The technique of withdrawing communicates to a man that a woman values her dignity more than she does a man’s attention, and therefore will not waste her time and affections on a man who doesn’t recognize her worth.

Why can’t I just keep in touch with someone I’m interested in without it being an issue?” Well, it’s because we men are very unique creatures when it comes to our egos and our sense of entitlement. We only value the things that we’ve worked for. Therefore, if you always lead the interactions, you’re only making him lazy.

I’m talking about those things that if you were even just a bit more flexible with, guys might find you far more pleasant to be around and easy to please. (By the way, this is one of the keys to winning with men: Be hard-to-have but easy-to-please.)

If you wish to keep a man interested long enough to at least secure a relationship, do not rush to be his all. For most men, their desire to commit to a woman follows their attraction for her.

Set your standards high and be willing to assert yourself and defend your personal boundaries with the men you date.

Relationship-minded men want a woman who has her own standards and who clearly defines and defends her personal boundaries. No man’s dream-girl is a doormat unless the man in question is looking for a free ride at a woman’s expense.

Never sacrifice your deepest passions in life just to keep a man interested in you.

No matter how great you think a guy is, never settle or sell yourself short just to secure a relationship. Men don’t want women who’ll give up everything just to be with them. Your dignity should always be more important than your relationship status.

Men commit to that which they have greatly esteemed and placed a high value on. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a serious, committed relationship, but do not neglect being his conquest. Because at the end of the day, what high-quality, relationship-minded men really want is to fall in love and be seduced by the right woman.

If a man tells you he’s not looking for anything serious…believe him. And if a guy is clearly giving you those early warning signs that he’s only in it for the short-term…get out before you get too comfortable and things become too difficult to break off.

Here’s the thing: most men are less likely to stick around if they can have their way with a woman sexually without having to make a significant investment in her first and foremost. I say ‘significant investment’ because a man values that which he has sacrificed greatly in order to attain.
