After months and possibly years of meeting strings of Mr Incompatible’s and meeting that man that makes you want to give up your morals and go bezerk, yes, that man that finally makes your heart skip a beat can be such an exciting thing.
The conversation, personality, the dress code, interests, future plans, and oh yes the most important one, “the kiss” seems to be in conjunction with yours and you think to yourself wow! I think we might just work! But hey, starting a new relationship can be such a drag!
Now after dating for a month you start worrying about the nitty gritties, you start thinking of a plan to put the cat in the bag, zip it and seal, basically taking him, to keep him. Oh! The initial stages of a new relationship can be demanding, now that you are at the “impressing” stage, you become afraid of scaring him off, boring him to death, and coming across as too needy or too easy. You don’t want him to think that you are desperate. Yah joys of being a lady!
You start doing a research on how to keep him. You bombard your male friends with questions on what men like, how you must act in front of him, you go to our ever faithful google and google tips on How to keep him interested because now you want the relationship to go from a casual one to a “my boyfriend” kinda relationship.
As you guessed it bloggers I’ve been out of action for a while and have struggled to meet men that don’t do it for me, they last 2-3 days and I just scratch them off my list, a month is the longest I have gone so far, with this guy, I really enjoying him, we’ve been dating every weekend, the excitements keeps on mounting up everytime we meet, we spend hours on the phone, and a day never goes by without checking up on each other, and I am really starting to like him and I want to keep him as my boyfriend, so with me and my research, ba re konna:
• I must not give it up too soon, at least cut the cake after 3 months, men love the cookie challenge. (which my hormones are struggling with, they don’t understand 3 months, lol)
• I must not complain or nag, men hate naggers, be pleasant, and give him a fake smile even if you are burning up inside.
• I should definitely make myself unavailable at times, miss his calls and call him back after 2hrs or not calling back at all, men love mystery.
• Refuse to go on an immediate date, I should at least tell him to make an appointment with me.
• I should never ever say the three magic words “I love you”, before he does.
• I must always look good and smell good.
• Make him feel like he is on a vacation when he visits.
• Respect him
• Make him feel jealous to lift up his blood pressure a bit, just to test how he is starting to feel.
• Be graceful
Now I have heard them all, for those who are in relationships, how did you keep your man? What are the dos and don’ts in a relationship? What do men like and dislike? I can see myself dodging some bullets,Common bloggers don’t shoot me neh? Im new……lol!
