The hidden science behind dating success:
Psychologist reveals the simple seven-step guide to make sure he comes back for more
Don't head to a bar or restaurant for a first meeting, don't give him too much of your time, and be more interested than interesting, she advises.
The key to getting a man interested in a second date? 'Light touch and lots of laughing,' she advises.
Here Madeleine reveals the seven points behind getting any man to come back for more.
1. Create a great first impression - before you even meet: 'We make snapshot decisions about our partner within a few minutes of meeting them, which are difficult to change,' says Madeleine, who advises creating that first impression before you even meet by calling your date to arrange your night out.
2. Meet for a cup of coffee on a park bench: 'While you might want to impress your date with a hot outfit or lavish dinner, if it's the first time you meet, keep it casual and matter of fact,' says Madeleine, who says that having a coffee on a bench is a far better first date than a fancy night out.
3. Be interested more than interesting: 'Ask questions of your date that demonstrate you are interested in who they are as a person,' Madeleine says. 'Find out about their interests, passions, hobbies, how they take their tea, how they grew up and their favourite memories.'
4. Make yourself laugh: 'If you are bored, your date will be too,' Madeleine says. 'Make sure you have a good time and bring out your inner child if you need to. Dare to be different. Dare to have fun.'
5. Be vulnerable: Share something intimate about yourself, not too deep, but something that shows you have a fear or concern. The more vulnerable you can be, the more you open you will be, and your date will feel safe to open up.
6. Touch your date - ever so softly: During the meeting, touch your date but keep it subtle. 'Focus on the hand when you make a point of something, on the shoulder as you rise to go to the loo, on the knee as you laugh about something,'
7. Playing hard to get is old news: If you get a text, answer within 12 hours. If you are interested, act interested. Be nice. Demonstrate you are fun to be with.
The psychology: According to research, one of the most desirable characteristics people look for in a partner is kindness.
