Study Shows This Test Can Make Anyone Fall In Love With You

If you’ve secretly been pining after the love of your life, we may have just found you the perfect solution. So how do you make someone fall in love with you? By asking them 36 questions which have been proven to foster intimacy between two people. Forget chit-chat about the weather, or first date small talk, the questions were designed to propel a relationship of any stage, to a deeper, meaningful connection. Starting out slowly, the questions kick off asking general aspirations, but soon move to relationships between the person and their mother, to a respondent’s fear of death and the last time you let yourself cry. Based on an experiment by psychologist Arthur Aron, 52 sets of male and female strangers were paired off in a lab and asked to complete the questions. Following the questions, the strangers were then asked to rate how intimate they felt they could be with their partner. Sealing the intimacy deal, the pairs were then asked to stare into each other’s eyes for four minutes without speaking. The experiment showed that if you could answer the 36 questions, then you could build a lasting relationship with your confidante. And just six-months after Aron’s study, one couple did just that, marrying after they had grown such a close-formed friendship and love. The social experiment shot to fame again this week after New York Times’ columnist Mandy Len Catron attempted the trial herself… and wound up in love. So what are the magical questions? Here are the 36 insights to a soul, that could help you fall madly in love. Now all we need to do is track down Jamie Dornan…
