Telling someone you fancy 'I really like you' could make him or her find you more attractive, research suggests.

Has anyone else found this is true for them?

I remember one guy was persuing me for weeks and I had absolutely no interest in him. Then he goes and tells me he loves me and all of a sudden I find I've fallen for him too. Rubbish. I thought this was just me being pathetic, but it's happening again and if there's an article on the beeb about it it must be true(!)

This can be a general lovey dovey thread too if need be.

I don't know, I guess it makes them think of you as a genuine possibility. I have to say though, it's not worked for me very much either way. Generally I've liked someone straight off and they've liked me straight off if we do end up getting together.

If someone tells me they love me I am more likely to get freaked out and run away than realise that actually I do quite like them.

I wouldn't dare say that to a bloke I was interested in, mainly coz the blokes I seem to go after are already taken which is beyond annoying now, which leads to the fact the last time I dared do that was when I was 17 and I told a classmate and he said that he was (wait for it...) already taken! Needless to say I was really embarrassed after that and I don't want to embarrass myself like that again.

im hopless, finished and a munter so i have no chance at all, however i can see how it works. relationships don't always work on attraction alone, by saying this you are showing to them that you are a genuine person. it seems to show that you're sincere.

on the grid.

I'm good with quick reaction response time thing.

I tell a guy "I like you, you know that, right?" and if the reaction isn't favourable (like: "I'm not into you like that" or "I'm gay" or "I'm taken") I do my confused face and go "what are you on about?" and then talk about how they're such a good friend etc. etc. My 3 best guy friends were gained that way. 2 of them were taken at the time, so I was setting myself up to crash and burn and the other one was gay, but he hadn't come out to me yet.

But it has worked out for me. Telling guys I like them. Confidence. Seems to work.

I think confidence and self-esteem can make ugly people look more attractive to attractive people, but attractive people still look attractive if they haven't got the slightest bit of confidence to mostly everyone.

There's no escaping the fact that you'll end up in a relationship with or marrying somebody with the same level of physical beauty as yourself.

I think it works if you're good-looking, but if you're a grotesquely ugly freak like me then it isn't going to happen.

Serin, you a not a grotesquely ugly freak!

And DC, you're not a munter!

Yeah @ what Emma just said.

Stop fishing you two!

I think physical attraction is obviously a vital factor at the outset of a relationship, but there are so many other things involved when you want a long term one. Looks don't necessarily last forever.

We all have our own ideas, but for me a decent sense of humour, serious intelligence (yup, I am demanding), understanding, trust, certain shared interests (but allowing your partner to pursue their own thing every now and then), being able to talk to/live with someone harmoniously, affection, regular quality sex and sharing a similar system of (moral) beliefs are the key aspects to a good relationship.

You sure you weren't facing a mirror?

Haha!

But I agree, though I can take a train to Wolverhampton and be there in 20 minutes.

Damn you for pre-empting my joke!

Hey, great minds and all that.

Told complicated boy I liked him today and he says to me I've now confused him further. I thought I was the confused one because for 6 years I've thought he had no interest in me... then kisses me out of the blue and says he's kind of liked me since I walked in on him singing 6 years ago.

So I tell him I like him too and he gets upset. Because he knows I was planning on going to university single and he's going to Greece for a year anyway. He said he was going away to get over me. Seeing his family was just a bonus. Now it's even more complicated. But I know it's I like him and he likes me. Just really bad timing. Bummer.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.
