			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me share an important insight about relationships, and a few tips with you. I&#8217;ll start here What do you think is the single most important thing that makes or breaks your new relationship?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you&#8230;</p>
<p>After that initial ATTRACTION is created and shared between you both&#8230; the single most important part of your new relationship is the level of COMMUNICATION you and a man share. I&#8217;ll get right to the point regarding how this important part of relationships is working out for YOU: Does the way you and the man in your life communicate make you feel loved and appreciated? Or does it only frustrate you and make you feel sad, alone, and misunderstood?</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know what to say to a man to start open conversations about your relationship and the feelings you&#8217;re both having without triggering him to pull away&#8230; then creating a real relationship where you can truly love and support each other is going to be an impossible struggle. There&#8217;s an easier way&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you know the SECRETS that will make a man feel excited and inspired to talk, listen, and share his feelings with you&#8230; even if he&#8217;s never been this way before in a relationship? The reality is, most men don&#8217;t just open up and communicate the way you want and need them to. And because of this, lots of women end up trying to compensate by TALKING MORE and doing all the &#8220;work&#8221; in their relationship. Of course, this just drains you and encourages the man you&#8217;re with to WITHDRAW even more. The things that allow you and a man to listen, hear and understand each other aren&#8217;t &#8220;givens&#8221; in your relationship. Just because you have strong FEELINGS for each other, it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re going to have the kind of COMMUNICATION you need to make your relationship truly work and LAST.</p>
<p>More love and sacrifice on your part is NOT going to make the lack of communication and sharing you have in your relationship better. But you&#8217;re thoughtful and generous for trying this and caring enough to give even more of yourself. Unfortunately, stretching yourself to the point of frustration and emotional break-down isn&#8217;t going to help you &#8211; or him. So then what should you do?</p>
<p>There are a few essential &#8220;keys&#8221; to building an &#8220;open line&#8221; of communication in your relationship with a man that will prevent him from closing off, withdrawing, and becoming distant no matter what happens between you. Do you know how to share YOUR FEELINGS with a man (even the most intense ones that scare you too) so that instead of getting irritated or freaked out by them&#8230; he listens in a supportive and understanding way? I&#8217;ve been able to boil down the complex process of what makes talking and communication in your relationship work so that the more you share &#8211; the more a man is drawn to you and wants to give you love and understanding.</p>
<p>At the essence of what makes things work is the &#8220;hidden message&#8221; behind what you&#8217;re saying to a man that even you aren&#8217;t fully aware of &#8211; but  have everything to do with YOUR FEELINGS and the response deep down you really want from him. Each time you try and share something with a man, and each time he responds to you (or doesn&#8217;t)&#8230; there&#8217;s a subtle message being communicated under the surface. And this is going on even if you don&#8217;t see this right now, or believe it&#8217;s there or not. Each communication has what&#8217;s called a &#8220;bid&#8221; to it. And a &#8220;bid&#8221; is the hidden &#8220;subtext&#8221; that is what we REALLY MEAN, or are really asking for.</p>
<p>For example, a man might say to you: &#8220;Honey, I don&#8217;t feel like talking right now&#8221; and do it with a tone of voice that shows he&#8217;s frustrated or annoyed. This is a &#8220;bid.&#8221; What a man REALLY MEANS when he says this is: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I have the ENERGY and the desire to get into this with you, because I&#8217;m afraid it will turn into some big emotional thing, and I&#8217;m not willing to go there with you now.&#8221; Of course, most men aren&#8217;t even fully AWARE that this is what they&#8217;re feeling or communicating. It&#8217;s just their instant EMOTIONAL RESPONSE that isn&#8217;t entirely conscious and thought through.</p>
<p>Help the man in your life be the one who can truly hear you and recognize and care for you and your feelings&#8230; and get HIS NEEDS MET at the same time. Once you learn how to do this, you will instantly become that amazing woman a man feels relaxed, open and &#8220;free&#8221; around. Translation &#8211; the woman he wants to STAY WITH.</p>
<p>Close the gap between your feelings and what the man in your life &#8220;gets&#8221; about you. Don&#8217;t wait for things to fix themselves&#8230; or  keep waiting for a man to finally &#8220;get it&#8221; when he hasn&#8217;t figured it out after all this time and effort. Now&#8230; I&#8217;m going to ask you a similar question to the one I asked you earlier. And I want you to think about it again with a few things you&#8217;ve already learned here&#8230;</p>
<p>Does what you do and say with the man in your life INSPIRE HIM to want more with you and to open up in a way he never has before with a woman? Or does he feel TIRED and DRAINED by you and your relationship&#8230; and he CLOSES OFF the way a man will when he feels emotionally overwhelmed by a woman? Think about him for a second&#8230; and try and put YOUR SIDE of things and what you think he should be thinking or doing aside. How is he feeling? And how is he experiencing you and your relationship? Think about it for a few seconds&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, and don&#8217;t worry &#8211; I&#8217;ll get to talking about  how to make sure YOUR FEELINGS are a priority here too&#8230; and how to get them heard. In this email I&#8217;m going to share with you a few  inside secrets from a man&#8217;s perspective on how you  could accidentally be getting in the way of the  great connection the man in your life feels when he&#8217;s with you. If this CONNECTION is nurtured in the right way, it can be the foundation for creating a great RELATIONSHIP a man will beg you to commit to with him. If this CONNECTION is over-analyzed, questioned, or clouded up by too much fear and anxiety and questioning&#8230; then starting a real relationship with a man is going to be practically impossible.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of that whole &#8220;putting the cart before the horse&#8221; thing. Trying to get a man to know how he feels and what he wants in a relationship with you before he&#8217;s even had chance to enjoy the CONNECTION you share and discover what it means to HIM is a sure fire way to ruin a good thing. Please&#8230; don&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>The problem is, most women don&#8217;t CONSCIOUSLY choose to put the cart before the horse with a man. It&#8217;s their EMOTIONS that call them to action and take over. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with having your feelings, or with sharing them. It&#8217;s healthy and important to share what&#8217;s on your mind and how you feel. But HOW you share what you think and feel with a man is what makes all the difference.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to show you how, without knowing it, you could be killing that special CONNECTION and the ATTRACTION a man feels for you. When you get in the way of what makes a man FEEL that intense ATTRACTION that drew him to you in the first place, he&#8217;ll do something that can easily spell the beginning of the end: He&#8217;ll CLOSE OFF to his DESIRE for you&#8230; and question EVERYTHING about whether you&#8217;re the right woman for him to be with and STAY with. Which brings me to an important question I want to ask you; and please, answer this as honestly as you can&#8230; as this is something that can help you immediately.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the question&#8230;</p>
<p>If you have a man who&#8217;s acting WITHDRAWN and pulling away from you&#8230; could it be possible that something YOU are doing is somehow keeping him from feeling INSPIRED to want to be with you? And that the more you sense his hesitation and UNCERTAINTY about you and whether he wants to stay in your relationship&#8230; the more you subtly REACT and RESPOND to this out of fear and do things that only push him farther away?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t accidentally show a man things that will unconsciously shift his feelings for you to a &#8220;casual&#8221; relationship in his mind where he&#8217;ll only want to be with you as long as it&#8217;s easy and convenient for him. I call this the &#8220;For Now&#8221; Relationship. A man could be with you, be faithful and committed, but only be thinking of you &#8220;for now.&#8221; On the other hand&#8230; if you know the right things to say and do that will instantly show him that you&#8217;re the kind of woman who he would be better off with than without&#8230; then he&#8217;ll quickly shift to what I call a &#8220;Forever&#8221; Relationship with you. This is where a man doesn&#8217;t just think of you and love you &#8220;for now&#8221;, but forever.</p>
<p>*Tip: If you&#8217;re finding that it&#8217;s EASY to get a guy interested at first&#8230; but HARD to find that one truly RIGHT MAN and turn your chemistry and connection into a great and lasting relationship that LASTS and goes deeper than &#8220;for now&#8221; in his mind, then it&#8217;s time you stopped the common pattern in your life too many other women share. I&#8217;m talking about the pattern of:</p>
<p>1) meeting a new guy<br />
2) getting instantly wrapped up in your new  &#8220;relationship&#8221;<br />
3) telling yourself it&#8217;s different this time<br />
4) finding out it&#8217;s not that different with this man than it was with &#8220;the others&#8221;&#8230; even though he&#8217;s a good guy<br />
5) trying the same things you&#8217;ve always tried to fix what&#8217;s not working so he&#8217;ll figure it out<br />
6) feeling shocked, drained and heartbroken (again) when you find your back in the same place you swore you wouldn&#8217;t get into after your last  relationship<br />
7) thinking you should give up on men and love altogether</p>
<p>Why is this pattern so common? Here&#8217;s one of the big pieces of the puzzle&#8230;</p>
<p>Too many women make the same set of mistakes early on when &#8220;dating&#8221; and in new relationships that literally cause a man to shift his thinking and feelings 180 degrees back to wanting his &#8220;freedom&#8221; and not being &#8220;ready&#8221; for a real relationship. Don&#8217;t let this happen to you, when you know you are finally with the right man and you just need to get your relationship to the right place for love to keep blossoming. It doesn&#8217;t have to work this way where a man always PULLS AWAY and RESISTS your love and your relationship.</p>
<p>It can be easy. But only if you learn what really works with a man and what the few simple things are a man needs to see, feel, and  experience with you along the way so that he doesn&#8217;t question wanting to be with you and only you. Don&#8217;t keep making the single biggest mistake that causes a man to react and bring an early end to your growing relationship. I call this mistake the &#8220;Instant Relationship.&#8221;</p>
<p>You know how when you meet a man you&#8217;re sure is the right one for you&#8230; you can just feel it. When you&#8217;re together, you feel more comfortable than you can remember feeling with any man. You feel like you&#8217;ve known this man most of your life&#8230; even though you&#8217;ve only just met. And the CONNECTION you share is so amazing and filled with excitement and CHEMISTRY that there&#8217;s no doubt in your mind &#8211; this could be the right one.</p>
<p>As time goes on, you and he fall into a nice little groove of spending most of your time  together and practically living your lives as one. But it hasn&#8217;t been long at all&#8230; a few weeks or months. And then it happens: He does something that let&#8217;s you know he might not be truly &#8220;in this&#8221; with you. Something about how he talks or acts tips you off to the fact that something has changed or shifted about him.</p>
<p>So what do you do&#8230;</p>
<p>You ask him about it. And you ask him to explain why he&#8217;s acting weird and different&#8230; and you tell him that it&#8217;s kind of freaking you out and hurting your feelings. You expect him to listen, hear you, and respond in the sweet and loving way you&#8217;ve known him to be the whole time you&#8217;ve been with him. But suddenly he shows you a side of him you&#8217;ve never seen before. Suddenly he&#8217;s no longer open, no longer affectionate, and you can tell he&#8217;s holding back and closed off to you.</p>
<p>You decide to ask him what the deal is, and what this relationship means to him. You&#8217;ve got to know. Especially since your heart is out there on the line&#8230; and who knows what&#8217;s really going on inside his head now. But the more you need to hear from him on how  he&#8217;s feeling&#8230; and the more you want to let him know what&#8217;s happening for you with all this&#8230; the less he&#8217;s open to talking.</p>
<p>In fact, the less he even wants to spend time with you &#8211; where before he wanted to be with you whenever he had free time. Now he&#8217;s off wanting to hang out with his friends, or leaving town, etc. Or worse, you learn he&#8217;s out with another woman.</p>
<p>Argggh&#8230; what a jerk!</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t help wonder what in the world is going on here, and inside his mind. And then it hits you after him pulling away completely. As much as you knew this was going to be a great relationship, and you felt how real and special what you shared was&#8230; this wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;real&#8221; relationship at all.</p>
<p>He wasn&#8217;t really &#8220;in it&#8221; with you &#8211; and his behavior now shows you that it was this way all along. You just didn&#8217;t see it before. But he seemed so into you and your relationship, so how could he have all of a sudden changed his mind and pulled away?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s break it down on what&#8217;s going on here. There are a few fascinating things going on you need to know about&#8230;</p>
<p>1) Men have different &#8220;Relationship Tempos&#8221;<br />
A man can be with a woman, experience an amazing and special connection with her that he&#8217;s never shared with another woman&#8230; and he can have no desire to get into a &#8220;relationship&#8221; with her, even after several weeks or months of amazing time spent together. For a man, the CONNECTION does not equal a relationship.</p>
<p>2) A man has more than one kind of &#8220;Commitment&#8221; in his heart<br />
There&#8217;s something important you need to know about men and how they &#8220;date.&#8221; A man can be with a woman, have very strong  feelings for her, and want to spend all his time with that woman&#8230; and be completely content with the situation only being something he wants to be in &#8220;for now.&#8221; A man can even say that he cares for and loves a woman&#8230; but still only have that &#8220;for now&#8221; feeling. On the other hand, when a man feels a different set of feelings inside himself with a woman, he can quickly start to feel the &#8220;Forever&#8221; feelings where when he builds a relationship with a woman, it&#8217;s not with the intention of doing it just &#8220;for now&#8221;&#8230; but FOREVER.</p>
<p>Now that you know about these two important aspects of how men think&#8230; I think you&#8217;re ready to see what I mean by the &#8220;Instant Relationship&#8221; I mentioned earlier, and how it&#8217;s a huge mistake tons of women make with men that drive them away.</p>
<p>The Instant Relationship mistake is when a woman starts talking, feeling, and acting with a man in a way that tells him she&#8217;s already in a COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP with him &#8211; before they ever have one and the man has developed the feelings and the desire to truly commit. When the EXPECTATIONS a woman has for a man are the kinds of expectations a woman who is in a long-term committed relationship has of a man, but there is no commitment yet &#8211; it is an instant attraction killer for a man. Not only does it kill the attraction a man feels for a woman&#8230; but it actually makes a man NOT want to explore a relationship with that woman. For men, when a woman falls into an &#8220;Instant Relationship&#8221; with them, it&#8217;s the #1 turn off and a guaranteed way to make a man rethink moving ahead in a more serious relationship.</p>
<p>By the way, you&#8217;ve already heard men talk about women who make the Instant Relationship mistake, and you know how men talk and feel about all this. This &#8220;Instant Relationship&#8221; thing is sometimes just referred to by men as a woman being &#8220;needy&#8221; or &#8220;clingy.&#8221; But the impact of a man seeing or feeling these things about a woman goes much much deeper than just words and names.</p>
<p>If you want a man to stay open to you and to creating a REAL RELATIONSHIP that can and will grow and last&#8230; then I have one simple piece of advice: Now that you know what the Instant Relationship is, and all the behavior that goes along with it that kills attraction inside men&#8230; DO NOT act like you&#8217;re in an instant relationship with a man. That is, unless you want to send him running for the hills.</p>
<p>To learn more about how to avoid making the mistakes that show a man you&#8217;re &#8220;needy&#8221; with him in the Instant Relationship kind of way&#8230; and to know exactly what to do instead to attract the right man and have him wanting your new relationship to grow you need to check this out, it really is a great book:<br />

To learn exactly what you can do to identify the right man for you, quickly capture his interest and attention&#8230; and have him PURSUING YOU and asking you for a more serious relationship, the secrets Christian Carter shows you in his brilliant “Catch Him &amp; Keep Him” ebook will make life and starting your new relationship with a man fun and easy.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t keep repeating the same patterns of chemistry, dating, and having it go nowhere when you can quickly shift things into gear with a few small changes that will have the man you want PURSUING YOU for a relationship.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll talk to you again soon, and best of luck in life and love.</p>

I&#8217;m about to take you &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; in the male mind. I&#8217;m going to give you a perspective that most women never see or realize. Unfortunately for most women, not seeing things the way I&#8217;m about to share with you keeps them trapped in patterns of misunderstanding and unfulfilling relationships with men. If you pay careful attention to what I&#8217;m about to share with you, you&#8217;re going to start having more success with men right away, whether you&#8217;re single and looking for that right guy&#8230; or you&#8217;re in a relationship and you&#8217;d like to start connecting on a deeper level.</p>
<p><b>THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT MEN SAY AND WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN</b></p>
<p>Have you ever heard a man say something like: &#8220;I&#8217;m not ready for a serious relationship.&#8221; Or how about this one &#8211; &#8220;I want my freedom.&#8221; If you&#8217;ve been close in a relationship with a man and he pulled away, then of course you&#8217;ve heard this before. Men say this stuff all the time. Do you know what a man &#8220;really&#8221; means when he says these things? And, do you know WHAT TO DO that can instantly change a man&#8217;s predictable behavior of WITHDRAWAL or RESISTANCE? If not, then it&#8217;s time you stop listening to what a man will SAY TO YOU about himself and his feelings&#8230; and start paying attention to what&#8217;s going on inside his heart and mind.</p>
<p>In the past, when I&#8217;d hear my friends, other men, and even myself say, &#8220;I&#8217;m not ready for a serious relationship&#8221;, I knew that there was something more to it than a just a man who didn&#8217;t want a relationship with a woman. In fact, I found that most of the men who said this quickly ended up in relationships with OTHER WOMEN soon after. Men I knew well would be telling women they had been dating or in a relationship with, that they weren&#8217;t ready for all that came with a &#8220;real&#8221; relationship&#8230;</p>
<p>But what did they do as soon as they were single again? They would start meeting new women, go on dates, and once they found a woman they liked and were very attracted to, they&#8217;d spend most of their time with this one woman. And they would do something else&#8230; They&#8217;d stop dating any other women they might have met and move into another relationship, even though they had just ended a relationship with another women they felt strongly for because they didn&#8217;t want a &#8220;serious relationship.&#8221; It almost didn&#8217;t make sense when I first started to recognize this pattern. But keep in mind, even though these things don&#8217;t always make sense to women, they make PERFECT sense to the men going through them. Does this situation with men ever frustrate you or leave you feeling like men have NO CLUE what they&#8217;re doing?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the problem&#8230;</p>
<p>When a man says one of these things, he actually MEANS something that is different from what a woman would mean if she said the same words. Let me explain. If a woman says, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to stay home and relax today,&#8221; she probably means that she&#8217;s going to stay home, make sure that her house and life is in order, catch up on chores and bills, and then maybe watch some shows on tv. If a MAN says that he&#8217;s going to stay home and relax, he&#8217;s probably going to watch some sports, drink beer, look at pictures of women on the internet, and order take-out food. IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are reading this right now and you are a woman who watches sports, drinks beer, looks at pictures of women on the internet, and orders take out to relax, then contact me immediately at the email address below. Okay, enough kidding around.</p>
<p>Back to our topic&#8230;</p>
<p>Men are DIFFERENT from women. And the words they use often don&#8217;t mean what they SOUND like they mean. So, the FIRST thing that you have to get through your head is that just because a man SAYS something to you, it doesn&#8217;t always mean what you THINK it means. Catch my meaning?</p>
<p><b>THE BIG SECRET HE ISN&#8217;T TELLING YOU</b></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a secret that men never happen to mention about what they want with a woman, why they date, and what it means for them to have a relationship. Unfortunately, for the good women who are trying to create a great relationship with a man&#8230; and hoping that if they try hard enough to make him happy with them so he&#8217;ll stay&#8230; this little secret is causing a LOT of pain and frustration.</p>
<p>The SECRET is that most men DO want a relationship with an amazing woman. BUT&#8230; (and this is an important insight &#8211; it might take you a few hours, days, or even weeks to start to understand it for yourself) Men only want a relationship with a woman who already has about 100 other qualities that they never mention and could probably never list or describe even if they were asked to. And they&#8217;ll only end up emotionally involved and not RESISTING a long term relationship if they experience for themselves a woman who proves she has these qualities over time. In other words, if a man says, &#8220;I need to be alone right now,&#8221; what he REALLY means is: I want a woman who will make me FEEL better when I&#8217;m with her than I do in my everyday life as a single man.</p>
<p>The REALITY is that when a man says one of these &#8220;I want my freedom&#8221; statements, he actually has an IDEAL woman in mind who understands who he is and won&#8217;t make it feel like &#8220;work&#8221; when he&#8217;s with her. A man wants a woman who knows how to have and enjoy a relationship&#8230; instead of one who spends her time and energy trying to analyze, worry about, and &#8220;fix&#8221; things. The reality of this situation is that what a man REALLY wants is a woman who makes him feel MORE of the EMOTIONAL and PHYSICAL response I like to call ATTRACTION&#8230; and LESS of the worry and confusion that men don&#8217;t often like, or know how to deal with, that comes from &#8220;working&#8221; on a serious relationship. For most men, feeling and sharing attraction on a physical and emotional level IS the defintion of a good relationship. Of course, I&#8217;m not just talking about the common &#8220;short-term&#8221; kind of attraction that&#8217;s mostly physical&#8230;</p>
<p>You already know that a relationship takes a whole lot more than just this kind of thing to really work and LAST. I&#8217;m also talking about the more &#8220;long-term&#8221; kind of attraction that comes from a deeper EMOTIONAL connection and understanding. A man wants a woman who makes him FEEL great, both when he&#8217;s with her&#8230; AND when he&#8217;s alone. In other words, they want a woman who knows how to be loving and affectionate, but independent at the same time. But most men either can&#8217;t describe the things that actually make them feel this kind of CONNECTION and ATTRACTION with a woman, or they don&#8217;t WANT to have to describe it to a woman, because they want a woman who already IS those things&#8230; without having to learn them. Think about it. If you were hiring a bodyguard, would you want one that said, &#8220;Yeah, I can be a bodyguard. Just give me some time to learn&#8230;&#8221; or would you want one that already KNEW how to protect and defend at anytime, anywhere without having to &#8220;learn&#8221;? Duh. Well, the same goes with men. They don&#8217;t WANT a woman they have to train. The last thing a man wants to do is to take a woman who DOESN&#8217;T &#8220;naturally&#8221; understand these things and show her what they are and how they work.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t already know how to relate to a man in a way that appeals to him and shows him that you &#8220;get&#8221; all these things, then no amount of &#8220;talking things through&#8221; or trying to improve things together is going to help you or make him start seeing you as the woman he wants to stay with.</p>
<p><b>WHAT IS A &#8220;COOL GIRL&#8221;?</b></p>
<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the idea of a &#8220;Cool Girl.&#8221; You hear most men using the term, and some women. Men everywhere, without ever having talked to each other, share a common idea about women and use the term &#8220;Cool Girl&#8221; universally.</p>
<p>In some places the actual words are different, but the idea is the same. But what does it actually MEAN? And is it important that men all have this common belief about women? Well, after thinking about this particular topic for a long time, I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that it is a VERY important topic. At this point, I believe that a COOL GIRL is this &#8220;ideal&#8221; that men imagine when they&#8217;re saying &#8220;I want my freedom.&#8221; They&#8217;re thinking of the COOL GIRL, and then they&#8217;re imagining themselves with a woman who is this way.</p>
<p>There are a lot of aspects to this COOL GIRL. Here are a few that are important:<br />
- Lack of Insecurities<br />
- Easygoing<br />
- Humor<br />
- Unpredictability<br />
- Independent<br />
- Emotionally &#8220;balanced&#8221;<br />
&#8230;and the list goes on.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually not easy to describe a COOL GIRL in a few sentences&#8230; but the truth is that a man can recognize one INSTANTLY. For more on exactly what a COOL GIRL is, how they naturally communicate with men in a way that makes men think, &#8220;This is the kind of woman that I can see myself committing and staying with&#8230;&#8221; the best resource is Christian Carter&#8217;s &#8220;Catch Him Keep Him&#8221; ebook. Not only does it describe how men think when it comes to dating and why they commit to and stay in relationships with women&#8230; but it shows you how to start interacting with men and create a deeper gut-level emotional attraction with a man IMMEDIATELY.</p>

<p><b>THE MISTAKE WOMEN MAKE</b></p>
<p>Now, there&#8217;s a common and often irreversible mistake that women make with men when they&#8217;re dating and in relationships. Let me ask you&#8230; If you wanted to get closer to a man, have him see you as a great person, develop a strong connection, and get him to &#8220;open up&#8221; with you, then it would makes sense to do and say the things that you know work to create more love and affection, right? This is the first inclination most women have with men &#8211; to do the things that THEY think create love and connection. What if a man did this with you? What if he decided that you worked the way he did, and so he decided to come up to you and start talking about sex, sports, and quickly get close to you physically? A man might quickly be drawn in by a woman who did these things (not for all the right reasons, of course), but that doesn&#8217;t mean he should be trying them with a woman if he wants any kind of success.</p>
<p>In other words, the things that work FOR YOU as a woman are NOT what work for a MAN. Thinking this way couldn&#8217;t lead to worse results in dating situations and relationships. But TONS of women use this tactic of what I call &#8220;Selfish Love.&#8221; They treat a man the way they would want to be treated if they were going to share love and connection with a man. Another common mistake women make is taking something that a man SAYS he wants and doing it TOO MUCH, thinking that if &#8220;A little bit is good, then more must be better.&#8221; For instance, a man SAYS to you that he likes women who are physical and affectionate&#8221;. So, you start touching him all the time, grab his hand and hold it everywhere you go, and always stay right next to him.</p>
<p>Then what happens?</p>
<p>He leaves you for his ex-girlfriend after telling you he feels like you&#8217;re too &#8220;needy.&#8221; Huh? What&#8217;s going on here? This would be kind of like a woman saying, &#8220;My favorite food is chocolate&#8221; and a man thinking it would be good to feed her chocolate for every meal just because it&#8217;s her favorite&#8230; or adding chocolate to every single dish he makes for her from now on&#8230; and forgetting that 97% of what she eats still needs to be OTHER FOOD. Let me land the plane for you. Men don&#8217;t MEAN what you THINK they mean when they talk about what they want and don&#8217;t want. And if you take the things men say too literally, you&#8217;re going to wind up shooting yourself in the foot.</p>
<p><b>WHAT MEN REALLY MEAN&#8230;</b></p>
<p>So, let me &#8220;decode&#8221; what men &#8220;really&#8221; mean when they say common things. Consider this your own personal &#8220;male language translator.&#8221; Refer to it often. WHEN A MAN SAYS&#8230; &#8220;I don&#8217;t want a serious relationship right now.&#8221; WHAT HE REALLY MEANS IS&#8230; &#8220;I ONLY WANT A RELATIONSHIP with a woman who already has her act together, is attractive, healthy, independent, easy-going, confident, and who is emotionally in control of herself and her own life. When we&#8217;re together I want her to share her feelings and challenge and inspire me to keep her love and interest, and to be a great man&#8230; but I also want her to know how to do this without trying to change me or turning our relationship into MORE WORK and LESS FUN than I can have on my own.&#8221; Does this make sense? Again, he&#8217;s NOT imagining a picture of an overly-emotional, predictable, needy woman who is trying to get him to connect with her and sharing her feelings because she&#8217;s so worried about things &#8220;working out.&#8221; Big difference.</p>
<p>WHEN A MAN SAYS&#8230; &#8220;I want an independent woman.&#8221; WHAT HE REALLY MEANS IS&#8230; &#8220;I want a woman who doesn&#8217;t get upset about petty things and who knows how to keep her head when things get tough or confusing. But, I also want her to be in touch with her feelings so that: 1. She doesn&#8217;t repress her emotions and end up more frustrated and resentful of me, and&#8230; 2. When she&#8217;s alone and intimate with me, she&#8217;s open and &#8220;present&#8221;&#8230; and she&#8217;ll share her love and affection freely.&#8221; What a man is NOT doing is making a picture of a passive woman whose entire mood and state of mind is dependent on what she thinks is the state of her relationship and what it means that a man did or said something.</p>
<p>WHEN A WOMAN SAYS: &#8220;I want a guy who&#8217;s a good communicator.&#8221; WHAT SHE REALLY MEANS IS&#8230; &#8220;I want a guy who doesn&#8217;t talk all the time, because he knows how to let me know what&#8217;s on his mind without using words. I want the kind of guy that can touch me in a certain way and I feel tingles all over my body. And I want the kind of guy that can say things in a way that I understand&#8230; not crudely and man-like.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>WHAT MAKES A MAN FEEL COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY WITH A WOMAN</b></p>
<p>You might not see this right now, but for most men, there&#8217;s nothing more important than knowing that he makes a woman feel great when she&#8217;s with him. Seriously. Think &#8220;ego.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you think this truth about men through, you&#8217;ll start to have a shift in perspective and see something you&#8217;ve probably never seen before. When a woman comes to a man and wants to talk about something she thinks is wrong in their relationship, oftentimes a man gets upset not because he doesn&#8217;t want to listen to the woman or talk&#8230; But because it&#8217;s difficult for him to come to terms with the idea that the woman could be unhappy with him. A man thinks, &#8220;It makes me feel like less of a man since I don&#8217;t make her happy. If she&#8217;s unhappy, then somewhere inside I must not be good enough.&#8221; Imagine if a man was constantly expressing his feelings about your relationship to you that seemed disappointed and frustrated. How would it make you feel? Sure, as a woman you might think to yourself that you&#8217;d talk to him about it and try and make things better&#8230; But really you&#8217;d start to have one of 2 things come into your mind either consciously or subconsciously:</p>
<p>1. Something really is wrong with YOU and the way you are in the relationship, and he&#8217;s trying to tell you&#8230;</p>
<p>2. Something is wrong with HIM and how HE thinks and feels that has nothing to do with you, and it&#8217;s his own &#8220;bad thinking&#8221; about HIMSELF that&#8217;s making him obsessively unhappy&#8230;</p>
<p>Either way, a whole lot MORE DISTANCE is created between you two. Now, lots of women draw the conclusion that this means you should try and pretend things are okay when they&#8217;re not. That when you&#8217;re not having the physical and emotional connection with a man you know is possible, that you can&#8217;t communicate how you feel with a man. WRONG. My point: If you want to learn how to connect with a man on a deeper level, then what you say isn&#8217;t the most IMPORTANT thing. It&#8217;s HOW and WHEN you say it. I&#8217;ll tell you something &#8211; Learning the secrets of communicating with a man and creating a deep level of Physical and &#8220;Emotional Attraction&#8221; can be very rewarding.</p>
<p>A lot of women know EXACTLY what it&#8217;s like to be in a relationship with a man who has NO INTENTION of committing to something more serious. In other words, he&#8217;s not feeling that powerful gut-level ATTRACTION for you that makes all the fear and excuses for NOT being with you and building a great life and partnership go away without RESISTANCE. Do you know how to make a man FEEL this way when he&#8217;s with you. Or are you still trying to &#8220;CONVINCE&#8221; him with words and your own knowledge and &#8220;logic&#8221; that a close, loving, lasting relationship with him will make him and you happy together?</p>
<p>Well, let me tell you&#8230; Just like all the other things that a man &#8220;says&#8221; that he wants and doesn&#8217;t want with a woman&#8230; that most women don&#8217;t ever &#8220;get&#8221;, being the woman a man is NATURALLY ATTRACTED to on a deep level is one of the BIG ONES. This kind of attraction is THE thing that will make a man who &#8220;says&#8221; he doesn&#8217;t want a serious relationship beg a woman for a real commitment and a future together. If you understand the secrets of how attraction works for a man, you will notice that men will start to behave VERY differently around you.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to take things to the next level, and you&#8217;re REALLY SERIOUS about getting this area of your life handled&#8230; and about having TOTAL POWER AND CONFIDENCE with a man in EVERY RELATIONSHIP SITUATION from getting close for the first time, to having &#8220;the talk&#8221;, to making a lasting COMMITMENT, then you owe it to yourself to check out Christian Carter&#8217;s &#8220;Catch Him Keep Him&#8221; ebook:<br />
