* Putting your heart on the line when you meet a great new guy can be scary as hell. If only there were a way you could ensure that he's falling just as hard and fast. Well, guess what, there is. "Research shows that activities that stimulate the production of dopamine (the brain chemical that makes people fall in love) can actually evoke romantic feelings," explains anthropologist Helen Fisher, PhD, author of Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love. Inspired by this amorous insight, here are the remarkable findings and how you can use them to make him love you.

Adventure Inspires Amour

Nothing kills a guy's appetite for love toaster than a predictable diet of Chinese takeout and DVD rentals. Instead, do something unexpected, like pulling him into the shower with his boxers on. "Novel and exciting experiences stimulate love and arousal because they instantly raise dopamine activity in the brain," says Fisher.

To suss out his ideal adventure, play 20 questions. "Ask him to name a few things he's been dying to do, like taking surfing lessons," says Douglas Weiss, PhD, author of Intimacy. "Then surprise him by making plans to do it together." He'll associate the fun and excitement of the activity with you.
