*A Dating Secret Women Know But Men Don't*
Once upon a time, there was a man who was very
attracted to a particular woman. At first, she was
just another attractive woman...
but the more he got to know her, the more he began
to feel attracted to her... and the more time he
spent with her, the more that attraction grew into a
deep emotional attachment and affection for her.
But there was one problem.
As his emotional attachment grew stronger and
stronger, he also grew more and more insecure.
Why?
Because he couldn't tell whether or not she felt the
same way towards him.
Sometimes she would say things like "You are so
important to me" and "I'm glad that you're in my
life"...
but nothing ever progressed past the "friendship"
stage.
There was an occasional hug, an occasional kiss on
the cheek from her... and once she even held his
hand for a long time while he talked about an
emotional issue.
But something was wrong with the picture.
She just wasn't acting like a woman that was
"falling in love". She was acting like a friend. The
insecurity that he felt became a spiral that
amplified itself... and the more insecure he became,
the more afraid he grew of "screwing things up" by
kissing her or asking her to be his girlfriend.
Plus, the more insecure he became, the less time she
seemed to want to spend with him.
After spending many days and nights obsessing over
this girl, the man finally arrived at the conclusion
that if she only knew how HE FELT, that she would
feel the same way.
So he made a bold move. He TOLD HER how he was felt.
He confessed that he was in love, and that he would
do anything to be with her.
She looked at him with compassion in her eyes and
said "Thank you... I really mean that... but I don't
want to mess up our friendship... you're too
important to me...".
This only confused the man more. He didn't know how
to take it...
Did it mean that she really loved him too, but that
she was afraid of something?
Did it mean that she wasn't ready for a long-term
relationship?
Did it mean that she didn't love him, but that she
was trying to give him a hint?
Did it mean that he hadn't tried hard enough?
Did it mean that he needed to put everything on the
line and REALLY let her know how he felt?
He finally decided that he couldn't go on like this
anymore... he had to be with her.
He had to make sure that she knew just how much he
wanted to be with her... so he took a big step,
bought her a symbolic gift, and wrote her a long,
long letter... again confessing his feelings.
And then the unthinkable happened.
She didn't reply.
He called her three times a day for almost a week
before reaching her.
She 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 he never got a call back.
Over the following months, the man tried desperately
to understand what went wrong... and what happened.
THE END
OK, I'm back.
Now, wasn't that a sweet story?
Heart warming, 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. And I'm not talking about FICTION here.
I'm talking about a story that rings true for a
great majority of men. 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 most
men?
Because we've all been there in one way or
another...
at one time or another... and many of us have been
there OFTEN in our 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 reminds us of...
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. And it lies in understanding a
secret that women know but MEN DON'T.
And that secret comes down to the reality that if a
woman isn't ATTRACTED to a man, all of his attempts
to confess his love, convince her to like him, 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 man does to try to make a woman LIKE
HIM make her NOT like him. They make her run.
All those great intentions and emotional dedication
actual cause the man feeling them to do things that
make her go away.
It sucks.
And I hope that by explaining the process of how
this happens to you I'll help you avoid this painful
situation in your own future...
THE "INSTANT EWWW"
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 guy in a foreign car that has
wheels on it that cost more than the car itself...
with his stereo blasting... and a muffler that
somehow AMPLIFIES the raw sound of the 4-cylinder
motor...?
Have you ever thought to yourself "I don't think
that car is communicating the message to women that
he thinks it is"...?
Yea, I have too.
Well here's the deal:
If you do something to "let a woman know how you
feel"... but she isn't ATTRACTED to you, then it's
going to backfire.
It's going to trigger a feeling that like to call
the "Instant Ewww".
The Instant Ewww is just as powerful as the physical
and emotional response of ATTRACTION. Once a woman
feels it, YOU'RE DONE.
It's over.
It's like hammering a RAILROAD SPIKE into the
coffin. Once a woman feels the Instant Ewww, she
will start behaving differently.
In short, she'll disappear.
So where did I get the concept of the "Instant Ewww"?
I got it from WOMEN.
I have actually heard SEVERAL women use the word "Ewww"
when describing how they felt about a guy that was
"confessing his love"... of course, these were guys
that weren't loved in return.
So what causes the
Instant Ewww?
And why would a woman feel it towards a man who was
trying to be nice... a guy who was giving her a gift
or telling her how he feels? Because if you think
about it from HER perspective, you'll realize that
the moment a you do something to "confess", you have
created a TURNING POINT in the relationship.
Up until that point, you were harmless. I mean,
women always know how men feel. She already knew you
wanted her. She knew it from the beginning.
But now that you've started pursuing her and talking
about how you feel, you've created a NEGATIVE
TENSION that is VERY uncomfortable.
You've triggered an emotion that is repulsive to
women. And it does repel them.
In summary...
You can't "make a woman like you" or "change how she
feels about you" by doing nice things for her...
Doing "nice" things for a woman who isn't attracted
to you HURTS you. It backfires. Worse, it creates
the "Instant Ewww" feeling that makes it so she'll
NEVER like you.
Men 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 thing for them, they will probably like
you more.
On the other hand...
If you have a woman that you "like" in a romantic
way, and she doesn't "feel it" for you, and you do
something nice for her because you want HER to like
you more, it will BACKFIRE... and she will not only
NOT like you more, she will most likely distance
herself from you.
Guys think that they need to communicate when they
like a woman... as if that's part of the necessary
process of getting a girl.
In their minds, it goes like this:
Like her>Tell her you like her>She likes you
Well remember... if you follow this pattern yourself
with women who aren't ATTRACTED to you, then it's
going to BACKFIRE.
If she's not into you, then it goes like THIS:
She thinks of you as a friend>You tell her you like
her>She gets the "Instant Ewwws" and never wants to
be around you again...
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 girl, but you
don't know if she likes you back.
DON'T GET HEAVY WITH HER.
Don't buy her a big gift and write a love letter...
Don't send her ten dozen roses to her work with a
not that says "From your secret admirer".
Don't call her three times a day.
And DON'T CONFESS YOUR LOVE for her.
If you want to know how she feels about you, KISS
HER (and use "The Kiss Test" that you learned on my
website and in my book).
As a rule of thumb, don't get heavier than HER. Use
SIGNALS from her to find out how she feels...
and if you don't know how to read and create those
signals, then LEARN.
Asking a woman if she's interested in your in a
romantic way, or if you are "her type" will actually
DESTROY the chances that she'll like you.
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 women 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...
