Declaring your love can make you appear more attractive
Telling someone you fancy that you like them could make him or her find you more attractive, new research suggests.
More subtle means of making your attraction known, such as making eye contact and smiling, can have a similar effect, says Aberdeen University psychologist Dr Ben Jones. His study found that social cues - which signal how much others fancy you - play a crucial role in attraction.
In the study, 230 men and women were asked to look at flash cards picturing a face with different expressions - making eye contact or not and smiling or not. The volunteers were then asked to rate how attractive the faces were. The preference for the attractive face was much stronger when people were judging those faces that were looking at them and smiling.

'You float my ark': dating workshops for Christian singles
A new series of workshops offers to help Christians to improve their dating skills from chat-up lines to body language.
Dwindling congregations and a lack of experience in relationships have left many churchgoers struggling to find a partner. Jackie Elton, founder of the workshop agency, said that the number of people using Christian dating sites has doubled over the past year. "There's been a massive rise in internet dating sites as Christians are struggling to find a partner in church," she said. "They know what they want, but many congregations are too small or have a gender imbalance that makes it really difficult for them. As a result they are not getting the kind of experience they need and that's why they are turning to the workshops."
Peter Spalton, known as the dating doctor, said that churchgoers tended to be more reserved and could benefit from tips on how to appear more attractive. Lessons include how to greet someone, how to hold good eye contact and how to judge whether the other person wants to be kissed at the end of the evening.
"The first meeting is crucial in making or breaking a relationship," said Mr Spalton. "The workshops are all about giving people the confidence to make their date a success. They go through the whole process of what is acceptable to talk about and when it is appropriate to try to take things to the next level."
Mr Spalton said that chat-up lines can be a good way to make someone laugh and feel relaxed, but that some Christian jokes might not be well received. Among those highlighted as best to avoid by Christian Connections - an online dating agency - are one-liners such as "You float my ark" and "I didn't believe in predestination until tonight".
Christian Connections asked churchgoers for chat up lines that they had used, or that had been used on them. Examples included:
'Now I know why Solomon had 700 wives. He never met you.'
'Is this pew taken?'
'My parents are home, wanna come over?'
'Is that a thinline, duo-tone, compact, ESV travel bible in your pocket?'
'Let me sell you an indulgence - it's a sin to look as good as you.'
'How many times do I have to walk around you before you fall for me?"
'I like to arrange the substantial Christian section of my bookshelf into alphabetical order. Coffee?"
'The name is Will. God's Will.' A new series of workshops offers to help Christians to improve their dating skills from chat-up lines to body language. ... more -

Premature Facebooking: The 4-Way
About three months ago, a man I really like ended our six-month relationship. Aside from all the normal bad stuff that comes with a breakup, I also had to deal with the stupid detail of us being friends on Facebook. This may not sound like a big deal, but for a while, whenever I logged on and saw that he’d gotten a new friend who was female, or had exchanged wall correspondence with any woman I didn’t know, it drove me nuts.
Like many people, I’m on Facebook all the time, and I just didn’t want to know all those things about him—it made my head spin wondering who those women were and it hurt too much. Now that I’m casually dating again, I’ve been getting Facebook invitations from some of the guys I’ve been on one and two dates with—guys I barely know. I do like a couple of them and want to go out with them again, but I’m just feeling cautious about accepting friend invitations too soon.
