• When it comes to securing a man’s interest in commitment, your best strategy is to behave as if you like him, but you aren’t that interested in locking him down. The objective is not to be standoffish, just low key. The lower the profile, the more he’ll come in for the kill. And by “low profile” I mean, appear happy to see him, just don’t assume the role of his girlfriend. When you don’t step into that role, he’ll lower his guard and begin to pursue you.

• Whenever you are too worried about someone else’s approval, that person loses respect for you. When a man sees you knocking yourself out from the jump start, you are setting yourself up for a lopsided relationship, because you reinforce every guy’s unspoken belief: “If you ignore her, she’ll seek your validation and reassurance.” Approval then becomes his only “contribution.” When you need his approval, it blinds you and you quickly become the vulnerable one in the relationship. Adopt the philosophy of “approval neither desired nor required.”
