36 questions that allegedly make love happen

Post Reply New Topic

I read this weird article in the Guardian about 36 questions that can make you fall in love with anyone. The article is about two journalists using them on a date.

I did some research, and I managed to track down the original questions in this study.

The questions seem to be silly small talk stuff, with some personal questions.

This whole thing really creeps me out, but I can't articulate why. I'm guessing it's because these thirty-six questions are trying to force a natural process. I'm not sure how I'd react if any girl tried out one of these lines.

I heard something similar on the radio. The questions sounded like from an awkward blind date.

I actually read that same article and read through the questions myself. I felt really uncomfortable thinking about exposing myself to someone like that all over the course of about an hour. It seems like the closest thing to intimacy without sex but I don't like it cause it just feels rushed and forced. I'd rather it happen when it happens. Like that Mexican saying "Que sera sera" "What will happen will happen."
