Falling in love with two partners sometimes takes a few minutes and can take many years to understand their feelings towards each other. The minutes a person falls in love with someone is only four minutes, and for a few people it can be faster too. For some people, the four minutes come after a long wait. So it's clear that only four minutes are needed. And the magic that occurs between the two occurs entirely during that given time.

New York psychologist Professor Arthur Aaron has succeeded in getting two strangers to fall in love in the lab in just 94 minutes.

The study included a combination of four minutes of staring into each other's eyes and 90 minutes of intimate conversation using predetermined questions. The study ended with the marriage of the participants.

"When it comes to attracting a partner, it's absolutely true that first impressions last," says Gorghenidze.

It is often observed that couples stare at each other for several minutes. It is a way of expressing their inner feelings towards their partners. This is not just true for well-known people or friends; strangers who stare into each other's eyes for a few minutes can notice an attraction between them.

This attraction acts as a reason for both men and women to develop a tendency towards each other.

It can be strange for many people when a stranger stares into their eyes, and some may not like it and avoid the person and stay away from him as such behavior indicates their dissatisfaction as well as a rejection of this type of closeness.

On the other hand, it has also been observed in studies that men and women who take a few minutes to stare at each other immediately fall in love.

Friends only remain friends for years unless they feel the spark in their hearts.

Eye contact is the best way to express a feeling that touches the heart. It shows confidence and emotions that are difficult to achieve in any way.

Gaining attraction or attraction to someone takes only a few seconds. It is believed that only three seconds are required to attract anyone. The reason for the attraction varies from person to person.

Some may be attracted to the actions of the other party. When men are attracted to women, it is for their beauty as well as for their behavior. Appearance and presentation are important when it is necessary to appear attractive.

The shorter the time needed to attract a person, the easier it is to express the feeling. Attraction acts like magic to express a feeling of love. Couples don't have to work hard to reveal themselves. It may not be easy to express or define the feeling of love. But the attractions themselves give the ability to ignite sparks within four minutes.

This is the exact reason behind the high demand for dating sites. The first preference of a person is to look for an attractive person. Different age groups use such sites to find the right partner. Some find it and some don't, but beyond this strategy is the application of the four-minute theory.

Once partners are attracted, they will start interacting with each other for minutes. So these few minutes of interaction are enough to fall in love.

In 2017, a group of researchers decided to figure out what love is at first sight once and for all.

First and foremost, they found that love at first sight does not exist without a strong physical attraction. It's also not surprising that people with long-term relationships score higher on "love tests" than people who first met but reported their love at first sight. But this is not a trick of your memory when you are in a relationship, people who have never met before truly believe that they have fallen in love with a stranger.

Overall, although love at first sight may not be as deep as long-term committed romantic love, it does exist. It not only refers to physical attraction or intense passion but instead love at first sight is a phenomenon that drives people to want to know more – it is the willingness to fall in love and experience everything with this new person.
