Love interferes with analytical thinking.
Aha! Proof that love makes you blind! Beware, everyone. :)
Here's a short excerpt:
"The clever experiments demonstrated that love makes us think differently in that it triggers global processing, which in turn promotes creative thinking and interferes with analytic thinking. Thinking about sex, however, has the opposite effect: it triggers local processing, which in turn promotes analytic thinking and interferes with creativity."
