As the saying goes, “love defies all calculation”. Yet,
this apparently obvious base assertion is challenged by the intrusion of
science into matters of love, including the application of scientific
analysis to modern forms of courtship. An increasing number of dating
services boast about their use of biological research and genetic
testing to better match prospective partners. Yet, while research
continues to disentangle the complex factors that make humans fall in
love, the application of this high research remains dubious.

“We fall in love with someone who has a different chemical profile for
dopamine, serotonin, estrogen and testosterone that complements our
own,” explained Helen Fisher, professor of anthropology at Rutgers
University (New York, NY, USA) and chief scientific advisor to

Romantic relationships can begin anywhere. When Cupid's arrow strikes,
you might be at church or at school, playing chess or softball, flirting
with a friend of a friend at your party or minding your own business on
the train. Sometimes, however, Cupid goes on vacation, or takes a long
nap, or kicks back for a marathon of Lifetime original movies. Instead
of waiting for the capricious arrow slinger to get back to work, people
are increasingly joining online-dating sites to assert some control over
their romantic lives.
