Chemistry

Listening to the radio John Tesh tells us that when you are first meeting someone you might like your body release chemicals dopamine and epinephrine.

These chemicals make you feel things. Dopamine will help you feel relaxed and happy. Make you feel feelings of nostalgia like you have known that person for a long time. Epinephrine can make you feel figgity or warm inside, flustered. Considering that you can get addicted to epinephrine from running I am assuming people can get addicted to these chemicals. People who are don't know why but they will want to go out and meet new people but grow quickly bored with them as their body stops releasing these hormones in defense. People probably associate these feelings with words like passion or chemistry, love at first sight. John Tesh also states that we look for features in our potential partners that remind of ways our parents made us feel. So it isn't that bad of a complaint if someone says you are like their parents. Unless there is something drastically wrong with their parents.
