How To Make A Girl Fall In Love With You

So the title is “How To Make A Girl Fall In Love With You” but this actually works for men or women. Stare into their eyes. Yup, that’s it. It dramatically increases the chances of love: In two studies, subjects induced to exchange mutual unbroken gaze for 2 min with a stranger of the opposite sex reported increased feelings of passionate love for each other. In Study I, 96 subjects were run in the four combinations of gazing at the other’s hands or eyes, or in a fifth condition in which the subject was asked to count the other’s eye blinks. Subjects who were gazing at their partner’s eyes, and whose partner was gazing back reported significantly higher feelings of affection than subjects in any other condition. They also reported greater liking than all subjects except those in the eye blink counting condition. In Study II, with 72 subjects, those who engaged in mutual gaze increased significantly their feelings of passionate love, dispositional love, and liking for their partner. This effect occurred only for subjects who were identified on a separate task as more likely to rely on cues from their own behavior in defining their attributes.

How do you know if eye contact is flirty?

Normal eye contact lasts for about three seconds. However, if you can hold your crush's gaze for four and a half seconds, they'll get a powerful cue that you're flirting with them. You can even hold it longer, if you like, as long as your crush doesn't look away.

Article Summary

X

Eyes are said to be windows to the soul, so it’s no surprise that eye contact is an important part of flirting. If you’re attracted to someone, you’ll probably be looking their way a lot, but when they meet your gaze, don’t look away instantly. Instead, smile and hold their gaze for a second or 2. You can also touch your face or play with your hair before you look away, which can seem more flirty. When you’re talking to someone you like, try to hold their gaze for longer than you would with other people. 3 or 4 seconds should be fine. That way, it’ll be clear that you’re attracted to them and not just being confident. For more tips, including how to make coy eye contact to intrigue someone you like, read on!
