Is the man you like showing you signs that he's interested in you?Thank you!That's not all of the battle.You need to know how to keep him interested.It shouldn't take much effort to keep him around if he's a good fit for you.
Step 1: Be positive.
Guys like it when their partner is bold.Make an effort to look your best, and take care of yourself.The things that make you special should be emphasized.
Step 2: When you appreciate what he does, tell him.
Don't take him for granted.Let him know that you appreciate how he stays calm in difficult situations, or that he cleaned the kitchen after he made dinner.This will make him feel good, even if he doesn't say anything.
Step 3: Stay independent.
You do not want to lose yourself in a relationship and he does not.You will have more to talk about if you both stay independent because you will both respect each other more in the long run.
Step 4: Surprise him with things he likes.
As the two of you are getting to know each other better, make sure to ask him questions about what he likes.Take note when he talks about something that makes his eyes light up and try to find out more.Surprise him with a gift that shows you were listening, like a tee time at the ultra-exclusive golf course he mentioned.
Step 5: He should be made to feel like a man.
You don't have to pretend to be weak to make your guy feel like a big, strong man.Give him a compliment that will make him feel good about himself or hold the door open for him.He will want to spend more time with you when you boost his ego.
Step 6: Don't stop flirting with him.
You don't have to stop flirting just because you start dating.It is more important than ever to keep doing the cute, flirtatious things that got him interested.Playfully touch him on the arm, brush up against him, or give him that look that lets him know you're thinking of more than just what movie to watch.
Step 7: Match his level of commitment.
If he is just coming around to the idea of being exclusive, you shouldn't be shopping for towels with his name on them.He will likely back away from this because it can make him feel overwhelmed.Let him come to you if he is sending mixed signals.
Step 8: Don't try to get too long.
If you want your guy to be curious about you, let him know you are interested.He might lose interest in you if he has to work too hard to get your attention.
Step 9: Be who you are.
To get a guy to like you, you should never pretend to be someone else.He will discover if you're lying.Don't try to be who you think he wants.Move on if he doesn't like it.If it seems small, be honest.If your mom casually mentions how much you hate football, he'll respect you less, even if you tell him you've always been a fan of his favorite team.If a man tells you to stop hanging out with your friends, quit your job, or change your hair style, he might not like you for who you are.
Step 10: He shouldn't be jealous of his female friends.
Are you looking for a guy who is comfortable around women?If he already has female friends, it's a good sign that he will get along with your female bestie.He would be already with them if he wanted to.Make friends with them, instead of acting jealous.He will appreciate the effort.
Step 11: Don't be clingy.
People don't want to feel like their partner is bad.Don't demand that your man engage in public displays of affection if he's uncomfortable with it.If you don't hear from him for a while, blow up his phone, he'll be annoyed when he sees he has 18 missed calls from you.
Step 12: Wait for the right time to have sex.
This is not the same for every couple.He might not see the two of you as having a serious future if you start a sexual relationship before you know each other well.If you both like each other and he is showing signs of wanting a relationship, you might want to head to the bedroom sooner rather than later.You should wait to have sex until you are comfortable with each other.
Step 13: Tell him when it feels good.
Let your man know that you like what he does by making him feel like a stud in the bedroom.If you like his attitude, tell him when he does something that feels good.You can compliment his manliness by carrying that mood outside of the bedroom.Don't criticize or tease him about his bedroom performance.Men are sensitive about their sexual prowess and would not want it done to them.
Step 14: At least some of the time.
If you want to get him fired up, you should be the first one to suggest doing the deed.Try to find times when he isn't expecting it.You don't have to say anything if you feel shy.Take him by the hand, give him a sexy smile, and gently tug him towards the bedroom until he gets the idea.Say something like "I've been thinking about having your hands on me" if you're in the mood.If you don't have much time, ask him if he wants to have a quickie.He will be happy that you made the first move.
Step 15: No matter how busy your life gets, make your sex life a priority.
There are a lot of things that start to crowd in when you are in a relationship.It becomes even more true if you eventually have kids with each other.To enhance the moment, try to set the mood ahead of time.Schedule a romantic date night, send him sexy texts during the day, or set your alarm a little earlier so you have time for a morning quickie.
Step 16: If you do not want to have sex, don't let anyone pressure you.
Sex is fun if both parties are into it.Say no if you don't want to have sex, even if it's the first time or you're in a long-term relationship.No one should force you to have sex.
Step 17: Pick the battles.
Don't argue when he leaves his socks on the floor.He does things that annoy you, but focus on what you like about him.He'll be more likely to listen if you don't argue over trivial issues.
Step 18: Resolving issues calmly is what you should try to do.
Don't argue rather than have a conversation.You are both working to build a life together, remember that this is a person you care about.If a tense issue comes up that you need to talk about, try to have a mature discussion where you both can explain how you feel.Try to find the right time to mention an important issue.You can focus on each other when you are free of distraction.Start the conversation with a positive statement about your partner and then discuss what's bothering you."I feel a little frustrated that you didn't talk to me before buying something that cost so much, but I'm so excited about your new phone."If an argument gets out of hand, use positive statements to cool things down and keep your voice calm."I respect your independence, I just want to feel included in big decisions, so this surprised me."
Step 19: If the situation gets out of hand, take a break.
A big factor in how much he listens to is how you say it.Take a 20-minute break if you can feel your emotions getting the best of you.If you want to talk about it, go for a walk or take a drive in your car.
Step 20: Don't get carried away with your problems.
When you argue you let it all out.There's no way to fix several different things if you're arguing about them instead of dealing with one issue.As the problems come up, talk about them.If there are a lot of unresolved issues in your relationship, you might need to evaluate whether you're with the right person.
Step 21: Fights should not be dragged out.
Do your best to let the argument go as quickly as possible.When emotions are running high, someone will need to get that last jab in.If you want to avoid hurt feelings, allow the argument to die down quickly.You don't always have to get the last word.You have to be willing to lose an argument to have a healthy relationship.Let the conversation go after you've expressed your thoughts.He's more likely to think about what you said if you stay calm.
Step 22: As soon as possible, repair the relationship.
You might feel like the two of you have lost touch when you argue.Even if you both feel a little tender, connect with each other as soon as possible.Use humor to break the mood.To get back on the same page, try to find something you can do together.
