Following on the heels of Leil Lowndes's bestselling book How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You, UpDating shows you how to attract a mate who once seemed out of your league. Written in her trademark straight-shooting style, Leil gives you techniques not found anywhere else, such as how to get:

A GORGEOUS PARTNER: Don't swoon too soon. Fabulous-looking folks actually like someone better when they seem unimpressed at first.

A WEALTHY, HIGH-CLASS PARTNER: Decorate your home with class, not crass. You'll learn why a TV or the wrong type of carpeting in your living room can knock you out of the running. In fact, take the How Classy Is Your Home? quiz to see where your dwelling stands on the totem pole.

A PRINCIPLED PARTNER: Don't get caught in one teensy little white lie. One fib and your credibility goes out the door, and the potential mate with integrity soon follows.

AN INTERESTING, ONE-OF-A-KIND PARTNER: Just don't do anything normal. Leil shows you how to be a desirable nut who will win the hearts of those creative types.

Best of all, you'll learn to make the qualities you want in others become a part of your own life. You'll learn to like yourself better, and so will everyone else. And that's probably the biggest benefit of all.

Why do you feel an instant attraction to one person and not another? And how can you help ensure that a connection lasts?

In this book, based on the latest findings in cognitive science, she shows readers how to spark that elusive feeling of chemistry with almost anyone -- and sustain it when the relationship moves to the next level, from marriage to parenthood and beyond.

Although chemistry affects nearly every relationship, few people understand it -- what initiates it, what destroys it, and what makes it last forever. While genetic makeup and past experiences all play a role, there are many things you can do to influence it.

Ultrapractical, How to Create Chemistry with Anyone turns the complex neurological science of attachment into 75 easy communication strategies and unusual techniques that show readers what to do -- and what not to do -- to find and keep love.
