10 surprising tricks to help you bag The One

Unusual ways to get them to like you back

You might not have met the person you want to spend the rest of your life with or you might have already met with The One; whatever your situation these 10 surprising tricks will help you bag The One.

Choose somewhere noisy

So, you’ve finally secured a date with the guy or girl you’ve been drooling over, now what? It’s time to plan the perfect date that will wow your crush into (fingers crossed) a relationship with you. For this date, you need to forget the romantic restaurant you love or that cinema that shows independent films. Instead you need to take your date somewhere noisy, where there are crowds or people and loud music pounding out. This is because, according to a recent study, the noise will cause your date to become ‘excited’, which gives them a racing heart, an adrenal rush and should increase their arousal levels.

Use liquorice

When we say use liquorice we, under no circumstances, are advising you to give the person you like liquorice. It would be a terrible gift. However, what we are suggesting for the guys reading this is that you buy an aftershave that contains liquorice. Why? Well, apparently women are programmed to find the smell of liquorice alluring and considering women are supposed to use scent to choose a partner, this is hugely important.

Keep your head held high

Confidence, confidence, confidence; we hear about it all the time, but don’t underestimate how much it could help you bag The One. A person who exudes self-confidence and who is comfortable in their own skin instantly becomes 100 times hotter than a person who stoops and shyly scuttles through life. If your confidence is in need of a boost give yourself a makeover, do something that shows you how talented you are like learning a new language and replace any thoughts that are filled with self-hate with positive ones.

Get a life

Even if you were George Clooney or Mila Kunis you wouldn’t be able to bag The One if you didn’t have a life that is already full of your own interests and hobbies. This is because people don’t want to become a part of your life if it’s empty. In part this is because if you have no other interests then your date knows that they will become your one and only focus and although that sounds good at first, eventually that probably means you’ll be a clingy, obsessive nightmare. If you don’t have a life, start a class, join a sports team, start a new project or pursue something you’ve always wanted to achieve.

Men vs. women

If you’re already dating the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, but feel like there are some issues in your relationship, it’s time to face these head on and try to work on your problems to make your relationship stronger. There are lots of ways to do this, but one problem that lots of couples fall down on is their ability to understand the opposite sex.
Men and women have different attitudes, perspectives and reactions to one another and this makes communicating and getting along difficult sometimes. The next time your partner tells you how they feel about an issue you are talking (or shouting) about approach the problem from their point of view. This will help you understand their argument better and it will also help you explain clearly why you think otherwise. Arguments often get out of hand because of frustration at not being understood, so this method should also help to keep your disagreements controlled and calm.

Be fun

Although people don’t want to settle down with someone who only cares about having fun, nor do people want to go out with a glum, sensible, dull person. To make sure you bag The One you should show off your fun side and show the person you like how good their life could be if only they’d go out with you. Take them skating, go see a band, surprise them with fun trips away and generally have a good time with one another – remember these early days of dating are all about having a fantastic time together.

Become a scientist

You might be thinking, why on earth do I need to become a scientist to get the guy or girl of my dreams? Well, certain scientists are whizzes with chemistry and chemistry is something you need to work on if you are going to get loved up with your crush. If you go on a date together and there is no chemistry between you both, don’t panic. You can create that magical spark by gently touching their arm or their leg and looking into their eyes. This will be flirty, intense and will give you both a little thrill.

Don’t obsess

So what if you’re single? You can be single and still be happy. Although it may not feel like it now, being single is not the worst thing in the world and you need to learn to take the good bits from your situation and start to embrace being single. This way you will stop obsessing about every date you go on and stop overanalysing situations. You should also then feel more relaxed and laidback, which will make you seem more attractive and you’ll probably be far more likely to get the guy or girl you like.

Buy some food

If you haven’t yet found The One and haven’t met anyone you fancy in ages, start to look in unexpected places, like when you are out buying food. Not only can you tell quite a lot about people by looking at their shopping (small bottle of milk and one toothbrush = single), it’s quite easy to start a conversation with a stranger when food shopping.

Be selfish

This might go against everything you’ve ever heard about relationships, but apparently helping your stressed partner by doing chores they would normally do could be doing more damage than good. This is at least what scientists have concluded from their study. The scientists from the University of Arizona found that when couples made small sacrifices for their partners, even though they were already stressed, it was detrimental because it made them even more stressed. Maybe it’s not a good idea to stop doing your share of the chores altogether, but if you want your relationship to last try to find ways to de-stress.
Are you ready to bag The One? If you are, make sure you check they’re not a commitment-phobe first.
