Need assistance guiding Cupid’s arrow to your target? A bunch of red roses is just the beginning.

Allow your body to do the talking.

We all search for the perfect pick up line, however in reality, our body gives of a great deal before we open our lips. It is estimated that when you make somebody's acquaintance, there perception of you is based 55% on your appearance and body language, 38% on your manner of speaking and a mere 7% on what you in fact say.

Thus what can we learn from the experts? There are a number of behaviours that signal “I like you” to another person. Take on an open posture (no folded arms), and mirror another’s posture help create a feeling of kinship. Most people are not conscious of being mirrored, but evaluate those who do it more favourably. And its worth adopting stances that enhance your masculinity or femininity, such as placing hands in pockets with elbows out to enlarge the chest.

You could also indulge in a “gestural dance” synchronising your gestures and body movements with those of the object of your desire, such as taking a sip of your drinks at the same time.
