You know that stage when your heart starts racing every time your situationship texts “hey”? When your brain basically turns into a dopamine smoothie and you forget to eat because you're too busy thinking about them?

- BY KAVYA THATHSARANI

Yeah, that’s not just a vibe...that’s biochemistry. Welcome to the realm of a Passionate Lover.

This is the kind of love that hits like espresso shots and late-night playlists. It’s wild, intoxicating, and a little unhinged (in the best way possible). Passionate lovers live for that electric connection... the exhilaration, the unquenchable desire, and the total preoccupation with the person. Dopamine floods your brain, giving you that euphoric high... the same chemical rush you get from eating chocolate! It’s all heart palpitations, obsession, and sometimes manic energy that makes you feel alive. But that fire doesn’t burn forever. Studies say that this type of love tends to wear off after a year to 18 months, once your brain decides to stop living in a romantic fever dream.
