It’s difficult to make someone fall in love with you. Playing M.A.S.H, looking up love spells, or hoping that your crush somehow gets the message that you either completely ignore them or like all of their Instagram pictures (there is no in-between!) are your only other options unless you’re willing to confess your feelings to them and hope they feel the same. The good news is that the highly special psychological love eye trick from TikTok may finally put the days of burning sage and refreshing your feed for the sake of love behind you.
What Is This Love Trick all About?
Okay, so the nicest thing about this little eye dance is how easy the mechanics are. You just fix your gaze on the person’s left eye, then move your gaze downward to their lips or chin, and finally to their right eye. They won’t be aware of it because it’s done swiftly for a few seconds. True love magic!
The one very crucial qualification is that you should only use this strategy when you’re having a one-on-one conversation with the person you’re smitten with. Otherwise, there’s a risk they’ll become preoccupied and miss the full eye-lip-eye movement you make. It’s also preferable to pull out this trick when they’re speaking to you because it’s probable they’ll be focused on you and looking at your response.
The Theory Behind It
You’ve undoubtedly noticed that folks look attractive using the psychology eye trick on TikTok. But, why does someone start to seem seductive only by glancing at various regions of your face? Direct eye contact has a significant role in it, according to psychotherapist and relationship specialist Elizabeth Fedrick Ph.D., LPC, since it transmits a crystal-clear message of fascination.
She explains that during a discussion, maintaining eye contact fosters a feeling of security, attention, and love connection between two people. Additionally, making eye contact with someone who makes you feel secure and connected awakens the social brain.
This method is distinctive not just because of eye contact, but also because of lip attention. Dr. Fedrick also explains that it can be viewed as seductive or flirtatious to look at someone’s lips, especially if there is already some sort of attraction or interest present.
Consider this: Before moving to kiss someone, you must first examine their lips to determine the approximate location of your landing. According to experts, this pre-smooch gaze may be just as effective as the kiss itself since it lets the other person know that you’re thinking about making out with them. This may then prompt them to consider kissing you, and there you have it. Kiss-ception.
