OK, a couple blogs ago I was talking about men's
EMOTIONS and how to get guys
to OPEN UP and tell you how
he really feels.
So why would I go from talking 
about a man's gooey emotional candy
inside his hard Piñata shell . . .
To talking about dirty talk,
men's fantasies and how to
access his deepest, dirtiest mind?

 .http://tiny.cc/ml1
Well, it all goes back
to a big (and true) cliche . . .
"Women have to feel emotionally
close to have sex . . . 
And men need to have sex to feel emotionally
close."
This is why denying a guy sex
when you're having a fight is so
counterproductive.
It creates resentment and "hardens
the Piñata" while saying something
like "I'm really mad at you right
now and you're not off the hook,
but I want you" tends to motivate
guys to actually open up and apologize.
Plain and simple, if you get to know
a guy's true sexual mind and show
that you're cool with what he
wants . . .
1. He'll be more open with
you in general.
2. He'll be more motivated to
give you what YOU want sexually
and emotionally.
3. You'll both be happier.
BIG WARNING THOUGH:
Some women will read this and think
"Oh, so if I just have sex with
this guy I like a lot he'll
get totally bonded to me and fall
in love with me, right? After all, 
when I have sex with a guy I can't
help but develop feelings for him,
so it must be the same for him
too."
Unfortunately, that's not how it works.
If you're in a relationship with a guy
(or if you're on the road to being in a 
relationship with a guy) then sex is a
great emotional bonder . . .
But guys are guys.
Men tend to open up more to women
they love (or at least like)
when they have sex . . .
But guys are also 100% capable
of having unemotional, detached
sex with women too.
Confusing, huh?
I guess the best way to say this is . . .
"Sex doesn't CREATE a connection for guys,
but it EXPANDS a connection if it's already there."

We'll talk about this more later.

It's important to write down your "must-haves" regarding what you are looking for in a man before you even attempt to go out and find him.

What It Means: 
Many women have trouble finding the right man because they
haven't nailed down exactly what it is that they are looking
for in a man. Every woman knows the "types" of things that she
is looking for in "Mr. Right", whether it's conscious or
subconscious thinking.


You're probably thinking, "Why do I have to take the time to
sit down and physically write out what a man must have before
looking for him? What a waste of time!"
 
Well, there are actually a handful of benefits when it comes
to writing down your "must-haves" in a man. First off, by having
your list handy, you will be able to immediately determine if
a man "passes" the list.
 
If he doesn't, you can kindly "pass" on the opportunity and
save yourself a lot of time and heartache that you may have
 
Secondly, physically listing what you're looking for in a man
will help you determine what exactly it is that you ARE looking
for. A lot of women think they know what they want, but often
times it's not what they need for a healthy, fulfilling relationship!

Bottom Line:
Writing a list of the "must-haves" in regards to
finding "Mr. Right" will prevent you from wasting time on men
that aren't right for you and help you determine what it is
that you are looking for in a man!

Then write down how the list fits you, don't expect from others what you're not prepared to do yourself.

Ever dated a man who you shared an incredible connection with, but then he suddenly wanted his "freedom" or said he wasn't ready when you started to get close?
What's going on here? Why does this happen for so many women with men?
Is it that all men are afraid of getting close?
Or could there be something else going on here too that women are often doing that helps trigger this kind of response in a man?
I've discovered that the way lots of women talk about moving into to a more secure and COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP with a man is a HUGE part of why men stop wanting the relationship.
Too many women don't understand what they're accidentally communicating about themselves to a man when they become even the least bit unsure or uncomfortable about "where things are going."
And when it comes to deciding whether or not to move into a more serious relationship, men have a finely-tuned radar for how a woman is acting.
To learn to avoid these kinds of common male responses to a new relationship, and to know exactly what to do instead that will make a man feel inspired and excited for a relationship with you the way he hasn't felt with any other woman... you need to read THIS:
Are you one of the many single women in the world who would make an AMAZING PARTNER for a man, but can't even find a decent date?
Do you ever feel like it's impossible to understand what a man is thinking when it comes to dating and relationships?
Do you ever wish that you could just skip the "games" and the uncertainty that come with dating and get straight to something REAL?
If so, I want to share with you a few important ways to stop missing out on the love and connection you're looking for... and start finding and creating what you want with a man.
There's something I want to know about you first, though.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIRST MEET A MAN YOU LIKE
I wonder how often this has happened to you:
You meet a man you find attractive and you go out on a date...
The date goes better than you imagined, and you find him even more interesting and desirable than you thought you would.
You feel great around him, and the conversation flows.
You both connect with each other and have all kinds of unbelievable things in common.
The more time you spend with him, the more you become excited about where things could go... and that you've finally met a man who's fun, attractive, AND who actually seems open and healthy as a person.
To top it off, the chemistry you share is AMAZING... and you share a steamy good-night kiss that proves it.
You can tell he's feeling it, too.
This is something more than just another date.
It's more than two people spending time together.
This is something special and real.
That's why you can't help yourself...
Before you even hear from him again, you're telling your girlfriends all about him, what a great time you had, what it's like when you're together, and when you're going to see each other next.
You're VERY excited about your new man.
You imagine introducing him to your friends.
You even allow yourself a fantasy or two about all the fun things you'll do together in the weeks to come and what your life together could be like.
You have a GREAT FEELING about this.
Best of all, he's calling you, emailing, and he wants to see you all the time.
And he's not only attractive and charming - it turns out he's a really good person, too.
After a few more dates, you're intimate with him because you feel so comfortable together. And the sex is AMAZING.
Things are going so great that you say to yourself,
"At last! A real man I truly connect with. I better not screw this up!"
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FEAR AND DOUBT SETS IN
But just then you realize how much he is starting to mean to you, and in the back of your mind it kind of freaks you out.
And it's then that the dating and relationship nightmares from your past flash back in your mind...
You don't want to feel the pain you felt in the past ever again, and you start to feel afraid that the same things could happen again.
Your mind races with fear and anxiety.
But to keep it together, you put faith in the situation and in this man. You tell yourself that it's different this time, and that he isn't one of those other guys.
And to make sure things keep moving forward in the right direction, you start trying a little harder with him to get it right this time.
You do all kinds of nice things for him.
You make the effort to find out all about him, understand him, and help him out with the things that are going on for him in his life.
You even start to do things like favors, errands, etc., just because you want him to know how much you care and to be close to him.
In the back of your mind you really hope he'll recognize all the great things you're doing for him, and how amazing you and your relationship can be.
With all you're doing for him and your relationship, he'd be crazy not to want to be with you.
But after a few more dates, suddenly something starts to feel WRONG...
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEEL THAT "SHIFT" IN HIM
Suddenly, that same easy and free way of loving and being with each other feels different.
You realize how much you're doing for him and all the ways you're trying, and then it hits you -
He isn't making much of an effort to do anything for you or your relationship.
Not the way you are with him.
Then you realize that he's calling you less than he used to.
He doesn't seem as excited to be with you and share his thoughts and feelings as he used to be at first.
He even stops making much in the way of plans, and starts doing a lot of other things he wasn't doing before.
And since you don't want to keep calling him, you wait for his call... hoping he'll make weekend plans with you.
But Thursday comes, and then Friday, and still no call.
Your worst fears are starting to be realized.
But you don't want to overreact.
So even though you're hurt and upset that he didn't call you, you want to be with him, so you reluctantly call him.
You tell yourself there must be a good reason, and that he's been busy or something.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE DOESN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE THE SAME GUY
When you finally get a hold of him, he talks like he hardly knows you and you've never been close.
You try to be casual and ask him what he's been doing, but you want to know why he hasn't called you.
Then you find out he's going out and doing things with friends and other people.
Arggggh! He didn't even invite you!
Wait a minute...
Aren't you two an "item"? Shouldn't you be doing something TOGETHER on weekends and in your free time?
You start feeling really FRUSTRATED and CONFUSED.
Maybe he doesn't see what's going on, so you decide to let him know how you feel and "call him on it."
You tell him how upset you felt that he didn't ask you to hang out with him and his friends.
And you ask him what's going on, and why he's being this way with you.
But he doesn't respond the way you'd want or expect him too.
Instead of listening to you and your feelings... he gets irritated and ANGRY with you - as though you're "hassling" him.
After some arguing and back and forth, he seems to shift gears in the conversation and says something that really makes your heart SINK - something you had a gut FEELING you'd hear from him with this going on...
He tells you,
"Look... you're great, but the truth is that I'm not ready or in the right place for any kind of 'serious' relationship right now."
And he goes on to tell you about all the things going on in his life that are taking up his time and energy, and that he doesn't know how to settle down right now.
Ouch.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT!?
Why is he acting like you're going to get in the way of the rest of his life?
Why did he ask you out in the first place, and spend all that time sharing himself, being with you, and connecting with you if he didn't want a relationship all along?
Couldn't he have told you that when you first met, instead of asking you out?
Why did he spend all that time with you and sleep with you if he didn't want to be with you?
And how come he doesn't recognize or appreciate all the things you bring to his life, and all the things that you do for him?
At this point, you feel incredibly hurt, frustrated, unappreciated, and misunderstood.
You even become intensely UPSET and ANGRY with him, and with yourself. How could you have misunderstood what was happening and not have seen this coming!?
Why did he do all the things he did, and why did he SAY all those things that made you think HE WANTED a relationship with you?
Now, if you've experienced a situation like this with a man before, then I really feel for you... and I want to show you how to keep this very common situation from ever happening to you again.
It's all inside this special letter about my "From Casual To Committed" program which shows you exactly how COMMITMENT works for a man and how to set things up right from the start with a man:
In this program, I teach you how to avoid these kinds of situation I described above in the first place so that a man is the one PURSUING YOU and not the other way around.
*Hint: if you want a man to fall for you and want a long-term relationship, then you can't set up the dynamic where you are the one Pursuing him.
My "From Casual To Committed" program will show you what to do when a great guy who you share a real connection, chemistry, and attraction with PULLS AWAY from you just as you start to get closer and a little more "serious."
THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO WHEN A MAN SHIFTS GEARS
Now, back to our story and this frustratingly common situation women run into with men.
In the story above, for lots of women the story doesn't end there when the man says he's not ready for anything serious.
Why?
Because they either don't want to listen to the man, or they refuse to believe him.
And then what happens?
Some women actually go on to spend the next few weeks or maybe even MONTHS doing everything they can to try and win the guy back.
They think that if they can just get him to stop ignoring what it is that they share, and to not be afraid, that the guy will "come to his senses" and come back to them.
If you've ever been in this situation, or known a woman who was, here are the 5 most common ways women respond that don't work and push men away or turn them off for good:
1) Pretending you don't want anything serious either and keep on sleeping with the man "casually" in hopes that things will grow from the "physical relationship"
2) Staying close to him by trying to become his "best friend" as you help him in his life and with his problems - all the while imagining the "payoff" of a real relationship for your good deeds once he recognizes how great you are
3) Trying to make him jealous by telling him you're seeing other guys, even if you're not. Or going out with other guys and doing things with them not because you like them, but because you want him to find out and want you back
4) Getting upset with him and telling him he's dumb, immature, and acting like a little BOY...and that he's just scared of a real relationship and a commitment - and then trying to get him to have a relationship with you to "fix" himself
5) Trying to make him interested in you by complimenting him, doing nice things for him, taking up things he's interested in to be around him... and being available to him at anytime he should show interest. This is kind of like trying to be his "best friend," but different since it's often still sexual.
Here's the thing...
None of these responses work with men.
But, strangely enough, even though these universally don't get men to respond in any positive way... these are still the most common ways that women who don't understand men and dating respond.
Which begs me to ask the question...
Why do so many women respond in these ways in the first place?
The short answer is this:
If a woman responds to men in the 5 ways outlined above, it's NOT because she "learned" it by seeing it work for other women with other men.
Absolutely not.
It's because she does what MAKES SENSE to HER in the moment.
But guess what?
If you've spent enough time around men, then you've probably discovered that men DON'T MAKE MUCH SENSE.
See where I'm going here?
If you try and use what makes sense to YOU as a woman with a man... odds are you're going to get very poor results.
Which means...
If you want to start getting better outcomes and results when it comes to men, and you want to be able to communicate with a man in a way that brings him closer...
Then you're going to have to learn to STOP doing what makes "sense" to you...
And START doing what it is that makes a man FEEL ATTRACTED and MORE INTERESTED in you.
A NEW APPROACH: SHIFTING YOUR PERSPECTIVE TO GET GREAT RESULTS
In other words, the biggest challenge most women run into when it comes to "breaking through" to men and getting past the surface dating stuff and into a real relationship with a real man is not being able to see past their own MINDSET and the approach they've been using that hasn't worked.
But if you can learn to understand how your mindset affects how you interpret and respond to a man, and you can start to get the kind of PERSPECTIVE or AWARENESS that will lead you to knowing what's really going on with a man, and how to respond... then things are quickly and naturally going to fall into place for you.
If you want a QUICK primer in how men think and what makes them respond POSITIVELY to you, then You Should Go Here
 Honestly, when you read my eBook, a giant lightbulb will go off in your head, and you'll finally realize why you haven't been able to get through to guys in the past, and what to do so that you never have to go through the common story I told above.
Best of all, I'll let you read the entire thing at zero cost before you decide if you'd want to purchase it.
SO WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES A MAN TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL?
Men have all kinds of ways of thinking, seeing things, and behaviors that aren't completely conscious but are what I'll call more BIOLOGICAL or INSTINCTUAL.
These are things that have been instilled in them over thousands and millions of years of "conditioning" during mating and courtship rituals with women.
When a man is looking for a woman, a part of his instinctual "wiring" unconsciously tells him to look for a woman who is healthy and "fit." (Not just physically, but emotionally.)
This means that men are biologically wired to look for, and feel "attracted" to women who have the qualities and traits that indicate a high level of health and "fitness."
But unfortunately, this "screening process" that's going on inside a man's mind is largely UNCONSCIOUS.
In other words, a man can't and won't just walk up to a woman and say:
"Hi, I'm looking for a mate. I'd like to know if you would make a good mate for me. Are you any of the following?
-Emotional stable and secure in yourself so you'll make a great partner for me and allow me to expand in my life instead of having to stay "small" to make sure you're comfortable?
-Physically fit and healthy so you can conceive a healthy child, give birth, and raise him/her?
-"Genetically fit" so that you have a high likelihood to bear successful offspring by passing off great qualities like size, strength, intelligence, immunity, etc?
-Intelligent, "funny", and resourceful so that you can not only be a mate that makes me feel attracted to you and want to conceive lots of children... but also help in this world of hard- to-come-by resources?
-Going to make a great mother who can care for our child and raise it while I'm out trying to "provide"?
Catch my drift?
This is part of the reason why so often a woman will ask a man why he's feeling one way or another... or why he's acting different or not interested in a relationship and he can't explain it.
It's just the way he FEELS.
Either he FEELS ATTRACTED. Or he doesn't.
Of course, these "biological buttons" aren't the only thing going on inside a man's mind.
HOW A MAN ACTIVELY CHOOSES A PARTNER
Men do have more CONSCIOUS processes for the way they choose a woman, and for the way they feel.
If trying to cram all this into your head and understand what it means, and how to respond to all these things while trying to have a real conversation with a man seems ridiculous and daunting to you, it should.
The reality is that you can't sit and think to yourself... "Gee, I'd like him to think I'd make a good mate who could rear successful and healthy children, I'll tell him about how healthy me and my family are."
It just doesn't work that way.
A man looks at much subtler "cues" about a woman that tell him what to think.
Some of these "cues" are:
-Physical Appearance (the obvious one): If you have a specific hip-to-waist ratio, without consciously "measuring" it, a man will see it and possibly feel a physical attraction
-Health: Things like how white the whites in your eyes are, your scent, and the tone and nature of your skin are all subtle indicators of a healthy immune system. Men find white eyes, certain scents, and smooth skin attractive not because they know they indicate that a woman is healthy and will have a high likelihood of success for offspring, but because they FEEL ATTRACTED to these things for some reason.
-"Emotional Fitness": If a woman has the kind of attitude and "vibe" about her that is fun to be around, stimulating, exciting, and positive and consistent... then a man unconsciously will see her as a good long-term mate.
To find out all the things that truly interest and attract men, as well as the more subtle and complex things that make a man become EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED with a woman...it could take you a long long time to figure out - years of unnecessary trial and error.
Luckily, I've done the work for you.
I've spent my time doing years of research, observation, interviews, etc. to get deep inside the mind of men... and I've also spent years talking with women about every question under the sun about how to create the love life they want with a man.
It also doesn't hurt that I happen to be a man myself who has been through all kinds of situations in dating and relationships with women... and I have the perspective of how these things work for a man.
Now I want to share what I've learned with you... and help you the way I've helped literally thousands of other women.
HOW A MAN'S COMMITMENT PROCESS REALLY WORKS
If you'd like to learn how men think when it comes to the dating process... and how a man really thinks about a woman and getting involved in a real relationship with her, then I've got just what you need.
Women who don't understand what the dating and COMMITMENT PROCESS is like inside a man's mind seem to keep running into the same painful situations, frustrations, and traps with men.
The way a man grows close to a woman, the reasons why he chooses her over another woman, and when and why he decides to start sharing himself with her and growing a real and committed relationship is simply different than it is for most women.
My program From Casual to Committed explains the entire dating and "commitment process" of a man, and I delivered this program live to real women like you.
It was a huge success, and it felt great to know that I not only answered the tough questions women had and needed answered in the live event...but that they were able to take what they learned, apply it in their lives, and get REAL RESULTS with the man in their life.
One of the biggest "make it or break it" points for women in relationships with men is when you start to grow close and want to move from just a casual and unspoken thing into a deeper and more serious relationship.
If you've ever felt "stuck" in your love life because you didn't know how to break through the "casual dating" stage with a man and move into a real and committed relationship, I can help.
If you know much about men, then you probably already know that the answer with a man in this situation is NOT to ask him for a commitment.
Lots of women try this and become frustrated and baffled when the man they thought they were close to completely pulls away from them and even tries to end the relationship all together.
If you want to grow your relationship with a man, the best way to move into a committed relationship isn't to come up against his "EMOTIONAL RESISTANCE" to commitment when you bring it up.
The best relationships that women enjoy most, and that last the longest, are the ones where THE MAN is leading the woman into a committed relationship.
Where HE is asking HER to COMMIT TO HIM.
For the greatest chance at happiness and success with a man, and to be able to quickly and easily move from a casual situation to a real and committed relationship with a man, the answer is to learn:
1) How the commitment process works for him, and what each of the critical steps and experiences are that he needs to have before he'll truly physically and emotionally commit
2) How to make a man want to be with you and lead you in to a committed relationship
3) How to keep your relationship growing and healthy so that you both stay emotionally involved and fulfilled by the relationship
This is exactly what you'll learn in my From Casual To Committed program.
If you really want love in your life, and you want it to LAST on your next go round... then don't wait for your relationship to figure itself out.
Empower yourself.
Don't wait for a man to figure it out and make your relationship work for you.
Don't wait until you're dating the right guy and in a great relationship to learn how to help it grow and make it work with him.
Make it happen now.
I've done all the research and study and have already helped tens of thousands of women finally create the love and relationship they worried wasn't possible before.
So it's time for you to feel what love is meant to feel like when you know how to get a man to help make it last with you.

I'll talk to you again soon, and best of luck in life and love!
Your Friend,

Today I'm going to flat out try to sell
you on joining the Secret Survey program like thousands of women have before you. 
 

 
I've been working really hard to give you some
great content and have been talking to my friend Michael about his new product, "Why Do Men Lie" just to get some feedback, anyway, he agreed to write a post, here it is.

This is a must read

Hi, Michael here with some "real" results from my new product "Secret Survey" 

I have some really positive feedback from people who have got their hands on this, one thing though, and this is important......
   I want to know right now if you're ready
to commit.
 
Not to me (I've got a girlfriend already and she's amazing.)
 
But to yourself.
I think we're friends by now, so
I'm not going to try any hard-sell
tactics on you.
 
Instead, let me just share with you
what women just like you are saying
about the program . . . 
 
"I am on lesson 4 and I have to say I was a 
total skeptic but not anymore! I also bought
 your Text The Romance and understanding men
 better is such an eye opener. I have received
 more attention from bf in last 24 hrs than 
I have in last month. Love you! You are brilliant!"
 - Connie Stewart
 
"Michael, I just finished with Lesson 5 and I LOVE IT! 
You had me laughing at some of what you said in that 
lesson which I find very true! I went a little ahead 
of myself on the lessons but I had to find out about
 porn lol. I will definitely do the exercises with 
my boyfriend the next time I see him. My guy DOES 
watch porn and he told me straight up early into 
us dating that he does which didn't bother me because
 I KNOW guys watch porn, it's a given. I watch porn 
also and I told my guy what type of porn I watch 
when I do watch it. Of course he was fine with my
 openness because I am an open book with my man. 
I have to admit...I was a little upset at first 
when he told me he watched porn but then I was
 fine with it. After this lesson I am more
 than fine with my man watching porn!
 Thank you Michael!! :)" - Wong Broberg
 
"Thank you for the shift in perspective!
 Your program could not have come at a 
better time." - Caryn Foster
 
"Day 3 of Secret Survey & I've learned 
so much already, not only about men but 
about myself. Can't wait to go more in 
depth with the program. In a new relationship 
, so this came out at d perfect time. Btw, 
thank u so much for d Audio in each of 
the segments. With my busy life, hard 
to make time to read, however I can 
listen at home in the car, at my 
leisure. Thank you Michael :). So
 worth every penny! I hope this one
 is the one. My heart is open. Just 
want to do things different this time.
 I'm taking your material & lessons to
 heart. Wish me Love :). Btw he's taking
 me horseback riding tomorrow ! So excited!!!" 
- Claudia De Anda 
 
"I bought secret survey and love it!!
 I can relate to lessons 3 & 4 very well.
 I over analyse a lot and I over analysed
 the situation between and my guy friend 
that I like from a couple of weeks ago. 
Can't wait for lesson 5 because I want to
 know why some guys compare you to their
 ex's or other women. It's confusing and
 I get frustrated about that." - Becky Leevey
 
I'm not going to talk about the "Secret Survey" program too much more over email with you,
so if you're ready to get results like these
you really should go here right away:
 
 
Hope you liked it....more soon...

How to have difficult conversations

Is there something you need to say but dared not say it? Maybe you want to heal a family rift or tell someone some home truths?  You can do this without disastrous consequences.

We know that communication is essential for happy living, when it comes to tricky subjects we often clam up.  Conversation is a powerful tool but we have not been taught how to use it properly when there is something difficult to say.

Here are some steps towards “Having that conversation”

Find your courage

If you have spent a long time avoiding this conversation, start by writing down the risk’s and benefits of speaking up.  Difficult conversations are uncomfortable because they are about things that feel uncomfortable, such as the state of your marriage or relationship, your finances, your relationship with others. But, staying silent and allowing resentment to fester is often worse.  So, look at it logically and dig deep to find the courage to speak.

Prepare your words

This is crucial. First, decide what “Not” to say, then Imagine what the other person is likely to reply and work out how you will cope.  Thinking the conversation through, anticipating the difficulties and how you will respond, will increase your chance of success.  It also means that “Explosive” comments are less likely to come tumbling out of your mouth in the heat of the moment.
You also need a positive frame of mind.  If you are constantly telling yourself “I will be rubbish at this and she/he will hate me” ask yourself, is that true? Will your loved one really hate you for being honest? It is more likely that they will be relieved that the discussion is taking place.  ==>Go here<==

State your case clearly

Start by stating the facts in a way that no-one can argue with.  For example, if you’re trying to heal a family rift try, “we have not been getting on for such a long time and I feel really sad about it”.  Then make it clear that you don’t intend to fight.  For example “I don’t want to hurt you or make things more difficult than they already are but I do think we should talk”.  If you have been struggling with the idea of having the conversation, say so. Describing your dilemma will help the other person understand that this is genuinely difficult for you.
Your tone of voice is crucial, it needs to be calm and measured.  If you are feeling emotional, frustrated or angry, let off steam by speaking to a friend before you have “Theconversation”

Speak the truth and listen

Hold your nerve when it comes to naming difficult emotions.  If you are feeling angry, agitated, resentful, then you can, and must, say so.  If you are truthful but stay calm it won’t destroy your relationship.  If anything, the other person will see your honesty and respond in a similar way.
In return, listen carefully to what they say and acknowledge their feelings.  Phrases like “I’m really sorry this is making you so sad” or “I’m not surprised you’re feeling  angry” will let them know you are listening to and hearing their view.
Remember, it is essential that you are completely honest with the other person, any sign of holding back or “Vagueness” on your part and the other person will close down, worse still, shut you out.

 Show respect and you will reap the rewards

If you remain respectful and stay positive, there is a far better chance that the other person will as well.  If you talk down to the person, show contempt or are dismissive, the other person will see this as a slight and will kill the conversation on the spot.

It is never too late

No matter how hard you prepare, you cannot predict the outcome of the conversation.  Do not let that stop you from having it.  Whatever happens, you will feel lighter and more free for finally having said what needed to be said.  There is always the chance the conversation will go far better than you can imagine.
Too many of us take refuge in silence.  This simply eats away at us and our loved ones until there is nothing left.  Far better to bring things out in the open, rather than let them fester under the surface of a precious relationship.

Todays question:
How would you feel if you do not have “The conversation” and the person you need to have it with passes away tomorrow?

If you know the man in your life loves you, but he doesn't seem "in love with you" anymore, and inside you're afraid it's something about you or your relationship that you don't know how to fix.

I want you to know you have the power to quickly
turn your relationship around in literally
minutes.

You can get back the closeness and connection in your relationship - IF you know how to re-ignite
the positive feelings that drew him to you in the first place.

Do you remember how strong his feelings were when he first decided that you were the one for him?

I've helped thousands of women reconnect with the man in their life and transform their relationship
in literally a few hours or days.

And I've showed each woman who's been able to transform their relationship how to do it with the
simple set of powerful tools you can discover right here:

===> Go Here <===

Now let's get to the juicy stuff about men and love.

Has a man ever said to you, "I love you, but I'm just not IN LOVE with you anymore"? (Hurt's like hell)

And then told you it's over because he just doesn't "feel it" for you anymore?

Or how he just isn't in the right place to go on in a relationship? "It's not you, it's me."

Well, let me make you feel a whole lot better right away: This is extremely common among men,
and it often has NOTHING to do with the woman he's with.

You could be the most amazing woman he has ever met - beautiful, kind, successful - but if a man is not in the right place in his life and hasn't reached the level of maturity that a real relationship requires of him, he's going to cut you loose.


Meanwhile, let me take you on a little trip inside the mind of a man to that place where he processes the emotions of love so you can understand what that means to him.

WHAT A MAN MEANS BY "IN LOVE"

I'm going to explain something to you about men and love, and I'll try and keep it short. I'll have to leave some big pieces out, but you'll get what you need to know.

I'll start by giving you what I hope will be a kind of shift in your perspective about men...

As much as men are different, when it comes down to it, men are human. And because they're human, they have more in common with women than they have that makes them different. Which means that men share many of the same dreams, fears, frustrations and worries that you do on a basic level.

One of the biggest fears that men have, as do many women, is that they'll end up in a "loveless" relationship that isn't about fulfillment or passion and appreciation, but about entitlement, obligation and where the two people in the relationship are working kind of "against" each other more often than supporting and loving each other.

Now, with that said, men who spend a lot of time with women often grow close and connected, and they develop a more "familiar" type of love as time goes on. This is a great kind of love to feel and to share, and it's the kind that usually takes months or years to develop.

It bonds a couple together in a very long term "nesting" kind of way, as it's based on comfort and predictability and stability.

On the other hand, men also experience another kind of love that isn't based on the familiar and the predictable. In fact, this "other" feeling of love is actually based on things that are New and Unpredictable

And these are the qualities that I've discovered make up that magic emotion called ATTRACTION.

WHAT KEEPS ATTRACTION ALIVE

Have you ever been in a relationship with a man where he started out doing all kinds of things to surprise you, show you his appreciation, and come up with new things for you both to do together?

And what happened when you no longer felt this excitement that came with surprises and the unexpected things he did that drove you wild?

Well, you might have felt as though something had broken down in the relationship somewhere, or
that the man had stopped making an effort or caring as much.

In other words, you stopped feeling that kind of love from him that used to drive you wild with excitement to see him and be with him. And without that, it felt like something was missing or gone that needed to be there.

Unfortunately, no amount of asking or pleading with a man to change back to the way he was ever really works in this situation. And not only does it hurt that he's changed, but you lose that great connection and the attraction you were feeling with him.


Know what I'm talking about? Ever experienced this with a man?

   I thought so.

Well, the reality is that men often experience this same kind of thing with women.

See, when a relationship starts to get more comfortable, more predictable, and has more routines in it, the kind of intense passion that a man once felt can sometimes "fizzle out."

Of course, what fizzles out isn't just about sex and physical attraction... I'm talking about what I call "emotional attraction."

THE ONE FEELING THAT MAKES HIM FALL IN LOVE...AND STAY IN LOVE

Emotional attraction is the thing that gets a man to open up, to share his feelings and connect with a woman on a deeper level than he usually allows in to his life. It's what BONDS a man to one woman over the long term.

When a man says that he doesn't feel "in love" with you anymore, what he's really saying is...

"I used to feel both physical and emotional attraction with you. But the way our relationship has been, I'm not feeling much, if any, of that emotional attraction now. And because of that, what I feel in my heart and my head tells me that something is `off' in our relationship, and I don't know what to do about it."

Now, if this doesn't sound "fair" and like a man is removing himself from responsibility - I get it. Should a man do more to get the relationship back on track and reconnect the relationship from his end?

Yes. He could and should.

But the REALITY is that in this situation, the man is NOT doing this, and he either has no idea what to do about it, or has decided that things aren't working based on how he's feeling.

You can either choose to try and go against the reality of what other people in your life feel and experience (and have a very difficult time with it)...

Or you can take a moment to simply accept the situation as it is and CHOOSE what you want to do
about it - which puts you back in a positive and grounded place of power in your life).

KEEPING EMOTIONAL ATTRACTION WORKING FOR YOU

If you're sensing that a man is feeling less connected to you - or he has even told you he's not "feeling it" anymore - here's how to turn the situation around:

Step 1) Stop focusing on what's NOT WORKING.

What you focus your energy on is what you end up seeing more of and getting more of. Instead of focusing on what's NOT working, take some time to access the positives of the your man and your relationship, and make it a point to let your man know that you appreciate these positive aspects.

Often times your hurt and anger will give you narrow vision and prevent you from acknowledging what's actually working in your relationship.

Widen the lens and look at the bigger picture of your relationship. What's keeping you two together? Bring your energy, awareness, and appreciation there.

While this sounds simple and too airy-fairy to create any real change, you'll be surprised at the
effect it will have. When you shift your attention and your thought pattern and "energy", the man in
your life will feel the shift in you, and it will catch his attention and inspire him to be more present in the relationship with you.

   Your thoughts have the power to create your feelings. And your feelings have the power to inspire your man to want to connect with you, or want to pull away.

Step 2) Give yourself and him some "clear space".

   When someone asks for or creates distance or space, you can handle it one of two ways. You can
either resist it and try to grab on tighter, which only backfires. Or you can allow the space, and even take some space for yourself.

   When you do this, something magical happens. First, you feel empowered over the situation so
that your emotions do not overtake you. Second, men often move past their own doubts and fears
in their own time when given space (a few hours or days) to do so.

Step 3) Create attraction and re-connect

   If things are stalling in your relationship with a man but you used to feel very connected to him, this is actually good news for you. That's because you already have all the ingredients you need to re-light the fire of the relationship.

If he was physically and emotionally attracted to you before, you can inspire the same level of closeness again.

   Here's how...

   Remember what I said before about attraction and love happening for a man because of NEWNESS
and UNPREDICTABILITY?

Well, if things have fizzled out with a man you had a close, connected relationship with, you can jump-start things by injecting new and unpredictable things into how you relate with him.

So, if you normally have the same weekend routine, mix it up. Come up with something different and interesting to do.

Pick a sport that you can do with him, go out and meet new people together, explore different
ways to be intimate together, plan a trip somewhere you've always wanted to go to.

And if you are together all the time, spending time apart as in step two creates newness and unpredictability, too.

For a complete, step-by-step plan that guides you in re-igniting the passion and connection in a relationship, I strongly suggest you check out

Most women are aware, on some level, of the fact that acting insecure, and begging a man to validate you or praise you, are 'bad'. 

But this doesn't leave you with a lot of scope for when life gets in the way and screws up all those 'rules' that you've got in place about how you 'should' feel or behave.
 For example: let's say you're feeling really low or really insecure about something. According to the 'insecurity is bad' rule, you've got two choices: either you can do what MOST women do, and give in to your feelings of insecurity, and go ahead and ask him in one way or another to validate you, praise you, or otherwise 'rescue you from  yourself'...  ...and then, usually, justify it to yourself afterwards on an emotional level because you didn't know how else to make yourself feel better...

OR, you could simply point-blank refuse to seek approval or validation from anyone, but, without a strong backup plan, continue to FEEL TERRIBLE ANYWAY.  Neither of those options is appealing. 

On the OTHER hand, when you're able to take care of INSECURITY and UNCERTAINTY at the ROOT: meaning, that you stop asking from others what you're not willing to give yourself... and you stop looking EXTERNALLY for 'the answer' ... and you stop buying into the TRAP that, if you just 'try hard enough' or 'wait long enough', those bad feelings (and the way they make you act) will finally stop plaguing you...

...THEN, you put yourself in an unassailable and CONSISTENT position of complete power over yourself and your world. (Read: you become IRRESISTIBLY attractive.)

To do this, you've simply got to become aware that the only way to truly eradicate anxiety and insecurity, and the effects that these things have on your behaviour and your relationships, is to simply  STOP looking for 'proof' from outward sources, and decide to become your own 'tower of power'. 

YOU are now the one who will decide what is 'OK' and what is 'not OK'. Not anybody else. You now come first. Period.  And guess what? Things like insecurity and anxiety disappear as a NATURAL BYPRODUCT of this new approach - along with all the attraction-killing neediness, clinginess, and jealousy that you may have UNWITTINGLY been enacting up till now. 

In practical terms, this means that you will experience an ever-so-subtle change in your everyday life that really top-quality human beings (of both genders) will sit up and take notice of. 

This is real emotional hardball we're talking about here: the 'intangibles' that mean SO MUCH, and that go such a long way, but that you can't 'fake'. It's got to be the real deal.  When you're no longer operating out of a place of FEAR, and you're no longer scrabbling to get 'enough' of anything, everything about the way you interact with your life shifts just a LITTLE BIT...

...and you literally empower yourself to put your best foot forward, make decisions that are appropriate to you and your life, and exude an understated, but unmistakable, 'real-deal' self-confidence.  THIS is the kind of confidence that really attracts top-notch men. It's the kind of confidence that's based on a genuine acceptance of yourself. 

Question: have you ever noticed that it's very difficult to make any kind of lasting change, unless you feel accepted in and of yourself already?

 Same thing goes here. Until you accept YOURSELF, and your own opinion of yourself, nobody else will either. And that's the kind of thing that keeps you stuck in the same repetitive, destructive habits and behaviour... TRYING to change ... but not understanding why it's not happening yet. 

 Confused? 

That's OK. This is some pretty deep stuff, and it can take a while to get your head around. But here's the basic layout:

1. Fear and insecurity are UNATTRACTIVE. They convey to other people the idea that you are somehow 'less than', and encourage other people to treat you as if this were true. 

2. Most people live their daily lives out of fear and anxiety, believing that if they can just get X to happen (promotion, new relationship, shed a dress size), those negative feelings will go away and they'll be 'happy'. 

3. This is not true. Fear and anxiety, if you're feeling them, are a reflection of YOURSELF and how you habitually deal with the world, NOT a reflection of what's happening in your life. 

4. Until you change how you deal with yourself at a root level, you will never be able to change those behaviours and will continue to be at the mercy of insecurity and anxiety. 

5. As long as you continue to feel these negative emotions, you will be likely to act in a way that highlights that insecurity. These actions usually come to the forefront around men, and can poison your ability to create lasting, fulfilling, healthy relationships. 

6. When your actions are motivated by insecurity and/or anxiety, this shows through to the man (or men) in your life ... usually in the form of VALIDATION-SEEKING, which is often perceived as 'weakness' and proof that you are somehow lacking on some level. Needless to say, this usually drives quality people AWAY from you. 

7. The only way to ensure that your behaviour is consistently coming from a place of HIGH VALUE and
CONFIDENCE is to deal with insecurity at the root: by recognizing the need to adjust your relationship with yourself, to stop asking others to give you what you won't give yourself, and to look WITHIN YOURSELF instead of externally for security and confidence. 

8. Once this happens, all the behaviours you didn't even know about that were tainted with anxiety, insecurity, or fear, literally VANISH. Instead, you exude an innate strength and confidence that not only draws positive situations and people into your life, but that men find VERY sexy.

When Would Now Be A Good Time To Change Your Life

Gals, if you want super practical tips on exactly HOW to increase your confidence around guys you want to get to know better, then you should check THIS out:


   Do you ever catch yourself thinking that 'insecurity is just a part of life'?

Or that, on some days, you feel STRONG and GREAT about yourself... but that on other days, you don't have a lot of control over how secure and strong you feel... and that you're pretty much at the mercy of these powerful emotions?

Have you ever felt yourself asking, even BEGGING, for 'approval' or praise from someone in your life (usually, a man) only to have it backfire on you?

 Maybe he becomes more distant over time... maybe you start to 'drift apart'... maybe the 'balance' in the relationship shifts and he becomes more critical and dissatisfied for no apparent reason. 

This is no coincidence. When it comes to attracting, and sustaining, quality relationships into your life, a strong sense of confidence in yourself is not only SEXY, but it's actually MANDATORY. 

Without it, you begin to be motivated by things like INSECURITY... and you inadvertently fuel things like NEEDINESS... and often, this happens without you even realizing it. 

 And for most men, 'neediness' and 'insecurity' are the ENEMIES of attraction, and can literally kill a relationship. 

 If you've ever had a man tell you he needs 'space' before, you'll know what I'm talking about. 
 It's near-impossible to feel attraction for someone who's bought into the habit of acting like a second-class citizen - i.e. someone who's lacking in CERTAINTY about themselves. 

Question:
Did you know that, in a lot of ways, men and women are more alike than you may have realized?

Yeah, I'll vouch for the fact that our BRAINS and BODIES are literally constructed differently, and that we have different instincts and reactions to many situations.   But in other situations, we literally have almost the SAME THOUGHTS. 

 One area that this is HUGELY TRUE of is the area of ATTRACTION. Men and women both tend to be attracted to members of the opposite sex who appear to be 'high value' on the social scale. 

In other words, who act on a consistent level as though they are 'worth something' and that they expect a certain level of respect and value from others at ALL TIMES. No exceptions.

Unfortunately, many women are predisposed to feeling 'needy' or 'insecure' about themselves ... which tends to kick any ability to act with confidence directly in the butt.  

   I'd venture to say that most women are affected by a lack of self-confidence on a near-daily basis

Even for the most confident woman, situations are still going to arise where she gets knocked into a situation of uncertainty or overwhelmed from time to time...and this is when those thoughts like, 'I don't know what I'm doing, I'm not good enough, what do I do now' start to surface. 

And this happens more and more frequently to those of us who believe, on some level, that self-confidence is something that just 'happens naturally' as a RESULT of the kinds of success that you're enjoying in your life.  In other words, the belief that if you are 'good enough', then you will have a REASON to feel self-confident, and so you will BECOME confident as a result of that.

 No, no, no!!

This is NOT true - and in fact, it's absolutely CRIPPLING when it comes to your own, authentic irresistibility.  The fact of the matter is that the CONFIDENCE is what comes FIRST ... and THEN you get the success. 

If you're not confident about something in your life - perhaps you feel anxious, insecure, or afraid about relationships, men, your job, money - know this: what you feel ABOUT something is a reflection of how you feel about YOURSELF.

 In other words, it's an inherent part of WHO YOU ARE. 

If you are feeling fearful or insecure 'about something' in your life, your mind will try to trick you into believing that, as soon as that thing or circumstance goes away, those fears and that insecurity will go away, too.

But the mind-boggling truth is that they won't. They will simply latch onto something ELSE. And thus, you'll become trapped in an on-going rat race of fear, insecurity, and mental turbulence, while continuing to wait for X to happen so that those feelings will leave you alone ...

   ...BUT THEY WON'T.

If you are experiencing fear or insecurity, it's not a reflection of your LIFE and what's happening in it. It is a reflection of YOU and the relationship you have with yourself.

A major cause of this on-going 'rat race' of insecurity and doubt is doing what MOST PEOPLE on this planet do, and looking for 'validation' or 'approval' from other people.  A.k.a., 'proof' that you are a good/attractive/smart/insert-adjective-here woman.


Unfortunately, when you look EXTERNALLY for the solution, it never comes ... and you simply end up polluting each day with needy, desperate, fear-motivated actions, driving great men, great
PEOPLE, and great situations AWAY from you, and NEVER getting any closer to being truly confident and OK with who you are. 

It's a self-perpetuating state, in other words.

However! There is a really easy way to get in tune with your own strength, your OWN approval, and your own confidence ... in such a way that literally ALL neediness, all clinginess, and all fear-based behaviours are INSTANTLY rendered null and void. 

Here it is. 

First of all: you've got to become AWARE of the fact that the answer does not lie 'without'. There is no person and no situation anywhere on Earth that can fill that void within you. You are never going to get 'enough', and you are never going to be 'secure', until you recognize that the answer is not OUT THERE...

 ...it's inside YOU. 

And step two: you've got to realize that YOU are the one with the power here. When YOU decide to stop relying externally for validation and approval, and you decide to give it to YOURSELF, you literally retrain  your brain into accepting that 'right now' is all there is. 

And when you connect the dots like this, something absolutely MAGICAL starts to happen. 

It's like plugging up a hole where all your strength and irresistibility had been draining away. The second you realize on a gut level that 'enough' lies within YOU, and that all you have to do is STOP looking for it elsewhere, that thirst for 'more' just... goes away.  

When you are able to draw your strength from within yourself, and stop TRYING SO HARD to get it from other people, several extremely liberating and interesting things begin to happen. 

Firstly: all your mental 'noise' calms down and you instantly shed all the fear, and all the desperate need for control, that comes when your 'sense of self' and your 'security' come from
EXTERNAL FACTORS like jobs, money, position, looks, and what other people say or think. 

You no longer talk and act out of a place of FEAR... and this happens unconsciously. Effortlessly. And yes, other people notice. You begin to ever-so-quietly assume control of your own life and your own irresistible, authentic attraction to the people and situations that you want.

Secondly: you begin to exude the kind of natural magnetism that literally DRAWS PEOPLE (men
AND women) to you, without even TRYING. 

It is EFFORTLESS. 

Imagine, for a second, what kind of a result this 'effortless magnetism' could have on your love life. 

   Hmmmmm!

Let me ask you a question.  Have you ever had a period in your life when you've been very hard on yourself about something?

If so, you'll probably have noticed that, around about this time, OTHER PEOPLE began to be quite hard on you, too.   This is far from coincidental.  

What you feel and believe, you attract more of. (In this case, because you were being hard on yourself, you threw out the welcome mat for criticism and similarly harsh treatment from others.) And, of course, the converse is also true. When you stop asking for something as basic as approval from other people, and start giving it to YOURSELF, a funny thing happens:  you start to get more of it from other people than you would have previously thought possible. 

So if you DITCH all the negative, fear-based 'noise' taking place in your mind... and make a conscious decision to STOP TRYING SO HARD to get approval or validation from others ... and use your
OWN opinion and your OWN feelings as a gauge for how you're doing in love and life...

... then you will attract, EFFORTLESSLY, people and situations into your life that will support you in this new-found empowerment. 

You'll also find that this approach to life has a massive effect on the level of PURE ATTRACTION. 

I think that's enough for one day, part two tomorrow.  If you would like some FREE ebooks on how to improve your confidence, Assertiveness Law of Attraction, go to http://www.slfhelp.com  Nothing to buy, just lot's of free stuff.
