If you have really met someone special, you don't want to ruin your chances, do you? Have you fallen for guys in the past, only to have things end unexpectedly? Do you know what mistakes to avoid this time? Look out for these stumbling blocks, so that you don't ruin your chances when the right one comes along.
Don't try to get your claws in him. You might not put it so bluntly to yourself, but many women make the mistake of trying to manipulate men into making a commitment. Remember that it takes two to build a relationship, and he needs to make his own decisions. As much as you might want him to return your feelings, it will go much better if you give him some room.
If you find yourself thinking of your new guy as filling the role that you want someone to play in your life, be careful. You won't do him or yourself any favors if you are checking off items on your life plan. Being clingy or needy will not make you more attractive, and it just might ruin your chances.
Don't reveal too much at once. As outdated as it might sound in the age of social networking, where people reveal every mundane detail of their lives and TMI is common enough to warrant an acronym, it's important to keep some mystery in a relationship. If you tell him everything there is to know about you right away, you'll be out of things to talk about much too soon.
You want to reveal yourself slowly, and in small doses. Not only will this help you to remain intriguing, but you will be able to get to know him, as well. Don't insist on being the center of his attention all the time.
Don't forget about physical attraction. No, men aren't all about looks. Even a beautiful woman will lose her appeal if she has an unpleasant personality. And it doesn't take supermodel looks to be attractive.
The important thing is that you make the most of whatever you have. Men are more realistic about women's looks than you might think, but they do want a girl who takes care of herself. Make an effort to look your best with exercise, nutrition, and dressing your best.
Just a few simple tips can ensure that you don't ruin your chances of finding love with the man that you're really interested in.
