Question:
I've been in a relationship with my man for over 1 year and I don't think it's going anywhere. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? What can I do to move our relationship forward and take it to the next level without making him pull away?
Answer:
If your goal is to make your man commit and take your relationship to the next level then you need to know what sorts of things work for him. One of the biggest mistakes that women make in their relationships is that they treat men almost the exact same way they treat other women. The problem when women treat men like women is that men react to things differently and as a result when a man repsonds in a way that a woman doesn't expect, she's not sure what to do or how to react to it. The core issue here is that women and men evaluate relationships and their solutions differently and as a result their perceptions about everything will be different as well. If you really want to get your man to fall for you then follow the 5 simple yet powerful methods I've listed below so that you can avoid the mistakes that most women make so that you can take your relationship to the next level.
Get Your Own Life
One way to make sure that your man falls for you is to put your own interests first when it comes to your relationship. One of the many relationship mistakes that women make is that they think they need to bend over backwards for their men and do everything he wants. The problem with this is that when women give and give by the time the day is done, there's nothing left in the tank. Somehow they seem to think that if they give everything to their man that he'll appreciate and value them more. Now this might work ok when it comes to dealing with other women, but it doesn't work when applied to men. If you really want to get your man's attention and make him fall for you, sometimes you need to be a little selfish.
Your man will value and respect you more if you're independant and not scared to live your own life. Now don't get me wrong here. This doesn't mean that you take advantage of the situation but it does mean that you should feel comfortable to do your own thing without him. Time apart from your man will make him nuts as he spends his time alone missing you. If he asks what you're up to or where you're going, be truthful and honest with him or else this technique will backfire. If he complains about not spending enough time together take this as a sign that you're on the right track. Just remember to make the time you do spend together has value and brings you closer together.
Take Your Time
Don't rush things. If you really want to have a successful relationship with a man then take your time with things. As long as your man feels comfortable with you then he'll be happy and want to stay. So make sure that the time you spend together is fun and builds and strengthens your relationship at the same time. Also, I can't tell you how important a sense of humor is to a relationship. People naturally gravitiate to those that they enjoy so make sure that your relationship is filled with laughter and love. Try hard to be as femenine as possible when you're around him. This includes how you dress, how you walk and how you do your hair. One of the things that guys love the most is a lady who does it all. One minute she's rugged, doing outdoor activities and not scared to get dirty and then the next minute she's as femenine as could be. After you've spent some good time together, pull away and let him miss you.
Can you see why it's important for him to be comfortable with you? When you pull away from him after being together it makes him miss you and want to be with you because he knows he can be himself around you.
Be His Personal Cheerleader
One of the best ways to ensure that your man falls for you is to be supportive of whatever he does. It doesn't matter if it's job related or fun related, men love and need a supportive woman. Men are wired to take on the world and they want you there to watch and support them as they go about this. If you give him the space he needs to do this, he'll begin to open up to you about his goals as well as other things in his life. So as you can see, being his personal cheerleader will make him feel validated and important in the relationship which will cause him to open up and become more intimate with you.
Don't Take Him For An Emotional Ride
One of the scariest things for a man is dealing with the emotional rollercoaster that women take them on. I think it's important for you to understand that men don't wake up every morning and come up with ways to make you upset. It's simply a function of how men and women are different and as a result they react to things differently. So be patient with him. He know's he's going to upset you from time to time but it's not intentional. When he pulls back after a fight or confrontation, be patient and don't panic; he'll come back. When you both understand how to deal with eachother's emotions you make your relationship stronger based on trust and mutual understanding and when a man feels understood he feels loved.
Men Need Space
Do you remember at the start of the article how I mentioned that men and women were different and the biggest mistake women make is treating men like women? Well this applys especially to conflict and how both men and women deal with it. Since women are more emotional than men, they like to talk things out and try and resolve the issue. Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't do this and that it's bad, however men need some space to think things over before they discuss them. So if you're trying to manipulate him through words it's not going to work. All he'll do is tune you out and keep doing his thing.
I have given you 5 powerful strategies and, if you use them, you will have a solid foundation on how to
make a man fall in love with you if he ever starts to pull away. There's value in knowing what to do, but I also believe that knowing what not to do can be even more valuable and beneficial to getting what you want. By implementing these 5 things in
your relationship with your man you'll improve your relationship and your chances of taking things to the next level with him.
