Chocolate and Roses have the phenolethylalanines that trigger the phermones in the gland behind the sinus that start the limerence reaction. No wonder it is the choice for Valentine's Day.
I have learned to channel that feeling of "'thrill, thrill i'm in love, i'm in love, thrill thrill," to not attach itself to a PERSON, but to just feel the juicy goodness of it and think of the spring day, or the warm furry kitty, or the green grass I am rolling in, or some such.
That has gone a long way to head off the worst of attaching the feeling to
a person, which is ALWAYS problematic.

It wasn't until I came to WP that I learned what limerance was. Now it's so easy to see that it was never the person at all, but someone who happened along at the right moment for me to fixate on.
