About
90% of the questions I am asked in face to face real life by actual
friends and also by lovely stranger-to-me messaging women essentially
boil down to the same thing:
Does he like me?
Does he love me?
Does he still like me?
Does he still love me?
And,
of course, the answer is, how can I possibly know? In some cases I've
never met you or him so I have absolutely no way of knowing from a one
sided email. But, the response I give is pretty much always the same.
And, I think, pretty much always accurate.
Instead
of trawling through his messages looking for hidden meanings 'he said 'see you later' at the end of his text, does that mean he WANTS to see me later, or like he feels he's being held at gunpoint to see me later?'
Or
analysing every single look he gives you or doesn't give or times he touches your
shoulder and agonising yourself to death over these meaningless things.
The answer lies in this one simple
question.
Do you like yourself?
If
the answer is yes, then the chances are he probably does too. It is no
surprise or huge secret that people like spending time with people who
are comfortable in their own skin. If you are happy to spend time in
your own company, are happy with the way your life is and are brimming
with self confidence. Then why would he not like you? The only reason I
can see is because he is a class A idiot.
Any
amount of time you spend agonising about the things that are wrong in
your life, your bodily defects, (of which, I assure you, you have none)
then the more negativity you will create around yourself.
I
know it's harder said than done a lot of the time, especially when we
are constantly being told by the media, advertising etc that are many
reasons in life to not be happy, and that if you buy this shampoo all your
dreams will come true. But a positive mental attitude makes people love
to be around you.
There are two types of people in life, there are lights and there are drains.
Lights
are pretty self explanatory. Lights are the people you have all the
time in the world for. The people who you make you feel better just by being in
their company. They are also so goddamn attractive. But that
attractiveness isn't from an innate natural beauty (although annoyingly,
sometimes it is) it comes from their positivity and being comfortable in
themselves.
Then
there are drains. Not all drains are obvious at first sight. They are
the sort of people that it is a bit of a chore to be around. They can
only really focus in what is wrong with their lives, their bodies, the
world in general. They essentially drain energy from you whenever you
see them. Even if these people have natural beauty, it pretty much gets
covered up by the negative energy they chose to sit in.
Now, these are of course quite extreme ends of the scale.
But
what you have to think to yourself is,
'Am I the sort of person I would
choose to spend time with?'
If not, then take measures to become that
person.
If
you spend your time pointing out the things that are wrong with you
then yes, he will notice them too. How could he not? You're shoving them
in his face!
Men never EVER notice the things we hate about our bodies, so why show them to him?
If trying to be confident is uncomfortable for you at first, and for a lot of women it will
be, then pretend. Pretend to be a confident women. After a little while, you
just will be.
And
when you are, how could this man fail to want to be around you and
bathe in your light. And quite frankly, if he is not drawn to you like a
moth, then plenty of other men soon will be.
You'll be covered in moths. Umm, I mean men. Or Moths. If you prefer.
