Most motorcycle gangs require a 1 year hang around, plus the introduced person has to be known for at least a year.
The conventional wisdom is to wait 2 years to marry someone, and 1 year at the absolute bare minimum if you are old or at the edge of the fertility window or in some extenuating circumstance.
This seems somewhat confirmed by the fact it outlives the measure of these long-running scams. Perhaps the conventional wisdom is correct.
for the average person, the limerence phase -- where your brain produces dopamine instead of oxytocin when around your partner -- lasts around 20-26 months.
aka the honeymoon phase. wait until the dopamine hits stop and then see where you stand with that marriage...
I've never heard limerence described in physiological terms like this before, do you recommend any sources for more on this?
