真的有一见钟情吗?
[ 2007-04-13 11:04 ]

还记得《魂断蓝桥》中的那一幕吗?滑铁卢桥上人们慌乱地奔跑,年轻的上尉罗伊一把拉住了芭蕾舞演员玛拉,躲过了飞奔的马车。四目对望,一见钟情,坠入爱河。现实中的你相信一见钟情吗?这世界上真的有一见钟情吗?

So that knotted feeling in the stomach when you first spot the person you want to share the rest of your life with is not the real thing, according to researchers. True love is a "combination of passion, intimacy and commitment" which does not kick in until about 12 months into a relationship.

A study of 147 couples who met through online dating agency Match.com found that 61 per cent had high levels of the three components - and most had been together a year. Around 16 per cent experienced "companionate love", with intimacy and commitment but not much passion. Those who had just met or had not been together long were going through what the researchers from Bath University called non-love, with low levels of all three ingredients.

Study chief Dr Jeff Gavin said: "To date there has been no systematic study of relationships formed online. Love is an important predictor of success, stability and relationship satisfaction. It is a multi-faceted concept."
