Biologists, as they watch animals spotting each other, sniffing, growling, hissing, nuzzling, and finally copulating, observe the same courtship rituals over and over. The identical patterns of proceptivity and aggression repeat themselves time and time again. If the pattern is broken, often copulation does not take place.

It is no different with Homo sapiens (that’s us), but we operate with a serious handicap. Unlike those of lover animals, our brains get in the way of our instincts. In other words, we think too much. We ask ourselves, and others around us, too many questions. ‘Will he think I’m forward? Should I play hard to get? Do I look all right? Is my tie straight? Maybe I should go to the ladies’ room and put on some more lipstick first.’ Shyness often takes over and paralyses us, like a deer frozen in car headlights.

Rabbits have no such reflections. Nor should we, when we spot our Quarry. We must merely follow what research tells us are the right moves when we spot him or her.
