I'd like to tell you a story...
It's a story that you might find strangely familiar. Don't be
alarmed.
Once upon a time, there was a woman who was very attracted to a
particular man.
At first, he was just another attractive man... but the more she got
to know him, the more she began to feel attracted to him... and the
more time she spent with him, the more that attraction grew into a
deep emotional attachment and affection for him.
But there was one problem.
As her emotional attachment grew stronger and stronger, she also
grew more and more insecure.
Why?
Because she couldn't tell whether or not he felt the same way
towards her.
Sometimes he would talk to her and say things that led her to
believe that they shared a special connection, but nothing ever
progressed past the “friendship” stage.
There was an occasional glance, an occasional email or call from
him... and a few times, he even opened up about something personal
or emotional, and invited her “inside” for a little while.
But something was wrong with the picture.
He just wasn't acting like a man who was “falling in love”. He was
acting like a friend, but at times, even more distant than a friend
would be.
And things seemed to be hot and cold. Sometimes he would look at her
and talk to her, and sometimes he would ignore her and close himself
off.
The insecurity that she felt from all this, became a spiral that
amplified itself... and the more insecure she became, the more
afraid she grew of “screwing things up” or “scaring him off”, by
starting conversations or asking him if he was interested in her and
why he didn't ask her out.
Plus, the more insecure she became, the less time he seemed to want
to spend with her.
After spending days and nights obsessing over this guy, the woman
finally arrived at the conclusion that if he only knew how SHE FELT,
that he would feel the same way.
So she made a bold move.
She TOLD HIM how she felt.
She confessed her feelings and let him know that she wanted to be
with him.
He responded by flirting with her and he spent some time alone with
her, and they even kissed and held each other.
But soon after, he quickly withdrew, didn't call her and wasn't
really “available” to her.
This only confused the woman more.
She didn't know how to take it...
Did it mean that he really loved her too, but that he was afraid of
something?
Did it mean that he wasn't ready for a long-term relationship?
Did it mean that he didn't love her, and that he was trying to give
her a hint?
Did it mean that she hadn't tried hard enough?
Did it mean that she needed to put everything on the line and REALLY
let him know how she felt?
She finally decided that she couldn't go on like this anymore... she
had to be with him.
She had to make sure that he knew just how much she wanted to be
with him... so she took a big step, bought him a symbolic gift and
wrote him a letter... again confessing her feelings.
And then, something unthinkable happened.
Either he didn't reply at all... (Ouch!)
Or he replied and she connected with him on an emotional and
physical level for a brief time, but then he backed away.
Then she called him a couple of times, the following week before
reaching him.
He made an excuse about being very busy and said, “I'll try to give
you a call soon, I have to go”... and hung up... but she never got a
call back.
Over the following months, the woman tried desperately to understand
what went wrong... and what happened.
THE END...
OK, I'm back.
Now, wasn't that a sweet story?
Heartwarming, huh?
I know; I should keep my day job, and not take-up writing romance
novels...
Now, let's talk about that story.
That story is basically a MYTH.
But I'm not talking about FICTION here.
I'm talking about a story that rings true for lots of women. A story
that is timeless. A story that resonates at a deep level, because
you can IDENTIFY with it.
And why does this particular story resonate for some women?
Because lots of women have been there in one way or another... at
one time or another... and many have been there OFTEN in their
lives.
Another thing that gives this particular story a lot of power, is
the powerful negative emotions that it stirs... as a result of the
powerful negative experiences that it brings back...
Stories and situations like this one, really FASCINATE me.
They fascinate me, because I see them as an opportunity to
UNDERSTAND and SOLVE the puzzles that they represent.
In this particular situation, I think there is a solution.
It lies in understanding a SECRET that lots of WOMEN DON'T GET.
That secret comes down to the reality that if a man isn't ATTRACTED
to a woman, all of her attempts to confess her love, convince him to
like her and court her, BACKFIRE.
In other words, they not only DON'T WORK; they actually make things
WORSE.
In other words, the very things that a woman does to try to make a
man LIKE HER, make him NOT like her.
They make him run.
All of those great intentions and emotional dedication actually
cause the woman feeling them, to do things that make the man go
away.
It sucks!
But it's a strangely common dynamic, that also takes place inside
dating situations and new relationships without women (or men)
really being aware of it, and understanding what's going on.
And I hope that by explaining the process of how this happens to
you, that I'll help you avoid this painful situation in your own
future...
And maybe you can start to understand what's going on a little
better, if you think about what it's like when a man you're NOT
attracted to, desperately wants your attention, affection and your
time.
Have you ever had a guy pursue you?
As he's trying to get your attention, approval and affection, all of
his pleading and effort just seems to bug you more and make you want
to get away.
Even if all he's doing, is telling you great things about yourself
and how he feels about you?
Strange and interesting...
Choices And The Paradox Of Attraction
I'm always fascinated by the idea that we humans don't always
understand the message that we're communicating to others...
So often we think that because we WANT to communicate a message,
that others are going to NATURALLY understand what we're trying to
say.
Have you ever seen a woman who dresses over-the-top sexy and wears
way to much make-up?
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I don't think that her
appearance is communicating the message to men that she thinks it
is”...?
Yeah, I have too.
Well, here's the deal:
If you do something to “let a man know how you feel” ... but he
isn't open to the situation at that time, or he isn't ATTRACTED to
you, then it's going to backfire.
It's going to trigger a feeling for the man, that I like to call the
“Instant Ewww”.
The “Instant Ewww” is just as powerful as the physical and emotional
response of ATTRACTION.
Once a man feels it, YOU'RE DONE.
It's over.
It's like hammering a RAILROAD SPIKE into the coffin.
Once a man feels the “Instant Ewww”, he'll start behaving
differently.
In short, he'll back off or even disappear.
So where did I get the concept of the “Instant Ewww”?
I got it from watching WOMEN.
I have actually heard SEVERAL women use the word “Ewww”, when
describing how they felt about a guy that was “confessing his
love”... and of course, these were guys that weren't loved in return
by the woman.
Men do the same kind of thing with a woman they're not attracted to.
Often they try to be “nice” about it. They let the attention pump up
their ego a bit, and then they create what is often an unconscious
barrier in their mind, that closes off communication or contact with
her.
And the resulting vacuum sound you hear, is what's happening as any
ATTRACTION and interest he might have felt, evaporates.
So what causes the “Instant Ewww”?
And why would a man feel it, towards a woman who was trying to be
nice... a woman who was giving him attention, a gift or telling him
how she feels?
Because if you think about it from HIS perspective, you'll realize
that the moment you do something to “confess”, you've created a
TURNING POINT in the relationship.
Up until that point, you were harmless.
I mean, men know when they are getting some “special attention” from
a woman.
And they usually know it from the beginning.
But now that you've started pursuing him and talking about how you
feel, you've created a NEGATIVE TENSION that can be VERY
uncomfortable.
You've triggered an emotion that can actually repel a man and make
him even more detached from his emotions.
Here's the thing...
You can't “make a man like you” or “change how he feels about you”,
by doing nice things for him.
Doing “nice” things for a man who isn't attracted to you, HURTS you.
It backfires. Worse, it creates the “Instant Ewww” feeling, that
makes it so he'll perhaps NEVER like you.
Men are the worst at this, by the way.
They make this mistake over and over again in life, because they're
doing what MAKES SENSE to them. They're doing it, because they don't
have an understanding of ATTRACTION.
I mean, if you have a friend and you like them, and you want to make
them like you more... and you do some nice things for them, they
will probably like you more.
On the other hand...
If you have a man that you “like” in a romantic way, and he doesn't
“feel it” for you, and you do something nice for him, because you
want HIM to like you more, it will BACKFIRE... and he will not only
NOT like you more, but he will most likely distance himself from
you.
Women think that they need to communicate verbally when they like a
man... as if that's part of the necessary process of getting a guy.
In their minds, it goes like this:
Like him>Tell him you like him>He likes you
Well, remember... if you follow this pattern, yourself, with men who
aren't already ATTRACTED to you, then it's going to BACKFIRE.
If he's not into you, then it goes like THIS:
He thinks of you as a friend>You tell him you like him>He gets the
“Instant Ewwws” and withdraws...
THE ANSWER
There are really TWO answers to this problem.
The first answer, is what to do if you're in a situation where you
like a particular guy, but you don't know if he likes you back.
DON'T GET HEAVY WITH HIM.
Don't buy him a big gift, do something nice to show him how much you
think about him or write him a love letter...
Don't send him a note to his work that says, “From your secret
admirer”.
Don't call him several times, without hearing from him.
And DON'T CONFESS YOUR LOVE for him.
If you want to know how he feels about you, do something to ATTRACT
HIM and see how he reacts instead of telling him you love him and
hearing the crickets chirp as you wait for his response.
As a rule of thumb, don't get heavier than HIM. Use SIGNALS from him
to find out how he feels... and if you don't know how to read and
create those signals, then LEARN.
Asking a man if he's interested in you in a romantic way, or if you
are “his type”, will actually DESTROY the chances that his
attraction and interest in you will grow.
Really.
The SECOND answer, is to not get into this particular situation in
the FIRST PLACE. Avoid it entirely.
And how does one do that?
One does that by creating ATTRACTION from the beginning.
One does that by understanding the dynamics of how and why men have
the physical and emotional response of ATTRACTION triggered.
One does that by knowing what you're doing FROM THE BEGINNING.
And what's the best way to learn THAT skill?
I thought you'd never ask...
Well, I've written about attraction before and I'll write about it
again.
In my eBook, I talk about some of the very best ways to learn how to
make man feel ATTRACTION for you.
But above and beyond the meeting and attracting men “stuff”, I also
talk about how attraction, communication, psychology and emotions
all play into the longer term “stuff” around dating, and creating a
solid foundation for a future relationship.
In my eBook, I go deep inside the mind of a man to tell you the
secrets and truths that lots of women will never know about.
The eBook is called “Catch Him And Keep Him”.
I've spent several years now, studying the ways that women (and men)
who are “naturals”, communicate using their words, voice tone and
body language.
The way they integrate all these, makes them MAGNETIC to be around.
And you probably know what I'm talking about, if you know any women
who seem “lucky in love”. Where everything involving men seems to
come easily and effortlessly to them.
And I'll tell you... it's not magic.
You don't have to be gorgeous or young.
And you don't have to be LUCKY.
What you DO have to do is LEARN.
It's a skill, and I honestly believe that ANY woman can learn it if
she wants.
But you're not likely to figure it out by “trial and error”. Many of
the keys to making men feel ATTRACTION and want to be around you for
the long-term aren't “obvious”, at all.
In fact, many of them make no sense... and they're the LAST thing
you'd do in a particular situation, if you didn't know the SECRETS.

It's jam-packed with insights, concepts, tips and secrets.
