As it turns out, seduction may be more of a science than an art. Wondering how to attract someone special? Here are five scientifically proven ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humor is an attractive quality for both men and women, though for different reasons. Recent research<\/a> shows that women appreciate men who can make jokes, and men prefer women who laugh at their jokes. Why is humor so sexy? A study<\/a> published in Evolutionary Psychology<\/em> suggests that a sense of humor is a signal for higher intelligence, which, in a strictly biological sense, is a favorable trait for a partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being Liked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever had a relationship that you thought was completely platonic, only to discover the other person liked you? How did it make you feel? Science says you probably found the other person more attractive if you learned he or she liked you, even if you even if you ultimately decided against a romance. Psychologist Richard Wiseman<\/a> discovered that one of the best ways to impress a date was to give the impression that \u201cyou were hard to get–and therefore a scarce resource worth having–but really enthusiastic about him or her specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing Personal Info<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you talk about has a huge impact on potential partners. For example, in one study<\/a>, 18 percent of people who talked about travel wanted to meet up again, compared with only 9 percent of those who discussed movies. This is because men and women tend to have different tastes in movies, which often leads to arguments. In comparison, a family vacation or friend\u2019s destination wedding elicits happy memories (or at least funny stories) that have a better chance of leading to a bonding moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, sharing personal, emotional information can create a deep connection on the very first date. In a one study, people who shared intimate details created a stronger bond within the first 45 minutes of meeting than some people experience with their closest, life-long friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing Fun Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nix dinner and a movie and shoot for an activity that gets your blood pumping. Research<\/a> shows that people associate the adrenaline rush and exciting feelings with the person they’re with, so if you bring your partner on an exhilarating hike or a rock concert, he or she is more likely to experience feelings of romantic attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love at First Sight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dr. Earl Naumann<\/a>, if you believe in love at first sight, you have about a 60 percent chance of experiencing it. And of those who do experience it, 55 percent marry that partner, and three-quarters of them stay together. So open up your mind to the possibility of love at first sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
