Fantastic question.
Hmmmm...
I would say whatever emotion corresponds to feeling desired and coveted. The trick is making her feel desired and coveted from a place of control, not desperation or manipulation.
With insecure women, they view very aloof guys (men who manipulatively withhold attention) as prime targets. It drives them to seek that attention from them. If they can "conquer" the wall that man puts up, the prize they get is that feeling of being desired. Like they earned it. Otherwise, they question themselves (their beauty, appeal, etc...). These types will go to great lengths to milk validation from men who they consider to be high value (via manipulation, needy behavior, etc..). It's a cycle. The man is often times manipulative with his calculated use of withholding/granting attention, and the woman is manipulative in her own way in trying to get it. Like attracts like.

Honesty and emotional maturity: 0
With confident, quality women, they have the same need to be desired. However, they prefer it if a man is more direct and honest with his approach. But here's the catch: The man HAS to be confident. He has to genuinely go in not giving a fuck whether she responds favorably or not. Any chump can go up to a woman and tell her she's beautiful and he'd like to meet her. But not every man can say that without expecting approval or sexual reciprocation in return. A man who can express his desire and interest clearly, without expectations, is without a doubt more valuable than a man who requires her approval as the carrot dangling in front of his face. His approach/interaction MEANS more (and she can intuitively sense intention via sub-communication). Also, guys who play the "Hot/Cold" game with very attractive, confident women are often discarded quickly.
Other emotions women like to feel:
1). Exhilarating uncertainty and intrigue ("Does he like me? He smiled... I wonder if he has a girlfriend.. OMG HE'S WALKING OVER.").
2) Certainty (as in non-needy commitment).
3) Obviously arousal (which can be triggered a million different things, I swear).
I'm sure there's more. Good question though. I'm putting together my own theories of attraction, and this is one of those questions that's fun (yet challenging) to answer.
I'd also like to add that, from my experience, (with insecure women) it's best to let go of the usual routines and instead act genuine, give compliments and just hand her what she truly wants: exclusive attention. It'll pay off 80% of the time.
