Sex and the Single Lady

Single life is getting dull. The random hook-ups are losing their appeal and you've been seriously considering (okay, yearning for) something more exclusive.

Yet when you attempt to make things less casual with your flavor-of-the-week, he suddenly becomes less available.
What gives?

Stop pouting. It's time to evaluate your actions. What could you be doing that's holding you back from a romantic relationship?

Some things to think about …

Never make the first move. If he is interested in you, he will approach you. Definitely flirt, but try not to come on too strong. Men are entertained by the mission to get you to want them.

Be 'chill.' Don't talk about him, especially to his friends. If you have hooked up a few times and you make him the topic of every conversation, it could very easily get back to him. Men like a challenge; once he knows you are interested, the chase is over.

Never follow him out at night. If he winds up where you are, great! If not, don't worry; there is always next weekend. The worst thing you can do is ruin your night by trying to go where you think he will be. Trust me, you will get screwed. Go where you want to go. More often than not your smart decision will bless you with good fortune.

Do NOT sleep with him. The biggest mistake you can make is to give it to him right away. Not only will you drive him away with your promiscuity, but he will also lose his respect for you as a potential partner. If you have slept with him, he can only imagine whom else you have slept with.

These tips are simple ways to keep your guy interested. However, don't expect immediate boyfriend/girlfriend status; fostering a committed relationship takes time.
