For those in which "love at first sight" is more like "love at fifth date, after getting to know him/her," you know that time is the best teller. Rarely do two strangers completely disclose their most personal thoughts to each other on the first meeting. But one psychological study [1] published in SAGE Journals looked at whether the process of "creating closeness" could be accelerated by asking a specific set of questions. According to the study, these three sets of questions [2] (total of 36) that increase in vulnerability and intimacy boost the chance of falling in love. To test out this theory, AsapSCIENCE [3] paired two complete strangers — Cam, 24, and Emily, 22 — to ask each other the same questions.

Initially, both individuals were nervous to meet, and one even was worried about possibly hating the other. But as the two went down the list, asking questions as trivial as "When did you last sing to yourself?" to more personal like "What is your most terrible memory?" it was clear that both were growing more comfortable and playful with one another. The final task asked Cam and Emily to stare into each other's eyes for four minutes, and they were pleasantly surprised at how relaxed they were doing so. Not only did they admit wanting to see each other again, but they also shared an authentically sweet kiss at the end. According to the video above, the pair has even gone on two dates since meeting.

Watch the adorable video above for yourself, and try asking the same 36 questions listed ahead. You may start out as a skeptic but end up completely falling in love with the next person you meet.
