And here are the questions referred to in the article.
But love is a many splendored thing. I suspect this might engender instant intimacy but love? In the actual study the phrase titled is 'interpersonal closeness'.
Edit:
Someone turned it into an app.
I'd also be curious what effect this would have on people who are already in love? Or what about a struggling marriage? What if the people were close friends already--some of the information might not even be new. It'd be interesting to see how different groups would react.

I say "I wonder", but I've done it before just to see. :P It was just before sundown; not sure if that was dark enough, but I found that with the right distance (almost nose touching the mirror), if I stared long enough into my eyes, it began to feel dissociative, and it was like I was looking at a different person staring coolly back at me. I normally never look at people that close, so it was a bit unnerving. I should mention that it didn't help with self-confidence nor make me more narcissistic, but maybe I didn't do it properly or at the right distance...?
