(also spelt limerance, apparently)

Why is this not a more common word? My friends and I in highschool made up the term "lurve" for this very thing, because we couldn't think of another word for it. To quote une monsieur, it is "a staple emotion of teenage romance!"

Anyhow, read the article a bit. I found it really insightful. I suppose her book would probably be as well.
