The Way to True Love

Writer Mandy Len Catron refers to a study about love conducted by psychologist Arthur Aron in her Modern Love essay, “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This”, that there are 36 questions that one can ask a stranger to determine if the stranger will be one's true love. 

This Vice video features a bunch of volunteers, trying these questions out. Of course, not everyone meets their perfect stranger that easily, but I think it quite a fun thing to do, and a way to get intimate and open up to people as well as oneself. 

There is, of course, no direct train to Destination True Love; but I think these questions is an express train to all sorts of things one usually get to understand about the other person as they go deeper into a relationship. 

Though, isn't the learning and slow unravelling of oneself to another soul, or vice versa, that make love interesting, that make love complex as it is, that make finding true love all the more meaningful and precious? 

Well, who cares? No harm trying it out, just for fun.
