It wasn’t love, it was oxytocin
I fall in love in like 2 seconds. Or in like 2 orgasms. And today I know why. It’s because of a little hormone called Oxytocin and it’s tricking women’s minds into falling for anybody with whom we have amazing sex. In layman’s terms: it’s the thing that happens when Avatar and the trees and pterodactyl birds have awkward hair sex.
Here’s Wikipedia’s real definition for all you wanna-be nerds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin
So how do we, as women, figure out how to guard our hearts from being broken and detach ourselves from wanting to get naked so early on in a relationship? We need to have a chance to really bond with our partners before that thing that happens when he decides he’d rather go back to living life without us again. And more importantly, how the heck do we know that they’re good in bed if we’re not jumping down that sexual rabbit hole that my dating coach (and author at BTS), Nicole has spoken loads about to me?
Please, I am in no way able to finish this research and self-preservation alone and welcome any answers or commentary that may have worked for you in the past. I’m a ways away from finding that person who I deserve to spend the rest of my life with. I’d just like to understand exactly what goes through men’s heads while we’re tripping on a love molecule and they’re reevaluating their situation.
You’re welcome to remain anonymous, but let me know what’s on your mind during Snowpocolypse II: Electric Igloo
Status update: I rejoined Match.

KH,
So it’s a mind/drug thing that is going on…interesting! I don’t know if I can help pry open a man’s brain but I can tell you that there is a precarious balance on when it’s the “right” time to get naked…definitely not the first or second date and probably not the third either…there is no magic answer and I don’t think reading Cosmo will help either…timing is everything in life and sex doesn’t escape that lesson.
Cheers,
Greg
