A new study suggests that, if you're on a date with a person that you're really into, you should go ahead and order that dessert (or at least just sugar water...?!)!
Researchers gave study participants either water with sugar mixed in, or plain water, to drink slowly as they performed a decision-making task.
Results showed those who drank the sweetened water had an advantage when it came to processing romantic words.
The take-home message: you can't go wrong with some sugar if you're on a date with someone you're truly interested in.
Bring on the chocolate cake!
