Limerence is a term coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov to describe an intense, often involuntary state of romantic infatuation — marked by intrusive thoughts about a person, a deep longing for reciprocation, idealization, and mood swings tied to small signs of interest or rejection. It's different from love, though the two can and often do overlap, especially in the early stages of a real relationship.
This test measures both separately. You'll get a Limerence score and a Love/Secure score, because these aren't opposite ends of the same scale — you can feel both at once, especially early on. What matters most is the gap between them, and your results page will help you understand what that gap is actually telling you.
