Answers:
1- FALSE!!!!

5- The initial stage of love is Lust and the dominant chemicals that incite Lust are also associated with danger, new experiences, and working out. To form a strong chemical bond with someone try new activities, dangerous situations (like a roller coaster - not a drug cartel take over), or a game of beach volley ball.

What we learned from all this crazy research....
1- The crazed characters who say they are in love seconds after meeting are obviously infected with some mutant fungi and should be put down for their own good.

2- While writing about the Lust stage of Love is easy, it doesn't tell the whole story.

3- If we want to make someone fall in love with us we either need to dope them with a concoction of chemicals, or take them out for a new experience, a heavy make-out session, and maybe a long walk after to boost their dopamine levels. We also know from prior research that Positive Reinforcement is the best training method. We will reinforce the positive sensations whenever our love interest is near thus spurring production of oxytocin and vassopressin in the brain.

4- The heart is a muscle and has nothing to do with Love. All of those emotions are dictated by various parts of the brain, one throws a spear, the other wears stilettos.

5- With an fMRI scanner and a few blood tests you can prove whether someone is in love or not. This is probably excessive for the first date, so settle for subtle body language and declarations of undying devotion.
