Summary

What is it that makes people fall in love? It's one of the greatest mysteries of being human. I walked into the bookstore here in Colorado and stumbled upon Mandy Len Catron's memoir, How to Fall In Love with Anyone by Asking Them 36 Questions, and I couldn't help but wonder if these questions really could make you fall in love with anyone. My roommate, Matt, and his girlfriend at the time, Laura, volunteered to ask each other these questions to find out if this might just lead to a deeper connection and take us closer to solving the mystery of love.

When I was 20 in college, his name was Baxter and we're still friends,

0:39.5

that was the recognition of, wow, this relationship has an infinity to it.

And that was the first time I felt that. We were in college, we were hanging out,

It was pretty non-verbal. It was pretty much an instant recognition of like your mind and I'm

yours. And now we're clicking in, we're clicking into something that's bigger than us,

1:14.6

and it was really creative from the start, full of creative energy. In fact, when I read just kids
