New Scientist has identified 6 specific things you can do to make a stranger notice you and even fall in love with you:
Body Language... Use nonverbal body language to signal "I like you." Do this by adopting an open posture (that is, don't fold your arms) and mirroring the other person's posture to signal affinity. Most of us don't even realize we're being mirrored, but when it happens, we think more kindly of that person.
Fear it Up... Take a roller coaster ride together or go to a movie theater and watch a suspense-filled thriller. Science has proven there is a strong connection between anxiety, arousal and attraction. BUT there is a downfall: While someone who is attractive becomes even more so in a setting that sparks an adrenaline rush, those who are unattractive appear even less appealing.
Laugh at Something... Sharing an experience that makes you both laugh creates feelings of closeness between strangers.
Set the Mood with Tunes... If you want to make a woman swoon, turn on the soft rock music. A study shows that women find men more attractive when they listen to soft rock. Maybe check out a pub that usually features bands of that genre!
Work it Out!... Exercise--yeah, a hot, sweaty, out-of-breath workout--increases the levels of dopamine, which can simulate the euphoria of falling in love. Pssst: Chocolate can do the same thing, so if working out isn't your thing, get a cafe mocha!
Eye Gazing... Staring into someone's eyes lights up the brain regions that are associated with rewards. (Just be careful you don't look like a stalker when you try this out on a stranger!)
