Anyone? Yes, Practically Anyone
"I don't get it.. I'm attractive, smart, sensitive, accomplished. Why doesn't he or she flip for me?
Why can't I find love?" How many times have you beat your fists on the pillow asking yourself this
question?
You open this book skeptically, yet harboring hope, for the solution. You read the title: How to
Make Anyone Fall in Love with You.
"That's a mighty big promise," you say. Indeed, it is. But the promise of this book is yours if you are
willing to follow a scientifically sound plan to capture the heart of a Potential Love Partner.
Why, when history is strewn with broken hearts, do we now claim the means to make someone fall
in love with us? Because, after centuries of resistance, science is finally unraveling what romantic
love actually is, what triggers it, what kills it, and what makes it last.
Just as ancient tribesmen saw an eclipse and thought it was black magic, we looked at love and
thought it was enchantment. Sometimes, especially during those first blissful moments when we want
to stop strangers on the street and cry out, "I'm in love!" it may feel like enchantment, but, as we
enter the 21st
century, we are discovering that love is a definable and calculable blend of chemistry, biology, and
psychology. (And, well, maybe a little black magic thrown in.)
As science sets sail in previously unknown seas, we are at last beginning to understand the rudiments
of that "most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions," as George Bernard Shaw
described love. And what makes people want to stay in that "excited, abnormal, and exhausting
condition continuously until death do them part"? The question, and the quandary, of ''Precisely what
is love?" is not new. It is one that has been given serious consideration throughout the ages by
cerebral heavyweights like Plato, Sigmund Freud, and Charlie Brown.
In the darkened Broadway theater in 1950, the audiences of South Pacific were in total harmony
with Ezio Pinza when he pondered, "Who can explain it? Who can tell you why? Fools give you
reasons. Wise men never try." Well, recently, many wise men and women have tried, and
succeeded. Don't blame Rodgers and Hammerstein. When they were composing romantic musicals,
the scientific community was as perplexed about love as Nellie and Emile de Becque singing their
bewilderment about some enchanted evening.
