"A lot of these questions are also used at interviews. Would they make me fall in love with someone? No. ![]() It’s one way at an interview and therefore the reciprocal vulnerability isn’t happening, that’s supposedly the connection part, and the eyes. That would be inappropriate at an interview - it’s not the questions per se! ![]() | |||

"Oh I remember this! I tried it out before with someone and I can't say I fell in love with him but I definitely grew a lot closer to him and understood him a lot more. I am going to use those questions on someone dear to me but that's more because I'm really interested in what he says, we already have that intimacy and depth of feeling." Yeah I'm sure you already have a level of depth that is way passed the questions in this test _eli! Plus I know they already asked you all these questions months ago hehe xxx | |||

"I’ve done the staring into eyes thing...but only with women, on retreats. Unbelievably powerful. When I’ve done it, we’ve taken it in turns to verbalise what emotions and thoughts come up.

"It’s been a couple of years since I first posted this, apologies to those that remember it! I’m in the mood for love, again. In Mandy Len Catron’s Modern Love essay, “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,” she refers to a study by the psychologist Arthur Aron (and others) that explores whether intimacy between two strangers can be accelerated by having them ask each other a specific series of personal questions. The 36 questions in the study are broken up into three sets, with each set intended to be more probing than the previous one. The idea is that mutual vulnerability fosters closeness. To quote the study’s authors, “One key pattern associated with the development of a close relationship among peers is sustained, escalating, reciprocal, personal self-disclosure.” Allowing oneself to be vulnerable with another person can be exceedingly difficult, so this exercise forces the issue. The final task Ms. Catron and her friend try — staring into each other’s eyes for four minutes — is less well documented, with the suggested duration ranging from two minutes to four. But Ms. Catron was unequivocal in her recommendation. “Two minutes is just enough to be terrified,” she told me. “Four really goes somewhere.” I was reading the questions today, interesting topics and led me to ponder some of my answers! I’ll post them all below - why not answer one or two of them? Meanwhile here's the song "Wildfire" by Seafret : which uses the experiment as the set up for the video! https://youtu.be/RHhkd2B87Q8 ![]() Thanks for posting this, very interesting. I had to stare into a strangers eyes in a healing yoga workshop for 8 minutes, 4 each. Was very powerful x | |||
