I’m currently studying for my Individual in Society class and came across this in my notes. It’s called the “Romantic Love Ideal.”

The following five beliefs are known collectively as the romantic love ideal:

1. True love can strike without prior interaction (“love at first sight”).
2. For each of us, there is only one other person who will inspire true love.
3. True love can overcome any obstacle (“Love conquers all”).
4. Our beloved is (nearly) perfect.
5. We should follow our feelings—that is, we should base our choice of partners on love rather than on other, more rational considerations. 

Number 2 is my favorite.
