Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. I'll probably never use the word again, but I had to look it up and I found: limerence /ˈlɪmɪrəns/ noun 1. (psychology) a state of mind resulting from romantic attraction, characterized by feelings of euphoria, the desire to have one's feelings reciprocated, etc. Word Origin C20: coined by Dorothy Tennov (1928 – 2007) , American psychologist

Woke up this morning to learn another word in our beautiful English language which I didn't know. Limerence rolls of the mouth so well.
