Humans are inherently social beings, driven by the need for love, which is largely influenced by oxytocin, the bonding hormone. Love manifests in different forms, with romantic love being the most complex, encompassing three distinct stages: attraction, infatuation, and attachment, each governed by different hormones. The infatuation phase, characterized by intense feelings and longing, typically lasts around one year, while the attachment phase brings a sense of security and deep connection.
