Section 1:

I published this article in the "New York Times Modern Love" column in January of this year. "To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This." So the procedure is fairly simple: two strangers take turns asking each other 36 increasingly personal questions and then they stare into each other's eyes without speaking for four minutes.

So here are a couple of sample questions. Number 12: If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be? Number 28: When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself? As you can see, they really do get more personal as they go along.

So when I first came across this study a few years earlier, one detail really stuck out to me, and that was the rumor¹ that two of the participants had gotten married six months later, and they'd invited the entire lab to the ceremony. So I was of course very skeptical² about this process of just manufacturing romantic love, but of course I was intrigued³. And when I got the chance to try this study myself, with someone I knew but not particularly well, I wasn't expecting to fall in love.
