5 unusual things you didn't know
about love
By Bob Strauss
1. How fast we fall...
Men know they're falling in love after just three dates, but women don't fall in love until date #14.
2. Say my name
If you want to make an instant connection with your date, say his or her name at least twice in the course of the conversation.
3. Looks count
Before a man even speaks a word, his posture counts for over 80 percent of a woman's first impression of him. "Women also take careful note of a man's height, weight, clothing, hair, skin color, age and other factors that far outweigh his stance." -- Dr. Helen Fisher
4. Location, Location, Location!
If a man meets a woman while in a dangerous situation, such as on a trembling bridge, he's more likely to fall in love with her than if they meet in a more mundane setting, such as an office. "This is true, because any kind of novelty, particularly something dangerous or exciting, drives up dopamine levels in the brain. Brain-scanning studies of both men and women show that feelings of intense romantic love are linked with elevated dopamine activity. That's why vacations can be so romantic; novelty triggers the dopamine system and partners feel some of that early glow of intense romance." -- Dr. Helen Fisher
5. Say What?
Remembering bits of information about a person and working them into conversation not only is highly flattering, but also shows real interest.
