Falling in love...
According the online information , there are 3 stages of love.The picture above was created by me.
Stage 1: Lust
It is dominated by the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen.
On the picture above, one person is showing a little"lust",but no interaction yet ( the area between two things is white).
Stage 2: Attraction
During the attraction phase couples are already in love and are overcome with their feelings.
There are important neuro-transmitters that come into play during this stage, Dopamine and Norepinephrine. On the picture above, we see this clearly, the area between the things getting reddish and the things getting nice colours.
Stage 3: Attachment
The attachment phase helps couples grow bonds and feel connected to each other.Two hormones come into play here:
Oxytocin and Vasopressin.On the picture, we see the strong bond between the couple ( red colour dominating).
