So the procedure is fairly simple: two strangers take turns asking each other 36 increasingly personal questions and then they stare into each other's eyes

how do you, like divvy up how much money goes to each one? These are like big questions. But every time throughout history

But I just wasn't prepared for the scope of the response. The 36 questions seem to have taken on a life of their own. In fact, the New York Times published a follow-up article

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

If the answer was no, would it make the experience of doing these 36 questions any less worthwhile?

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

any less worthwhile? Dr. Arthur Aron first wrote about these questions in this study here in 1997,

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

the one that I tried last summer, that pairs the personal questions with four minutes of eye contact, was referenced in this article,

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

when they wanted to know if we were still together. So the story that the media told about the 36 questions was that there might be a shortcut to falling in love.

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

you admit to having a lot to lose, and it's true that these questions do provide a mechanism for getting to know someone quickly,

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

So rather than that question, I would propose we ask some more difficult questions, questions like:

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

I would propose we ask some more difficult questions, questions like: How do you decide who deserves your love

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

how do you live with your partner's doubt? I don't necessarily know the answers to these questions, but I think they're an important start at having a more thoughtful conversation

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

without knowing whether or not he will always choose me. I want it to be enough to have asked and answered 36 questions, and to have chosen to love someone so generous and kind and fun

Falling in love is the easy part | Mandy Len Catron

that we acted with precaution. I think a lot of your questions earlier would suggest at least some sympathy to the fact that we've operated that way.
