So, on how to make someone like you.

Telling a prospective partner “I really like you” is likely to encourage the chosen target to reciprocate the feelings.

Research revealed that if a person shows someone their feelings, through eye contact, smiling - or simply telling them - they are more likely to return the sentiment.

A truly amazing finding, don’t you think? After all, it’s been so known to be successful, that scowling in the corner technique, that one where we scream to be left alone?

Although one tip from one rich in maturity: check for the spinach between the teeth before the smile thing.
