bah

I see nothing wrong or unneutral about this page, and have removed your npov. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PrivateRyan (talk • contribs).

Whether or not it's npov I think the page is terrible. It has two sources, they are very old (1956 and 1983), it uses specialized psychobabble rather than plain english, and it does not have any in-line citations. Come on people! Much more has been written about falling in love than the extremely narrow perspectives portrayed on this page. Cazort (talk) 05:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For those cynical science-minded people out there like myself, who are still, at the end of the day, in fact human, I strongly reccomend reading "A General Theory of Love." Love could be described as a particular from of deep limbic resonance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.120.211 (talk) 20:50, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Falling in love

The artical states that love might not be permenet, but I say the differ. Even if you and the object are seperated, love can be permenet, if the love is strong enough.

Actually, love will "die", sooner or late. It's a scientific fact. Besides, it said it MIGHT not be permanent, not that it's never permanent. 74.33.52.181 00:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are no scientific facts. In particular, about stuff that is subjective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.92.4.75 (talk) 16:30, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Length

Is really all we have on the subject?It doesn't tell me anything, except that scientists tried to classify it.It needs to be improved.I'll do it if noone else will. Mr. Green^chat 16:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brain Chemistry

The neurostransmitters responsible for falling in love include serotonin and others, if I'm not mistaken. I think they should be included in this article.Calamus Fortis 17:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to suggest this be merged with the "Limerence" article, as it has become clear to me that "limerence" is a relatively new word that means "falling in love". Thank you,75.56.51.96 (talk) 14:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Falling in love" is almost certainly a neurobiological condition that has the hallmarks of addiction and numerous similarities, viz. withdrawal, dysphoria, dysthemia in absence, etc. At some point, the precision of neuroscience will converge with common sense and tell us that it is so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.13.90 (talk) 02:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A great start

This is a great start to the article! The diversity of subtopics cover all aspects of the main topic and more. Also, all sources are relevant and useful. However, more research can be added to make this article more relevant and informative.

It's Eros

Although the body of the article isn't about anything else, the lede fails to make clear that we're talking about the sex-based love here, not storge, agape, nor philia. Lycurgus (talk) 23:37, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Spoken Article

I plan to record a spoken version of the article soon. Any feedback is welcomed. 0101Abc (talk) 01:57, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
