We've all been there. You're on your third-fourth-fifth coffee ☕ run. As you're waiting in line, you notice the *really* cute guy 👨 standing next you. Suddenly, he looks up and your eyes 👀 meet. Whether it's love at first sight or a missed connection on the train, we've all felt that magnetic pull toward someone. You can't put your finger 👇 on it but there's something about him that makes you want to get to know him.

Sometimes, the attraction seems unexplainable. Why are we drawn to certain people 👥 over others, especially when they may be the complete opposite of our type? What we don't realize is that being attracted to someone is about more than just the physical.

1 The Bigger Your Limbal Ring ⭕ is, the More Attractive You Are

Are you a sucker for eye contact? The reason why you swoon over your guy's baby blues may have to do with the size of his limbal ring, which is the dark ring around your iris. According to Psychology Today, most people are drawn to people with a thicker limbal ring because it signifies vitality.

No, really. In weird news, recent studies have shown that guys find curvy women even sexier when they're stressed 😨 or hungry 🍽.

6 If You Put the Moves 🙆 on Him First, That Means You Aren't Picky

Being able to approach someone you like, especially if he's a total stranger, takes a lot of confidence and courage. If you're a flirting 😏 pro who loves making the first move, this shows that you are open to meeting people outside of what you usually go for.

7 Releasing Your Inner Siren 🚨 with a Red Wardrobe 👗 Will Guarantee You a Date
