Five things to say to a crush that the channel claims raise attraction: jokes, thanks, secrets, compliments, and questions.
Key points¶
- Crack a joke: a 2015 Evolutionary Psychology article is cited claiming humor signals a sociable, agreeable personality, and that pairs who laugh together are more interested in each other. Laughter releases endorphins; people like those who laugh at their jokes.
- Say thank you: gratitude makes people feel respected and recognized. Cites psychology/neurology professor Antonio Damasio that gratitude rewards generosity and maintains healthy social behavior.
- Share a little secret: intimate disclosure builds a bond. Cites research going back to 1994 that people who self-disclose more form more meaningful bonds.
- Give compliments, especially for things they don't often hear (artistic skills, a book choice). A 2017 Frontiers in Psychology study is cited claiming women prefer men who compliment with metaphorical, creative language.
- Ask questions about their hobbies, bucket list, or music. A 2017 Harvard study is cited linking question-asking to being liked.
- Closing advice: relax, be honest and genuine.
