possible that once the "high" of limerance passes, feelings of love fade into indifference or dislike. The period of limerance is usually six to twelve months. What happens after that is the true test of a relationship.

With a large number of people getting married within twelve months of meeting, the high divorce rate in the U.S. begins to make sense. Limerance is a good argument for dating past the one year mark before making a long-term commitment.

What do you think about limerance, and the crazy joys and highs of the beginning of relationships? Experienced it yourself? Watched your best friend's ups and downs?

Guess the only way to find out and to know for sure......and my finding is that it is tough after the intial honeymoon period is over and when reality set in. This is also the time to test your love...to see how strong or how deep you feel for one another. I believed that man....change little becoz I know myself well. From day 1 till now....I am still the same with my feeling and seldom let the situations or conditions to affect my feeling much. Maybe I may seem "distance" at times, but as you know....we are "asian" we tend to keep lots of affections inside but still I find that I am quite constant in that area. hahaha....yeah, blood type "B+" also still has some good points too.....the main one is "RELIABLE".
