I remember we both felt it, we would literally kiss for hours on end. It was a great feeling, and I nor anyone else I've kissed recently has felt such a strong connection through kissing. After I cheated on that person, the chemical feeling felt broken (Like a soda that lost its carbonation) and we went our seperate ways. I'm a believer, and I'm hoping maybe one day I can find that again.

I'm not really a science person at all. Yet, how I understand it to be is that this chemical attraction is just one part in many things that help aid us in finding a good mate. We tend to forget that our bodies have natural instincts for survival and I believe that the chemicals that aid in attraction are one of those instincts. Where they can be studied scientifically, emotions and society play a large part in how we choose our mates as well. Those too can be studied but they are so much more unpredictable and harder to analyze than bodily chemicals. Just my uneducated opinion. :) lol I would say that the reason sometimes people may be “attracted” to someone and the person not be “attracted” back as much would have to go to an emotional level, past the physical chemical science that helps aid in the finding of a mate.

I've found science to be somewhat (but only somewhat) reassuring and explanatory in the case of love. The pheromone compatibility theory is, realize, only a theory, so while it could suggest that one person is chemically attracted while the other one isn't, this idea is still being tested. Plus, humans are complicated test subjects, so it's hard to say anything sure and true. I'm sorry for your loss -- I hope your research helps ease your broken heart! Thanks for the comment, Kel.

I'm 21 and my girlfriend broke up with me a few months ago, but I'm still totally in love with her. So, I've been putting a lot of critical thought and research into understanding attraction and love blah blah, so I can understand what happened to us. I'm starting to hear more about this pheromone love compatibility theory and I'm wondering-Can one person be attracted to the other on a chemical level, and the other person not be attracted back? Or is it always an equal attraction? Once again great article! Kel Hey great article! I’m 21 and my girlfriend broke up with me a few months ago, but I’m still totally in love with her.
