I was reading an article in MSN Dating. The article discusses facts researchers have found about love.

Here's a fun one. How many people should someone date before finding their match? Apparently, the magic number is twelve.

Should you wed the first person you fall for? How many people should you wine and dine before you can feel confident enough to say you’ve met your one and only? Believe it or not, mathematics has the answer: A dozen. “Check out and reject 12 people, then pick the next best that comes along, and you’re likely to have a very good match on your hands,” says Clio Cresswell, a mathematician and author of Mathematics and Sex. That’s because when it comes to decision-making, formulas reveal that your chances of picking the right answer improve as you expose yourself to more options. But there does come a point when you are over-researching: If you date and reject 30 or more potential mates, “you've probably met someone that you could possibly have been more than happy with, and passed them over,’ notes Cresswell.

Then, it talks about how when people first feel that strong romantic bond our hormones change. Males testerone actually goes down and a chicks goes up. Also, when we watch a romantic movie with our date, progesterone levels increase in both parties causing us to cuddle more. Ah, cuddles. :)
