Can strangers fall in love?

     When I ask this question I don't mean like love as soon you see them but this question came to me as I was scrolling through asap science youtube videos and a video came up titled 36 Questions That Make Strangers Fall in Love. Thinking that hey my blog is all about love I watched and to my surprise the questions were quite deep a lot of it that would take a lot of time for a couple to get to that level. Doing research on this video and how these questions came about there were written by psychologist Arthur Aron a professor in New York he is best known for his work on intimacy with the help of his wife Elaine there was little research on the mysteries of what attraction is so they took it upon themselves to find out. “Given that I was studying social psychology, just for fun I looked for the research on love, but there was almost none.” (Aron) In a later blog post, I will surely delve more into Arthur Arons research and how he and Elaine went about studying something so abstract. 

Watching the video the vulnerability of individual rises as the questions are made to get harder and harder as the experiment progresses. While I was watching it I don't know why but I expected it to be bust I didn't know anything about the research when I first saw it so for some reason I assumed that the two strangers at the end would say something along the lines of "This experiment was cool but I don't want to see him again" or "no I don't think we would work out" because it seemed like a relationship is being sped up ten-fold and stuff that would take months to years for a couple to get to were all said in about 45 minutes. After watching it though it's not artificial at all yes it is speeding up the process of vulnerability forcing to know someone on a much deeper level. I've recently become involved with someone and these questions seem like a great way to get to know someone and also take the pressure off talking about them individually.

When I was with my friend Sarvin we were talking about this topic and she said something that I felt was worth adding to this post when I asked her if she thought that strangers could fall in love? 

"sure why because you dont know everyone and everyone is a stranger at the beginning dummy.It could i'm not saying its gonna happen but theres a possibility. and I only like them if there a trapper and their hot."
