- [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers. Don't you just love love?
Loving someone is an exciting thing,
and being loved back is even more so.
But what if your partner hasn't said
those magical three words yet?
Maybe there are a few things you could do
to get them thinking about adding those three words
to their vocabulary with you.
Well, there may just be.
Here are seven things to make someone fall in love with you.
Number one: Make eye contact.
Lovers simply love making eye contact.
Who doesn't wanna gaze endearingly
into the eyes of their sweet love?
Keeping strong eye contact is a common behavior
of couples who love each other.
According to a study
from former Harvard associate professor Zick Ruben,
lovers who rated high on his love scale test
spent significantly more time
looking into each other's eyes.
Couples who ranked as weakly in love, on the other hand,
didn't spend as much time gazing into their partners' eyes.
If you start to spend more time
looking into your partner's eyes,
their brain may just get the right idea about love with you.
Many may already relate to this sweet gaze with love.
After all, the last time they were staring off
into someone else's eyes this much, they were in love.
Plus, having great eye contact
is often seen as an attractive trait,
as it can often make one appear confident.
Number two: Share a passion.
A couple that shares a passion together
will likely relate to their partner more.
Talk with them about it and spend time
doing those interests together.
This means more time for bonding
and the inevitable falling in love.
I mean, just sharing a passion won't get them
to fall in love with you.
You need a strong and healthy relationship first.
But it could move them towards those feelings.
If you don't have as many interests,
try starting a new hobby together.
Fall in love with both it and each other.
Number three: Spend time with them.
You probably already had this one in mind.
I mean, if you love someone, you wanna be around them.
In any healthy relationship, it's important
to give each other a healthy amount of time
and attention to grow as a couple.
It's also a good idea to show your partner
you're there for them when they need you most,
but just being around someone more often
may have them feeling all lovey-dovey for you in no time.
According to the psychological study by RB Zajonc,
the mere-exposure effect is a psychological phenomenon
in which people find themselves
preferring someone or something
simply because they developed familiarity with them.
When a person is repeatedly exposed to a certain stimulus,
that person develops familiarity with the stimuli
and therefore prefers its presence,
and they may even love your presence, too.
Number four: Be a true friend.
At the base of a healthy relationship, there is friendship.
If you want someone to love you, your relationship needs
to ride on more than just romance and passion.
A good friend that listens and cares at the end
of a long day is something many would enjoy.
So it's best to work on your friendship with them
as well as your romance.
Number five: Bring them food.
Food? Yeah.
Giving food to your partner may just make them
feel something more for you, according to a study
published in the journal "Frontiers of Psychology."
The study suggests that food offering thus provides a way
of coping with distress and empathic concern,
as well as an effective means of offering social support,
resulting in increased positive affect
across interaction partners and an increase
in interpersonal closeness.
Basically, buy them a burger and fries
along with your roses.
It shows them that you care.
Number six: Love them.
I mean, you do love them, right?
It's important that you don't simply just desire the feeling
of being loved but actually love your partner back.
If you want someone to love you,
you need to first ask yourself, "Do I love them,
or are you just craving the perks of feeling loved?"
Reciprocated love is the best kind.
And number seven: Love yourself first.
If you want a strong and healthy relationship,
the best thing you can do is to love yourself.
You want someone to love you,
but do you give yourself enough love?
It's important to practice self-love, self-appreciation,
and the act of caring for yourself.
If you are content and happy with yourself first,
it will only give off confidence and an aura
that will attract your perfect partner.
So remember, even if your partner
doesn't end up falling in love with you,
you can always fall in love with yourself.
So are you in love, and do you have a hunch
that your partner is in love with you too?
