It only stuck with me just like this story that like there is a formula for love.

Whether you're currently in a relationship or not, many of us feel that there's something

special about the person we pick to be our romantic partner. They have qualities that are

specifically compatible with us. Even if you don't endorse the idea of The One or Soulmate,

a partner couldn't just be anyone, right?

For the next few days, we're going to explore what it means to find and be in love.

Starting with the fact that falling in love might be easier than you thought. I'm Shayla Love, and you're listening to Scientific Americans Science Quickly.

This week, we're diving into love and the brain, starting with the backstory behind a famous set of 36 questions described in the New York Times.

The idea that a partner could be anyone is possibly why a 2015 piece in the New York Times

Modern Love Column entitled, To Fall in Love With Anyone Do This, made such a splash.

The piece claimed that the 36 questions it referred to were from a 1997 study that had supposedly

led to at least one pair of strangers falling in love in the lab.

The author of the article tried out the questions on an acquaintance, and they ended up in a

relationship too. Could there be such an easy formula for love? Well, it turns out that those famous

36 questions have a different origin story than what many of us thought.

They were never intended to create romantic connections at all.
