Science to love:Â Psychotherapist and author M. Gary Neuman has revealed five ways to make people fall in love with you
1. MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT
The secret to finding love could be as simple as not looking away.
Mr Neuman told Business Insider a study showed people who are in love actually maintain eye contact for 75 per cent of the time.
In doing so, they help create intimacy.

2. LISTEN
It might seem obvious, but people like to know you are interested in what they have to say.
By listening, you are proving you care about what the other person experiences and feels.
It's also important to further the conversation by asking questions and showing compassion.
And don't make it all about you by reacting with your own story. Â
I hear you: Listening, and showing empathy with what your partner has to say, will set you on the path to love
3. VALIDATION
Making someone feel validated, or appreciated, directly leads to falling in love.
In fact, in 48 per cent of failed relationships couples say a contributing factor to their split was not feeling appreciated at home by their partner.
So spread the positivity and lift your partner up, it's worth it.

4. SMILING
Flashing your pearly whites not only makes you look more attractive, it can help people fall in love with you.
In fact, smiling is key in the love stakes.
Mr Neuman said it makes you look 'like a winner' - so what are you waiting for?

5. TOUCHINGÂ

It also makes them fall in love.
Couples who touch each other more are more satisfied in their relationship.
It also helps you to boost intimacy. Â
