You're falling for him.
He seems like your ideal match: you have everything in common, you get along fabulously, he even walks your dog or cooks you dinner or any other number of sweet things a man can do that will make you fall for him.
But how do you know if he's in it for the long haul and what can you do to make him want a long-term relationship with you? There is no real way to force a man to love you, but there are a few ways you can push him away and ruin your chances forever.
This article will teach you how to avoid terrible relationship missteps.
Nobody Likes Being Pressured There are a few people in the world who work better under a deadline, but nobody likes being pressured in a relationship - especially guys.
You'll never know exactly what he's thinking (and he may not either), but trying to force him into a commitment or decision that implies commitment can often send him running in the other direction.
You can't coerce him into an exclusive relationship, meeting his parents, agreeing to live together, or any other type of relationship-changing moves.
The kind of pressure you must apply in order to attempt such a thing will no doubt make him uncomfortable and he will instinctively lean the other way, which means you risk losing him all together.
Don't Overdo It While every man likes a nice home-cooked meal once in a while, don't make your entire life revolve around pleasing him.
Spending all of your money on him or asking him to make all of the decisions regarding dates are two risky moves that fall into this category.
You may be trying to make him feel good, but you could just be suffocating him.
Even though guys like to have control often, they also can appreciate a woman who knows what she wants in life and can survive on her own without him.
All relationships are about balance - sometimes you please him, and sometimes he needs to please you.
Don't Lose Yourself In the Relationship If your whole world revolves around him, you start to lose track of who you are.
And if you are only there to please him, what is there left of you for him to fall in love with? You have your own personality, hobbies, career and opinions.
A man worthy of a long-term relationship with you will love you for these qualities, not because you bend over backwards to align your ideals with his or frequently sacrifice your own wants and needs so that he can be happy.
Independence is a very sexy attribute to a man - when he knows he won't HAVE to take care of you, he will WANT to.
