Getting His Attention Now

If you’re crushing on the guy in the next cubicle at work or someone you see at the coffee shop every morning you are probably wondering how you can get his attention.  Many women come on way too strong and this can  backfire for a couple of reasons. For one thing, you don’t want to appear easy, if you and your crush ever do get together you don’t want it to be just a booty call.  Another reason you don’t want to come on too strong is that you might just scare him away.  Every guy is different and some like strong women but few will like a pushy, overbearing woman, be willing to take it slow and be discreet.

Instead of dressing in your skimpiest outfit you may want to try more subtle body language cues to let him know that you are interested.  While you do want to look your best it’s important that you don’t go too over the top with what you wear and how  you do your hair and makeup.  Again, you don’t want to give him the idea that all you want is a roll in the hay or that you earn some extra cash as a call girl.  You can be sexy and attractive without running around half naked.

Here are some body language tips you can try to let him know you are interested, but not easy:

1. Whether the two of you are together or just happen to be at the same place at the same time, eye contact can make a big impact.  Grab his attention ( usually all you have to do is look at someone for several seconds and they will ‘feel’ your eyes on them)  hold his gaze for several seconds, then coyly look away.  Be careful you don’t stare at him for minutes on end because if you do you’ll look like a loon and scare him off.

2. If the two of you are talking, slightly lean in when you talk to him. Lightly touch him on the arm or back.  Just a light touch a few times during the conversation will send him a clear signal that you’re interested.  Again, don’t overdo it.  This isn’t about pawing the poor guy, it’s about a subtle seduction that any guy who isn’t a complete dork will pick up on.

3.  Don’t try too hard. This rule doesn’t just apply to the way you dress.  Don’t laugh at his jokes unless you think they really are funny.  Don’t gush over his home run in last weeks softball game.  Of course, it’s nice to seem interested and maybe a little impressed, but you don’t want to react like he just told you that he found the cure for cancer.  Men can smell phony a mile away and most men will be turned off by it.

4. Don’t fall for the cliched idea that all men want is sex. Sure men, and women, love a great sexual encounter but as they get older and mature they become equally interested in someone they can have an intellectual and emotional connection with too, in short they are looking for the same thing women are : a best friend and lover rolled into one. Don’t just play up the sexual side of things, show him what a fun loving, honest, intelligent woman you are and he’ll be very impressed.

These simple tactics can help you if you are trying to get his attention and could lead to a wonderful relationship.

What Do I Do If My Boyfriend wants to take a break?

When your boyfriend wants to take a break it usually means one of two things (though he will probably deny it if you ask him) he either has found someone else he’s interested in but wants to keep you in reserve just in case she isn’t interested, or, he really just wants to end the relationship but thinks it will be easier saying it’s just a break.

Either way, your relationship is in big trouble.  There are many ways you can handle this situation depending on what you want,  you have to ask yourself a few questions:  Do you want to stay in the relationship, or are you willing to let things go and see how they all work out?

Either way your overall strategy will be the same -  let him go.  I know this may sound odd but if your boyfriend is hot for someone else, you’ll only be pushing him further away if you cling to him.  You will force his hand and he will just end the relationship (which, believe it or not, may be a good thing if he’s hot for someone else. You don’t need to be second string).

If he really just wants out but doesn’t have the guts to come right out and say so than the relationship is already over so you might as well move on with your dignity intact.  You’re not going to be able to change his mind and you’ll just make yourself look pathetic if you beg him to stay.

During this time don’t talk to him. Don’t call, text, or email him.  Give him time to figure out what he really wants, and more importantly, give yourself time to figure out what you really want… and need.  You may find, once you get past the shock, that you are OK with this ‘break’ and you may not even mind if the break becomes permanent.  Just give yourself time to find out.

If your boyfriend wants to take a break  than the best thing you can do is say ‘absolutely’. If he’s just playing with you and trying to stroke his own ego or if he’s really ready to leave, either way you’ll stay strong and won’t have a lot of regrets over the way you acted when your relationship ended.  Not having a lot of regrets will make it so much easier to move on to the next stage in your life.

My boyfriend broke up with me, Should I Try To Get Back With Him?

It’s always tough to face the possibility that a breakup is actually a good thing.  Many people, especially women, have a hard time letting go.  When you truly love someone it’s hard to imagine that you will ever love anyone else again, so we tend to cling to a bad relationship.  If you’ve asked the question: my boyfriend broke up with me, should I try to get him back? – more than likely you already know the answer.

The truth is that if you are even wondering whether or not you should get him back, you probably already know deep inside that the relationship wasn’t the best thing for you.  You just want someone else to tell you so, maybe so you can argue with them and talk yourself into getting back with your ex.

Here are some signs that the relationship is probably better off  left in the past:

1. If your ex was abusive in any way at all, physically, verbally, emotionally, or sexually don’t even consider getting back with him. You deserve a man not a scared and damaged little boy.  Run, don’t walk, you can’t fix him.

2. If your boyfriend was unfaithful.  No matter how hard a couple tries to move past infidelity, it can be virtually impossible and few couples will ever really be able to make it.  Think of it like this, your boyfriend promised he would be faithful in the beginning of your relationship, and you believed him.  Now, that he’s proven his word is no good, how can you ever completely trust him again?

3. If there was even the tiniest chance that you were with your ex just because you didn’t want to be alone you should probably hold off on the reconciliation.  Make sure that you’re in the relationship, any relationship, for the right reasons.  Fear of being alone is not the right reason.

After you’ve carefully considered all of these points you will be able to answer your own question: my boyfriend broke up with me, should I try to get him back?  Another, better, question to ask might be, do I really want him back or did he do me a favor by ending the relationship?  Putting it like that can be a real eye opener.

best ways to get your wife back

If your marriage is on the rocks it will take a huge toll on everyone,  not just you and your spouse.  Your children, friends, family, and even work can suffer if you have a strained relationship at home. Lot’s of men lose their wives for lots of reasons, but those reasons can generally be boiled down to one main cause: they didn’t treat their wife with love and respect, didn’t treat her like their best friend. While it’s a shame that men have to put themselves and their wives through so much pain before they can wise up, it is possible to get her to come back to you.  Here are the best ways to get your wife back.

1. What went wrong?  You can’t fix something until you’ve pinpointed the exact problem.  This won’t be fun because you’ll have to face up to your own B.S.  But if you really want your wife to come back to you, than you’ll take the time to figure it out.

2. Once you’ve pinpointed the problem, apologize, sincerely.  Don’t pay lip service and not mean what you say.  Once you’ve realized what you did that drove her away you need to let her know that you truly are sorry that you acted like such a jerk.

3.  Of course, an apology won’t mean much if you continue with the same behavior.  You have to make sure that you are willing to change your bad habits.  Actions do speak louder than words so make sure that after you apologize to her you also let her see some positive changes.

The bottom line is this: the best ways to get your wife back is to face up to the problems, your problems, apologize for them and make significant strides forward.  If your marriage is at this point you’ve probably apologized and then turned around and made the same mistakes many times throughout your relationship.  You can’t blame your wife if she doesn’t take you seriously or believe you are truly sorry, that’s why you have to show her.  Talk is cheap, show her by your actions that you really love her and want her back.

My ex wants more space! What do I do?

A lot of you have experienced a really serious relationship one time in your life, but when things suddenly come crashing down because your ex wants more space, you probably wonder what happened, right? There are many different reasons why your ex will suddenly want space. Some may not even have anything to do with you, such as family problems or securities. Fear of commitment might also play a role in your ex wanting more space lately. Here are some tips to answering the question of “how to get my ex back?” if your ex wants more space.

- don’t lose your pride or allow your ex to get the best of you, clearly you are still in love with your ex, but it might be a good idea to play a little hard to get at first, this will show your ex that it’s their loss and not yours.

- if you’re feeling like your ex still has feelings for you, it might be a good idea to get your him or her to start talking about something. Keep communication brief, you don’t want to give away too much and avoid drama. Short text messages will work wonders, it’s keeps things open-ended and will leave the ball in his court. Also, it was your ex that wanted space, so don’t let him get the idea that you’re smothering him.

- Your ex will eventually show interest again if things go well, this will be a good opportunity for you to talk about old times, keeping in mind to only bring up the good times that you had together. Focusing on the good things will far outweigh your ex’s need to want “more space”.

- If your ex is not responding to your subtle advances, you need to take it for what it is… either he is just not interested right now, or he really just needs some space so you should give it to him. This does not necessarily mean that he or she doesn’t love you anymore, just give them some time. After some time has passed, your ex will most likely contact you first when they feel that the time is right.

- if your ex is giving all the right signals, try to open up to him, let him know how you feel but avoid looking too desperate or needy. Show your ex that you’re independent as well and don’t need him around 24/7. Just let things happen naturally.

Again, these things may or may not work for your specific situation, but for me personally, it has worked very well, I hope that this post will help all of you that want to get your ex back of they “want some space”. ;-)
