Valentine's Day is here, and if you are among those who were not able to win a date, do not give up. Science has a list of things to consider to make that special someone fall in love with you. 

Admittedly, it is quite usual that you would be thinking of flowers, cards, and chocolates to win her heart. But this is not the only way.

On your first date, invite her for a sip of coffee. Research has shown that a warm atmosphere encourages warm conversations. Talk things over coffee, as there is a proven connection between body temperature and personality.

Though looks can "strike like a charm," winning her over using your positive qualities is more effective. According to numerous studies, both men and women tend to be more attracted to a less physically attractive person but with heightened positive qualities. On the contrary, no matter how pretty or handsome you are, if your attitude is mainly negative, you'll end up being alone.

Then you need being a good listener. This principle is quite basic, but only a few are able to do this. In a research conducted on 373 couples by a team from the University of Michigan, those who can listen calmly to their partners despite arguments were found to be less likely to separate. Also, listening is the key to making him or her fall in love with you.

This may sound absurd, but embarrassing yourself is proven to make him or her fall in love with you. How? According to research, 79 percent of those surveyed prefer dates who are honest with who they are instead of those who strive to pretend someone who they are not. So reveal something funny about yourself - a fart or a burp could make her fall for you.

In choosing a partner, you should settle for someone who is similar to you. This debunks the myth about "opposite poles attract." People who have similar tastes, attitudes, and personalities are likely to last a lifetime.
