There is an element to relationships and dating that is essential for a romantic connection.
FUN.
Dr. Helen Fisher wrote for YourTango quote:
"Fun is good for the mind and body. And fun is good for love — for a legitimate scientific reason. Any kind of novel game is likely to drive up dopamine in the brain — the natural stimulant that can make you more susceptible to romance."
Having fun and playing games serves a bigger purpose too. You can really get to know someone and show who are too.
