Have you ever loved? How much have you loved? Modern science can measure how intense your love is by measuring the chemicals that's produced in your brian when you think of the one you love. Very moving video.

Excerpt from Wikipedia about the chemicals that's related to the experience of love:
Studies in neuroscience have involved chemicals that are present in the brain and might be involved when people experience love. These chemicals include: nerve growth factor, testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin. Adequate brain levels of testosterone seem important for both human male and female sexual behavior. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin are more commonly found during the attraction phase of a relationship. Oxytocin and vasopressin seemed to be more closely linked to long term bonding and relationships characterized by strong attachments.

Dating Book Recommendations
Over the past 4 years, I have read many books on dating and relationships. Here I'd like to share a few of my favorite that has benefitted my own life tremendously. Enjoy!
Sworn by lots of men as the best practical pick up book ever. Although I do not subscribe to the philosophy behind it, it is a great book to help men who do not know how to effectively approach a woman to start on their game. I'm recommending this book esp to women, for them to be able to tell genuine interests, v.s. some one who is just playing a game.
The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That LastsThis is the BEST relationship book that I have ever read. I think this is a must read for everyone in order to maintain a ever lasting, loving, and romantic relationship. This has been translated to over 36 languages, and sold over 5 million copies.

If you think the book might be too long, take a quick a look at Dr. John Gray's Tedx Talk here.
Great book detailed basic manners for men. What to do to leave the impression of a gentleman. Toilet seat up for down? :)
- "He sends you flowers when you really need is time to talk. She give you a hug when what you really need is a home-cooked meal. The problem isn't your love life, it's your love language!"

Nerd Love! Pick your coefficients, and see the love.
sqrt(cos(x))cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)(4-x*x)^0.1, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
Well, if you want to find out, search it on google. You can even play with the coefficients and pick your preferred shape of love. Only I wish you can pick the color as well. Or maybe it is only presented in the color of engineers?
Challenge: Can you come up with more equations to add an arrow to the heart?
