The Double Attraction Paradox

This episode contains EIGHT non-verbal communication cues to demonstrate interest, rapport, and attraction. By delving deeper into specific actions such as mirroring, proximity, eye contact, and other body language, listeners of this podcast can use these signs to practice keen observation and implement non-verbal cues in real conversations. One can benefit from understanding another person's feelings or intentions to predict platonic or romantic interest.

In this chapter, I will introduce the surface-level definition of a crush, and a couple of verbal and non-verbal communication cues that hint at possible reciprocation. Furthermore, I will briefly explain each key vocabulary term, connecting its relevance to other chapters. I may add a few highlights of my experience based on my reading of the Bhagavad Gita. I also emphasize certain words to establish my current stage of having a crush. Altogether, this lesson provides enough context for listeners to analyze the next chapter and, at the same time, understand my definition of a crush.

This introduction introduces the purpose of this podcast, the schedule of each episode, and an introductory poem that I created in World Literature class for Valentine's Day to present themes of euphoria, limerence, and inner thoughts throughout the next couple of chapters.
