Fisher points to the concept of "limerent excitement" – a term she coined to describe the intense, all-consuming feelings of attraction and excitement that can arise when we meet someone new. "When we experience limerent excitement, our brains are flooded with dopamine, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that make us feel alive and energized," she explains. "It's a sensation that's hard to ignore, and it can create a deep sense of connection with the person we're with."
