How to make anyone fall in love with you?

You probably don't get why you're still single. After all, you're cute (or so people tell you); you're fun to hang out with, smart, intelligent, have a GSOH (great sense of humour) and best of all, you don't have a criminal record or a stint in rehab under your belt. So what's going on? Why can't you find true love? Where the heck is it hiding? And why are you stuck vacillating between a world where all your friends are finding true love, getting hitched and living happily ever after while you're still trawling the nightclubs, stalking potential lovers on Facebook, (heck, anything will do!), and attending a gaggle of disastrous blind dates, fix-ups, meet-ups and speed dating events in hope of finding your true love?

Well my dear readers, it appears you're not alone. Hence a gamut of scientists, psychologists and authors have dared to venture out into the menacing world of Planet Dating in order to uncover the holy grail; the keys to making anyone fall in love with you ...
Now you're probably thinking that it's impossible to make someone fall in love with you. You're also most likely thinking that it's a preposterous notion that's about as feasible as getting a bloke to a Lady Gaga concert.

To make it simple to follow,  four easy-to-follow steps. 
Firstly, know what makes up interpersonal attraction. Then put together information about your "Quarry" (your target of affection). Employ "sophisticated, often subliminal, communication techniques to meet his or her conscious and subconscious needs". And finally, nab the Quarry with "your spicy perception of precisely what he or she wants sexually." There's the first impression, where we all we're being judged in the first few seconds of meeting someone.

There's the ego, where subtle compliments will make the object of your affection feel special and "can convince Quarries what they've suspected all along: 'I am different. I am wonderful. And to thank you for recognizing this amazing fact, I'll fall in love with you.'"

And then there's the "WIIFM" Principle of Love, which stands for "What's in it for me?" In other words, you must convince the person you're courting that you bring something valuable to the table. That's because upon meeting you, they'll unconsciously be calculating your "comparable worth, the cost-benefit ratio of the relationship, the hidden costs, the maintenance fee, and the assumed depreciation". And once they've sized you up? They'll then ask themselves, "Is this the best offer I can get?"

Wow. That's precisely the mentality that comes to mind when I think about speed dating which seems to be shaking up the single scene this Valentine's Day. After all we're given approximately six minutes to impress someone of the opposite sex (and decide whether they've impressed us enough to warrant a "yes"), and I guarantee all your prospects will be thinking what's in it for them.
Which brings me to my question of the day; how would you impress in six minutes or less? One blogger is dying to know the answer and writes this to me in an email:

"If you only had 6 minutes with a person to figure out whether you wanted to see them again, how would you use them? Would you prepare at all, or would you wing it? Would you prepare questions, a speech, or a comedy routine? Is it more important to talk or listen - because you want to get to know them but you also want to make sure they get to know you otherwise they won't want to see you again! And what do you emphasise about yourself - the past, the present, your ideas for the future? How much can you get in 6 minutes - and what can someone do in 6 minutes to really turn you off or on? What are you on the look out for?"
