<br />
According to American relationship coach [[Lee Wilson]], limerence could also occur between a person in a stable relationship with another person outside of the long-term relationship.<ref name="Wilson"/><br />
<br />
In a limerent fantasy, every detail is passionately desired actually to take place.<ref name="Wilson"/> Limerence is considered to be much more intense than simple infatuation or sexual arousal.<br />
<br />
==Origin of term==<br />
In 1979, the term limerence was coined by American [[psychologist]] [[Dorothy Tennov]], which appeared as part of her book title ''Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love''. The concept had evolved form her work during the mid-1960s, when Tennov had interviewed over 500 people on the topic of love.<ref name="Love and Limerence">Tennov, Dorothy (1999). ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=uPsDAAAACAAJ Love and Limerence: the Experience of Being in Love]''. Scarborough House. ISBN 978-0-8128-6286-7.</ref><br />
<br />
==Meaning according to attachment theory==<br />
Limerence is not exclusively sexual. It has been defined in terms of its potentially inspirational effects and relation to [[attachment theory]]. It has been described as being "an involuntary potentially inspiring state of adoration and attachment to a limerent object (LO) involving [[Intrusive thought|intrusive]] and obsessive thoughts, feelings and behaviors from euphoria to despair, contingent on perceived emotional reciprocation".<ref>Willmott, Lynn (2012). ''Love and Limerence: Harness the Limbicbrain''. Lathbury House. ISBN 978-1481215312.</ref><br />
