This post demonstrates another surface of the important interplay between our “logical” (really just verbal) part-of-mind and our emotional part-of-mind. Other posts on this site, including by Kaj Sotala and Valentine, go into this interplay and how our rationality is affected by it.
It’s important to note, both for ourselves and for our relationships with others, that the emotional part is not something that can be dismissed or fought with, and I think this post does well in explaining an important facet of that. Plus, when we’re shown the possible pitfalls ahead of any limerence, we can be more aware of it when we do fall in love, which is always nice.
