what is limerence
Psychologist Dorothy Tennov, describes Limerence as an involuntary cognitive and emotional state in which a person feels an intense romantic desire for another person (the limerent object). But in simpler terms, limerence is a state of mind when you know that you like someone but yet at the same time, you canât describe it as love. But you would also be crazy about this person and to the world, you would proclaim this form of affection as a crush. Limerence is a dangerous feeling that just canât be explained. Many would have felt it in varying measures of âcrushesâ. A person who is infatuated by a potential limerent medium (their crush) would undergo mood swings and feelings of intense joy and frustrations.
