what chemical causes the euphoria we feel when we are in love?

Question

Recently, there have been many posts about the chemicals in the human brain and what activities / foods help them release, which can affect what we feel. However, I’m interested to know if somehow we could trick our brain into experiencing the happiness we feel when we’re in love. Is there anything we could do the feel the euphoria, without actually falling in love?

Yeah, that’s effectively what MDMA/Molly does…. when you’re rolling you’re in love with everyone. But then you get the heartbreak when you come down.
