If you happen to be heading out to a restaurant on a first date then there are a few things on the menu that might increase your chances of getting a second date: sushi and cocktails.
A recent study by Match.com has revealed people who eat sushi on a first date are 170% more likely to meet up again. Yep, there's no need for them to be looking for any other fish in the sea.
How is this the case? Well, sushi is seen as slightly different and adventurous thus driving up the dopamine levels in the brain.
There are more biological factors at play though because - according to the study - 'sushi contains omega-3, which boosts circulation and alertness. Seaweed contains iodine, which raises testosterone. And wasabi’s active ingredient drives up heart rate. These are all changes that are linked to arousal'.
Moving swiftly on, if you're wondering about what drinks to order then this same study also has a suggestion for you. Drinking cocktails increases your odds of seeing the person again by 130 percent...unless you happen to get absolutely hammered on them. That's never a good idea.
With this research in mind, I'm sure that any people that work in a restaurant that specialises in sushi and cocktails must be hornier than rabbits in heat.
