Limerence is when you’re deeply in love with someone and want to be with them all the time. You feel a rush of adrenaline.
Limerence goes through 3 steps. Attachment or infatuation is the first step. At this point, you’re getting to know each other’s characters and feeling closer to each other. Because you’re still getting to know them, it’s a connection to this person or rather the idea of them.
Crystallization, a second step, is a state of intense love and obsession. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this love. You put them in a box and put on rose-colored glasses at this point, choosing to ignore their worst flaws and only see the good ones. It’s the halo effect, where love makes you blind.
Bad things get worse is the third stage. It’s when you let go of your morals and common sense and make choices based on the story you made up about them and your relationship.
Since love and limerence are not the same thing, it can be hard to tell the difference when you’re with someone. Having said that here are some zodiac signs that fall in love at first sight and might even mistake lust for love:
Libra
Venus is in charge of Libra. Venus is the planet of love, sex, and beauty. They see love and life through rose-colored glasses and can’t stand it. They love their partner and relationships too much, even if the person isn’t good for them. They fall deeply in love quickly and give up their morals, beliefs, and dreams for their partner. They care about their partner and put their needs before their own. This kind of intense lovey behavior is typical of someone who is in love.
Scorpio
Scorpios are the most protective and obsessive of all the zodiac signs when it comes to their partners. They are lovers who are very emotional, intense, and sensual. They can’t change their mind about someone they like once they’ve their eyes on them. They will even ignore the warning signs and start to think about and plan a future with someone. Most of the time, it’s not love but lust for them.
Pisces
Pisces are the dreamers of the stars. That makes people think of them as “delusional.” They have a romantic view of life and often see things in a positive light. When they see someone beautiful, they think, “I’m in love with this person!” right away. They are emotional and think a lot about themselves. They will understand their partner even when they show them their worst traits…
