Hey guys, welcome or welcome back to Call Your Friends. We're your friends, Maddie and Lauren.

And we're back for another episode. Today we have a fun one. We were going to do a general Q&A, but that's been done before.

Yeah, I feel like we've done many Q&As on the podcast, so this week we're going to be switching it up and answering the 36 questions that lead to love.

Yeah, this is funny.

Obviously, like, you could do this with anyone.

It's not just for like a romantic relationship.

We read through the questions and we're like, this is interesting, I think, to get to know your friends or your family or whoever, or if you are in a relationship with someone that you're in a relationship with.

But basically, I guess the idea behind this is that a psychologist named Arthur Aaron created this quiz to help boost intimacy between thousands of strangers resulting in friendship,

romance, and even marriage. So it sounds pretty interesting. Yeah, there's something that I've heard

about through some of my friends, I think, but I've never actually gone through and read them all

or answered them. So I don't even know what my answers are going to be. We can figure it out together.

I'll give you a little bit of background. This article says in a 1997 study at the State University

of New York at Stony Brook, psychologist Arthur Aaron explored whether intimacy between two perfect

strangers could be accelerated. So can you fall in love with anyone? What he came up with are the

following 36 questions that lead to love.

So it's pretty interesting.

We'll see.

I want to see if it says if he thinks that people can fall in love, like, with a perfect

stranger.

What does that even mean, the perfect stranger?

Like, if your answers to the questions are compatible, then you're compatible.

Is that what it's trying to say?
