Would you like to be part of an experiment

I propose that two people (a gender compatible paring) cannot message each other for a minimum of 3 times a day for month without falling in love with each other...

I’m open to any comments, opinions on changes, if you think two months or more times a day.

Similarly any volunteers, I’m willing to do it but if I can get two Volunteers that would report back to me daily on progress than I will go with that too. I understand given my previous posts most people will suspect this a trick but it’s not.

One proposed Boundary or rule would be:

No pictures? I’m thinking I want to remove any chance of physical attributes ruining the experiment.

How do you come to decide it's love? Or do you think of love as synonymous with attraction?
If this was an experiment in psychology, that'd be the biggest criticism. Defining love.

Interestingly that was the question that led me to this experiment in the first place. I think I ended up with love is subjective...@Miram

I think it should be up to each person to decide yes or no they love the other person. We all define love differently. @Miram

@PeachyK Exactly, and those definitions change as we age, the relationship ends, we get hurt..etc..

@Rumplesmoothbottom And that's why it will border on pseudo-empiricism. Not good in human sciences. Not measurable, not definitive.. Love= what they say they feel. It is like all studies that count on attitudes. They are best done using a scale.

It can be a qualitative study.

@Miram definitely, but I wasn’t really thinking of it being quantitative at all, it was mainly for my own amusement, so if people want to label it as qualitative study (which I totally agree it would be) then they are more than welcome.

But what do you think of the outcome?

Miram · 31-35, F

@Rumplesmoothbottom Oh, I think I answered most of that in the original question. Attraction will happen.
