There are also already a bunch of studies on attachment style and romantic obsession:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338708581_Why_are_you_passionately_in_love_Attachment_styles_as_determinants_of_romantic_passion_and_conflict_resolution_strategies

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042813017035

Reported r values are 0.19, 0.24, 0.27, 0.47 and 0.52, so weak to moderate correlations, around 10% of the variance.

Just stop assuming limerence is some other thing and there is already a bunch of research on this.

Researchers just didn’t adopt Dorothy Tennov’s terminology. It’s just more common to call it romantic love or passionate love. If you check Google Scholar, for example, Love and Limerence is cited over 1,000 times.
