I read so many posts on this website and they all sound the same "why hasn't he called me like he used to", "he's acting funny since we had sex", "he doesn't return my phone calls". The answer is so obvious but they ignore their instincts and end up getting hurt. Intuition is a powerful thing! Or the guy already tell them that he's not looking for a relationship but the girl thinks she can change his mind so she sticks around and eventually gets hurt. She ends up with a broken heart and no guy.
I think every woman can benefit from the book "He's Just Not that into you". It was written by 2 girls and a guy. Reading this can save you alot of heartache and time. It helps you realize the difference between a guy that really likes you and is available vs a guy that is only interested in a fling or emotionally unavailable. I recommend it for any woman that is single & dating. Look at it next time you're in the library or bookstore. I'm sure you can see a few sample pages at www.amazon.com
If you are already in a relationship with the guy, then this book can't help because there could be deeper, more personal things involved that need unique solutions & advice.
I love Taurusbabe!!! That's how I feel, I feel like if your relationship (potential even) is that sensitive then sex and being sly isn't going to help it. How regular is it to meet someone and you both want the FULL happily ever after at that exact moment. Everyone gets horny and most people want new sex, why wait—
Secondly,if you have to control a man with sex then you have issues within yourself to work out. It's one thing if you just don't want to do it because of YOU, but if you use sex as a weapon to drive him nuts for you (LMAO as if) then you're living in the 1950s.
Sex, IS something you do when you're both ready, not because your man was on good behavior and is ready for a treat. That's insane mainly because that game won't end. Every time he screws up (according to the rules) you're gonna withold sex. Be an adult people. Sex is like skating, it's great when you have a partner and meant for enjoyment.
And, yes I have heard of the book when it was on Oprah but I haven't read it. I probably won't read it though, I am highly against something that wants to just shut down shop. I know some people will not agree with chasing someone but sometimes it's what works.
If you've found someone who is single and available who floats your boat, just because they are not dyingly confessing their love at your heels does not mean you should move on. Not everyone is mentally up to par at the same time, doesn't mean they don't want a relationship it may mean they need more time or to clear some things up before they can relax and enjoy a potential new love. Money, baby-mama/daddy drama, family loss, unhappy with job or overworked, stressed out from bills, there are a lot of reasons why someone may not have it "in" them to play the part right from the start. Or why they may be the perfect mate one week and slipping the next week.
I guess this is where the old addage rings true again... Communication is key.
Actually the book has nothing to do with playing games. Its not about controlling anyone, it simply tells you different scenarios and signs to look out for to tell if a guy is not interested because some men are too evasive to directly tell a woman to go away. I believe the best way to tell is simply asking directly because I'm pretty direct, but it seems some people don't communicate like that so they never know how the guy feels.
What does the book say about men who when asked if they want space and they say no or basically make it seem like no way. Or when you test if they told you the truth by giving them space and they still come back yet they still make you wonder wtf is going on. What does the book say about those men lol. 🙂
I read that book way back when it came out. I would pretty much say that NOBODY would ever end up in a relationship or married for that matter, if they listended to the scenarios/advice in that book. I've mentioned before that my girlfriend ended up being married to a guy that started out that way. I dont think its about a GUYS actions, but it's more about a WOMAN's reaction and how much backbone and respect she has for herself.
Ask if you have questions about what he is thinking, wants etc. I agree with Roxi, all the sitting and wondering is a waste of time to me. Call if you feel like it, who cares if you were the last to call, just be sure you aren't the only one making the calls. Games are for kids.
It does leave some mystery if you wait a day or so before shagging. However, if the chemistry is right go for it when you feel you want to, and yes, if he doesn't call who cares. You can't possible fall for someone after one sexual escapade...
