1. Your Nose Should Be Part of Foreplay
The blend of lavender and pumpkin turns guys on. But, you don't have tobake a pie and douse yourself in lavender oil. You can create the combination by lighting two candles or spraying these scents on you neck. Oh, and tell your guy to spritz on a cologne with hints of cucumbers or black licorice, since those smells were found to arouse women. Source: Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago
2. Guys Find Women in This Color More Desirable

5. It's All About Timing
Oneweek you might be craving that beefy guy at the gym, but the next weekyou have the hots for the slender guy next door. This could be becauseovulating women prefer men with masculine features, who would make thestrongest, healthiest children.

6. Stress Equals Sexual Attraction
A guy in a high-anxiety or stressful situation is more likely to take a chance onyou. Researchers set out to see how adrenaline and risk played intoattraction by putting a woman on both a shaky and stable bridge. Thestudy found that men who crossed the unstable bridge were more likelyto ask out the same woman afterward than those men who crossed a steady bridge.

7. Size (of His Gut) Matters
Youcan tell a lot about a guy's sex drive and fertility when he's fullyclothed. Men with broad shoulders and a solid chest have a lesser health risk, making them better mates. Meanwhile, guys with a gut have lower levels of testosterone. Low testosterone leads to a lower sexdrive and lower fertility.

Ifa dude touches you 5 times in 15 minutes, you are totally in. A manwill find excuses to put his hands on you to see how you respond. Hemight touch your arm, tuck a piece of hair behind your ear, or playwith your necklace. If you tighten up and freeze, he'll know to backoff.

10. This Move Means He's Smitten
Whena guy mirrors your moves, he's subconsciously telling you he'sinterested in you. Sitting the same way as you, doing the same hand motions, and leaning his head in the same direction are all subtle cuesthat he's attracted. And if he licks his lips after you lick yours,it's a definite sign of desire. Source: A. Kelly-Anderson, Ph.D., American Psychological Association
