Psychologist Dorothy Tennov coined the term limerence in her 1979 book to describe an involuntary state of intense romantic attraction marked by intrusive thoughts, fear of rejection, and idealization of another person. Those patterns often show up as butterflies, preoccupation, jealousy sensitivity, and romantic daydreaming. A 2010 review in Psychological Review notes that early-stage attraction can feel intense even when long-term compatibility is still unknown.

Sample item: rating Often on thinking about them when you are trying to focus on something else raises your mental preoccupation bar. Rating Almost always on feeling completely calm when plans get canceled lowers your score through a reverse-scored item. Stress, rebound timing, and limited time together can temporarily lower scores without meaning you do not have a crush.
