A dating expert has revealed the ‘three-second hack’ to make you more attractive.
Matchmaker Louanne Ward, from Perth, Australia, shared that you could be ‘killing your own attraction powers without even realizing it.’
Louanne is one of Australia’s leading dating experts and has created her own matchmaking company to help singles find love.
She recently shared a post with her 26,600 Instagram followers in which she revealed a tip that could help boost your power of attraction.
‘Are you killing your own attraction powers without even realizing it?’ she proposed in the caption of her post.
‘Rushing conversation to fill silence. Thinking more about what you want to say next rather than listening. Fast movements or fidgeting.’
Those ‘simple things’ can become ‘attraction blockers’ if they add up, Louanne explained.
‘Here’s a simple three-second hack that makes people see you as more attractive, more charismatic, and more memorable,’ she shared.
She has dubbed her hack the ‘pause and hold’ and listed the steps for curious daters.

‘When you enter a room, meet someone new, or start speaking— pause for three seconds,’ she detailed.
‘Hold eye contact before looking away. Pause before responding to a question. Let a moment breathe instead of rushing to fill it.’
Louanne explained that her technique worked for three reasons.
‘Pausing shows confidence. People who rush seem nervous. A slight pause signals certainty,’ she broke down.
‘Holding eye contact builds connection. Just two to three seconds can make someone feel an instant pull toward you.
‘It makes people lean in. When you don’t rush, your words carry more weight.’
The dating expert continued: ‘Most people never use this because silence feels uncomfortable. But the moment you learn to own it, you change the way people see you forever.’
Relationship and psychosexual psychotherapist Clare Faulkner previously shared six ways to turn yourself into an object of desire that aren’t about how you look.
She gave 3-second hack to make you more attractive and memorable. One step was to hold eye contact before looking away
One of her tips was to focus on your feelings, not on how you look.
‘Confidence is undeniably attractive. When you exude self-assurance and you feel comfortable in your skin, others are naturally drawn to you,’ she explained.
‘It’s not about dressing “well” or “sexily,” but presenting yourself in a way that suits you.’
Another tip was relaxing your stance and making yourself appear welcoming to others.
‘Think about cultivating a relaxed posture, making eye contact, smiling often – using your body in a way that’s welcoming and draws people in. Use gestures and facial expressions to convey warmth and interest,’ she advised.
‘This also ensures that confidence doesn’t tip into arrogance (although that too can be sexy, especially if we’re up for a fling rather than marriage)!
‘But usually, when there’s a conversational spark, it’s not because one person is talking nonstop. There’s balance, an equal sharing, a give and take – a fine dance is taking place.’
