It is interesting to me that since my medication has kicked in and my moods are more stable, I am far less inclined to fall into infatuation. Case in point, I started dating someone before being medicated, and once medicated my feelings became far less intense. I still really like the person, but I am not finding myself being swept up into it.
Even more so, I can enjoy the company of others more since the mixed episodes have been somewhat controlled. The bad aspect to this is that the euphoric feeling of oxytocin (the chemical our brain releases when we "fall" in love or infatuation) combined with hypomania was pretty wonderful, as I recall (while it lasted). Still, I am far less likely to hop on an airplane and move across country in the thralls of a developing relationship. I guess I am a little ambivalent.

If we wanna talk sciency babble, love could be very much be described as chemical imbalance (I will not get on to rant about "animalistic, hormone fueled sexual love", but I personally consider it something scary and weird. And seems my body is lacking that love hormone producing gland, so i cannot really judge).
