Love is an unpredictable road that no one knows how to navigate. Especially for those who love someone but do not know if they do. However, there are some attractive innuendos that can surely help someone fall in love with you.

These innuendos are 36 general questions that you can try asking someone whom you wish to come with and see how it works out for you.

So let’s explore the 36 questions to fall in love.

The Science Behind the 36 Questions

The 36 questions that lead to love were made by researchers Arthur Aron, Elaine Aron, et al. They are made in such a way that they are divided into 3 sets, wherein the first set is a setting stage, which are beginner questions with less intimacy and vulnerability. However, as we move ahead, the questions become more open, honest, and raw, which will push the person in the right direction to answer the questions.

So even when Aron performed this research with a bunch of participants, in the end, they all locked eyes with each other for a good amount of time, which showed they had fallen in love with each other. However, in the original study, two strangers did this study without knowing each other and ended up falling in love and getting married. While it has a chance of happening 50-50, let’s see those 36 questions that lead to love.
