And I know it because I did it before. I've read about the experiment in a few articles before. Having an experience as a research assistant on Emotional Intelligence, I know a thing or two about Interpersonal Relationship and how openness can affect your relationship with (who you thought is) a stranger.
I don't know how to fall out of love with someone though. Can the reverse be true? Like you just need to not share? You just need to not care enough.
Anyways. It's also interesting if repetition can work just as effective. If this is what you need to fall in love, can you, say, do it again with a different person and fall in love again, just as much? Or will you then be reminded of how you fell in love with your previous partner (whom you fell in love with, by the very same process) and go back rerouting to that person? After all, romanticization is a powerful thing. If everything is as easy as it is though, I'll open a love clinic and prepare my troops of strangers to connect with you and make you fall in love all over again.
We love science, don't we all?
