Verhulst, Johan (1984). "Limerence: Notes on the nature and function of passionate love". Psychoanalysis & Contemporary Thought. 7 (1): 115–138. To clarify semantic difficulties and to avoid using existing terminology loaded with either positive or negative connotations, Tennov coined the term limerence to indicate the state of being in love. [...] Before limerence begins, a person may be in a state of readiness and heightened susceptibility for limerence (Tennov, 1979; Money, 1981). Biological factors, such as the surge in hormone levels during adolescence or the level of general arousal and energy, undoubtedly play a role. However, several authors have emphasized the importance of psychological factors such as preceding loneliness, discontent, and alienation (Reik, 1941; Fromm, 1956; Shor and Sanville, 1979). [...] Sometimes, the sense of readiness and longing can be so intense that a critical threshold seems to be reached and the person falls in love with anybody who meets minimal criteria of acceptability (Tennov, 1979).
