It’s Valentine’s Week! How to Create Chemistry with the Object of Your Affection

How to Create the Chemistry

It starts with the eyes. Eye contact sets off certain chemical reactions in the brain that can lead to feelings of bonding. While men might try to lock eyes with you, the natural inclination for women is to demurely look away, wait a few seconds, then look back. Lowndes suggest women fight that feeling to look away, and keep your eyes on your target. However, the man’s primal brain thinks an eye-lock may be a challenge (think what happens when you lock eyes with an aggressive dog). So show that you’re granting him alpha status by tilting your head slightly and running your fingers along your neck (the author says this is a primal message of submissiveness).

Give Him”Bedroom Eyes”

You know what “bedroom eyes” are? It’s when your intense affection for another is expressed through your eyes–literally. The pupils dilate to appear bigger. This is a massive turn-on for the primal brain. “Internal thoughts produce physiological responses that your observer is subliminally aware of. While maintaining eye contact, repeat to yourself, ‘I feel you’re like my family and therefore I love you.’ That automatically enlarges your pupils and soften your eyes, making them even more beautiful and inviting. It simulates the admiration, acceptance, and unconditional love that your Quarry basked in as a child.”

Snag Him with Your Sexuality

It’s true–men are always thinking about sex. To be sure, a man pursues a woman because of the promise of sex. And the drive for sex is a powerful one, but you, ladies, have the power to harness that drive. Give him what he wants–not the actual SEX, but the tantalizing thought of it. That doesn’t mean dressing like a street walker, if fact, do just the opposite. Show a LITTLE skin…not a lot. Wear a blouse with just a hint of cleavage. Wear a pencil skirt but cross your legs toward him. Think classy, not trashy. He wants to know this little subtle show is just for him, not for every other guy in the room.

Let Him Sniff Your Pits

This one is funny to me. But according to Lowndes, the pheromones released when you slip him a sniff can be utterly intoxicating to a man. Just remember to shower first and make sure you’re not sweating because you’re nervous–that makes you stinky. Try to find an excuse to graze your arm around his smell zone–adjust your chair or something.
