A closer look

You do not need a soulmate to experience the biochemical rush of romance; you just need to visit the candy aisle. Dark chocolate contains phenylethylamine, the exact same organic compound your brain aggressively pumps out when you are deeply infatuated with another human being. It forces a sudden release of dopamine and endorphins, mimicking the euphoric high of romantic love. It is much cheaper than an elaborate date night, and the chocolate will never ghost you.
