Many women desire to have an intimate relationship with a man at some point in their lifetime. However, for you to have a healthy, stable and long-lasting relationship, it is important for you to know how to attract a man and keep him. The following are some tips women should consider using to attract and keep a man.
Know the type of man you want to attract
Be sure you know what you are looking for in a man. Have an idea of the qualities you want such as warmth, respect, dependable, trustworthy and caring. If you understand how men operate and what they are looking for in a woman and a relationship, you can better prepare yourself to meet and commit to the right one.
Read body language and use eye contact
You can show a man that you are interested in him by looking him in the eye and flashing a smile. This will send a message that he will be accepted and help him feel comfortable in approaching you. Learn to understand the man’s body language, the tone of his voice and his touch.
Be honest
Be yourself and build your relationship based on trust and honesty from the beginning. Tell him how you feel at the appropriate time especially if he expresses his feelings for you. You should know and understand the type of relationship you want and it is a good thing if both of you have similar relationship goals.
Have self-confidence
Most men find women who are needy, insecure and have low self-esteem as unattractive. However, there is a difference between a woman being confident and being conceited or a snob. Loving yourself is important if you are going to love others and many men like women who are successful and who are achievers.
Dress attractively
Look your best and pay attention to your appearance, including clothing choices, accessories, hairstyle, oral hygiene and body odor. Avoid wearing clothing which may make you look dull and frumpy or trashy. Maintain good posture and a healthy weight and fitness level.
Be respectful and polite
It is important for a woman to respect herself and her man. You should respect the man’s time, opinions and his possessions. As a woman, you show respect by what you wear, how you speak and how you behave in the man’s presence as well as in the presence of family and friends.
Be intelligent and smart
One of the pillars of relationships is communication. Women who are able to hold and contribute to a conversation and express themselves in an intelligent manner are appealing to men. You should be aware of news and current affairs.
Have a warm and friendly personality
People are attracted to other people who smile and who are personable. Having a hard and angry look can be a turnoff to men. Some men will avoid you if you are nagging, demanding and they may find it difficult to talk to you.
Build a healthy relationship
Take your time to build rapport and connect with the man. Invest yourself in the relationship and focus on helping to meet his needs without trying to please him at any cost. Be sure you both have the same understanding concerning the growth and commitment required for the relationship.
Have a positive outlook
Upon first meeting and speaking with the man who has your interest, you should avoid discussing certain topics. This includes controversial and negative subjects such as family problems, politics, past relationships and religion. Keep the conversation upbeat, light and fun and use humor to connect with him.
Use open communication
Your ability to communicate openly and freely with the man can be attractive as well as help to cement the relationship. It is important to use active listening to help in building trust and resolving conflicts and disagreements.
Exercise self-control
Be in control of your emotions and feelings. Avoid outbursts and extreme reactions to situations and events. Self-control contributes to a balanced, stable and secure relationship.
Give him your undivided attention
Don’t take him for granted and help him to feel important by listening to what he has to say. Show a genuine interest in him as well as the things he has an interest in. Remember to connect with him and laugh at his jokes.
Spend quality time together
Be available to spend time with him and to do things together. Be open to trying new things and having fun together. This will deepen the relationship and commitment and help you to keep the man.
