The seed of love

You can engineer love quite easily with just a few tricks, but only if a seed is already there. The skill lies in making the seed blossom.

The seed can take various forms.

1. Physical attractiveness. Whether you are male or female, if you are physically attractive, this is something to build on.

2. An intimate relationship. You can often turn an intimate relationship into love. This may sound strange to readers in Europe and the Americas, where it is often assumed that love must come before intimacy. In fact, however, in many non-Western cultures, marriage comes before love, and certainly before sexual intimacy.

3. Close friendship. This is a seed that is usually hard to germinate, especially if not accompanied by physical attractiveness.

4. Flattery. This may work with older or less attractive women and is a technique used by gigolos. This may lead to intimacy, which is easy to build on.
