Limerence isn't a word globally recognized so don't be surprised if you don't find it in too many places. I found it while digging through some old piles of text on halfbakery. It is defined basically in a medical dictionary as "The emotional excitement of being in love". Someone did some work to illuminate it on a web site dedicated to their wedding in Limerence defined.

I happen to like this term and the implication that there are some concoctions of chemicals in my brain capable of conjuring-up an excited burning love feeling. I seem to have lost my ability to feel such a thing. I have become more analytical about my relationships and don't feel this feeling. The last time I felt something like it was when I got a new puppy a few years back. I now look forwards to feeling it as a father. Maybe it is something that goes away with age? Maybe I am just a cynic? But I like the term anyways.

I'm going to Doug and Amy's wedding on Friday. All I can think about it is the hassle of getting a tux, messing up Halloween, and having to find a place to stay in New Jersey. From what I can tell of the two of them each have some limerence.
