the science of love
reader's digest said it, not me (just in case someone beats me up)

[ed's note: the following entry does not necessarily means the writer's stand]

1. like seeks like - someone who is like you will increase the possibility of love; research has shown that we gravitate towards people who looks like us! problem for me is, WHERE ARE ALL THE CUTE GUYS?!

2. declare your desire - this is simple; your chances of love are higher if you flatter and is nice to the person you like. rather than throw barbs at your object of interest, the good feeling of someone liking him/her will give you a better go.

3. the eyes have it - the longer you look into someone's eyes, the greater the intensity. dilated pupils are supposed to have a part at this. but if you have small eyes, then too bad for you. and if you're swc (my prof), who can't look at people in the eye, then get a funky hairstyle like his (will post on blog one fine day; he is SO cute)

4. body language - work on looking feminine; preening your hair (lola does it best), smiling affectionately are ways of showing interest. don't overdo it though, you'll look constipated.

5. naming game - names do have an effect of the impression others have of you. if you have tragic names like hitler or hello kitty, then too bad. sarah is not bad, i guess. just think of sarah michelle gellar the kickass buffy with her hot bad and hot face and associate all sarahs will her.

6. keep them happy - try to make your object of interest feel happy whenever they are with or around you as this will condition them to feel positive whenever you are there. if she sees an accident when she's with you, chances are that you will end up like that too: crash and burn.

the science of love is straightforward and it really does give us a formula for finding a partner. but science will always be science (it's an innate dislike for science, sorry), it can never achieve perfection in any ways; so, my take is that we learn to trust the matchmaker from up above.
