What is limerence?

Limerence is when you get super excited and happy because of someone else, almost like your heart is doing a dance.

Imagine you have a favorite toy that makes you laugh every time you play with it. Now imagine there’s a new friend who does exactly that, they make you laugh, feel special, and you can’t stop thinking about them. That’s limerence in action!

When someone makes you feel like your favorite toy is playing with you all day long, it's like being in the middle of a fun game. You want to win, or at least keep playing. This feeling can make you smile even when you're not thinking about them.

Sometimes this feeling gets so strong that it feels like your brain is saying, “I need to see this person again!” It’s like being really hungry and knowing there’s a big snack waiting for you, you just have to go get it!

Limerence doesn’t last forever, but when it's happening, it makes life feel extra fun. Limerence is when you get super excited and happy because of someone else, almost like your heart is doing a dance.
