There
are certain things you can do that might help your date go with
a bang - and turn into something more serious.

It can take between 90 seconds and 4 minutes to decide if we fancy
someone. But this has little to do with your smooth-talking. As
far as attraction goes, here's how we get the message:
55%
is through body language
38%
is the tone and speed of our voice
7%
is through what we say
Stare
into each others' eyes
New York psychologist, Professor Arthur Arun, has been studying
the dynamics of what happens when people fall in love. He has shown
that the simple act of staring into each other's eyes has a powerful
impact.
He
asked two complete strangers to reveal to each other intimate details
about their lives. This carried on for an hour and a half. The two
strangers were then made to stare into each others eyes without
talking for four minutes. Afterwards many of his couples confessed
to feeling deeply attracted to their opposite number and two of
his subjects even married afterwards.
When
we are aroused and interested in what we are looking at our pupils
dilate. In medieval Italy , women put belladonna into their eyes
to make them look bigger. In fact, bella donna means 'beautiful
lady'. However, this is not recommended, as belladonna is a kind
of poison!
Match
their moves
When people are attracted to each other, they tend to sit or stand
in the same way and copy each other's physical gestures. This is
known as 'mirroring'. When someone does this, it marks good communication
and shows us that our interest is reciprocated. Mirroring also happens
when talking to close friends as well as potential lovers, so be
careful as you may misread signs of friendship as signs of love.
