 Do you sometimes wish you could make a love potion or a magic spell to make someone instantly like you? Waiting for them to notice you while fantasizing about them can be so frustrating. Luckily, you don't have to leave everything to chance. Maybe you can't put thoughts into their head, but you can try out some psychological tips and tricks that are proven to be effective when it comes to attraction. So without further ado, here are 6 attractive habits to attract your crush. Number 1. Have some jokes on you. Some find humor to be the most important trait in a romantic relationship, and research has shown that people who have a good sense of humor are perceived as more attractive than intelligent people. While sharing a good laugh with somebody, you're actually creating a bond and connection between you. A good sense of humor is sexually attractive as it expresses wisdom, creativity, and other positive traits. You can also be flirty and playful if used well, and not over the top. By cracking a joke, you could break the tension, create a positive and vibrant atmosphere, and appear confident. And making your crush laugh could definitely give you some bonus points. Number 2. Show interest in what they like. Studies have shown that people love talking about themselves. It makes them happy and content, and they especially like it when others show interest in what they have to say. So ask your crush about the band on their t-shirt, and if they could send you some songs to listen to, or maybe ask about their favorite sport, and if they cheer for some club, or even their thoughts on a recent news story. While listening, nod to show your listening. Repeat some things they said, and ask them to clarify if you don't understand and try to remember little details for future conversations. This way, they'll know they have your full attention. The more you ask, and the more you show you're actually interested in what they're saying, the more they'll be drawn towards you. Number 3. Check them out to see a scary movie. Have you ever watched a movie where a couple on a date went to see a horror movie? Well, whoever of the two planned the date was a real psychologist at heart. Our brain processes intense emotions like fear and excitement on a cognitive level, and our bodies respond on a psychological level. When you watch a scary movie, all the excitement your mind and body are feeling creates a strong emotional experience. Somewhere between eating popcorn and jumping with fright, our minds can get things kind of mixed up. According to Dutton's and Aaron's study from 1974, this is called the misattribution of arousal. What happens is that your mind takes the signals from your body, increased heart rate, faster breathing, sweating, blushing, and instead of connecting it to fear from the movie, it connects it with attraction. So if you took your crush out to see a horror movie, their mind and body might make them feel like they're attracted to you. Mimic their body language Have you ever heard of the term mirroring behavior? It's a term often used in social psychology, and it means matching your body language to the other person, also known as the chameleon effect. This psychological trick has been proven to increase the liking of people in an interaction. Basically, your crush could like you more if you mirror their behavior. To mirror or match their body language, first pay attention to their nonverbal cues. Do they often run their fingers through their hair or keep their arms crossed? And then you just repeat it. Wait for a few seconds and cross your arms too, or also touch your hair. But it's important to remember that you shouldn't overdo it. Make it subtle to be successful. Surprise them with a small act of kindness Small acts of kindness are one of the best ways to tell someone that you care about them without directly telling them. You can show them you listen to them, that you're eager to know what they like and that you want to make them happy. Maybe you remembered their favorite chocolate and bought it for them out of the blue. Or perhaps you know their favorite music genre, so you shared a customized playlist with them. Or you made nice artwork for no apparent reason. They will surely appreciate those nice gestures. Of course, you don't want to overdo it. Getting them gifts and favors every other day or buying expensive things could scare them away. Find a balance and show them how much you care. At number six, make it known you're available. Of course, nobody will approach you if they're unsure if you're available. So while trying out other tricks, make it known that you're single and there's nobody to compete with them. If they ever decide to finally take you out on a date, you don't want to just say, hey, I'm single. Instead, try to make it a joke. For example, saying, I'll be taking myself for a Valentine's Day dinner this year. Even better if you say it while giving them a small glance. As stated, there is no magical spell or potion to make someone like you instantly. It depends on many things, like the person's taste, sexuality, priorities. But by being a kind and confident person, together with trying out some of these simple psychological tricks, you can increase your chances. Good luck. What do you think about these tips?
