Time brings two individuals closer together. The article “What happens in our brains when we’re in love,” supports this when it says, “You look up at her. She fits within the love map… And all of a sudden, your brain starts flying through this very subjective list of criteria… And if that person makes the cut….” (Fisher 1-2) “She fits within the love map,” means that the girl’s appearance fits into the man’s criteria list. Infatuation is emphasized here because the man merely had a glimpse of the girl, and he is in love with her. This demonstrates love at first sight. However, when the man starts going through the “list of criteria” and gets aquantained with the girl, true love can evolve from infatuation because now he understands her personality, as well as her facial appearance. Time will strengthen the relationship because over time they will establish a bond together. The poem, “Why should a foolish marriage vow,” agrees with this because it says, “If I have pleasures for a friend, And further love in store.” (Dryden 9-10) Over time, “pleasures” or infatuation can develop into true love. The words “further love in store” demonstrates a potential for love. The usage of the word “further” depicts that over time two people can bond with each other. Afterwards, they can find true love together. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep: the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.” (Shakespeare 38) Juliet compares her “love” for Romeo to being “as deep” as the sea. Her love is “infinite:” meaning that it will live on forever. This indicates that Juliet’s love is lasting. Even though they met merely hours ago, Romeo and Juliet can progress their infatuation into true love by spending time together. They could acquire more information about each other, thus
