How Do I Know I'm in Love?

Dear Momofuku,
How do I know when I'm in love?
-- Anonymous

Dear A,
When Momofuku Ando set out to invent instant ramen, he insisted that the final product meet the following five criteria: 1) tasty; 2) able to keep for a long time; 3) ready in 3 minutes or less; 4) economical; 5) safe and healthy. If you convert number 3 to "happens without much drama," you can use the same five criteria to judge when you're in love.
