Study: We Fall In Love In Less Than A Second

-
f you're convinced that science only confirms the obvious, we've got some mind-boggling news for you. According to new researchconducted by Dr. Stephanie Ortigue, a professor at Syracuse University, love actually can occur at first sight, and it happens within a fifth of a second.
Ortigue explains that romantic feelings originate not in the heart, but in the brain, which reacts to romance as if it were influenced by cocaine. When you fall in love, twelve areas of the brain sync up to release "happy" chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine and adrenaline. Like a love potion concocted by the brain itself, these chemicals induce feelings of euphoria in the brain's cognitive centers that manage metaphors, language comprehension, visual processing and body image. The whole process occurs faster than you can even blink.
Although we aren't surprised at how the brain reacts to romance, the notion of instantaneous love is perplexing. For every guy we've crushed on instantly, there's been another who had to work pretty darn hard, and for a pretty long time, to win us over. What about boyfriends who started out as platonic guy buddies? What about people we meet online? The process of falling in love with someone you meet on a dating site often unfolds over long periods of time, as it's difficult to gauge physical attraction before you meet in person.
Maybe the line between love at first sight and the love that grows over time lies at the point of realization. Sure, there are some guys we learned to love, but realizing we were attracted to them felt like an epiphany. The passion might have arrived long after the second we met, but the euphoria was just as striking.
Whatever the case, Ortigue's findings present major implications for heartbreak and mental health. Love may occur at first sight, but it takes ages to get over. By knowing how the brain handles love, counselors and psychologists are better equipped to help clients understand their reactions to heartbreak. Her research may also contribute to new therapies for dealing with lost love. Let's just hope those techniques don't veer intoEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind territory. 
Do you believe in love at first sight? How long does it/did take for you to fall in love?

Assalamualaikum, Aku masih lagi di sini. Alhamdulillah masih hidup lagi.  Jikalau blogku sudah lama tiada post baru bermakna aku sudah tiada lagi di dunia ini. Alhamdulillah syukur pada hadrat ilahi syukur kepada ALLAH subhanahu wataala akhirnya aku dapat kerja dekat dengan rumah.  Lebih kurang 30 minit sampai tempat kerja.  ALHAMDULILLAH hidup aku baru nak stabil diusiaku yang menjangkau 30 an.  Aku bukan seperti orang lain muda-muda hidup dah stabil.  Hidup aku banyak ujian.
