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.

    Interesting choice of picture :)

    The smiling and eye-contact stuff makes a lot of sense, but isn't it actually much more difficult to behave normally (i.e. smiling and making normal, non-twitchy eye contact) when you fancy someone? Or, um, is that just me? The last time I saw a particularly beautiful person I'm very attracted to I kind of gurned and during the exchange of cheek kisses said, "I just blew smoke in your ear." Smooth.
