Why You Love People Who Can’t Love You Back
Question: I respect your advice but I believe that "you can't love another person until you love yourself" mumbo jumbo is misguided and I think creates more problems in relationships than it solves. The whole point of being in a relationship is to love the other person. That love is not supposed to be directed at yourself but toward the person you [...]
How Do I Show I Like Him Without Chasing Him?
Question: We went out on three dates and he seemed really so into me but I think he lost interest because I acted shy and awkward around him. The last time we went out, he made some remark about sometimes letting my hair down and live a little. The next day we spoke on the phone briefly and since then it’s been two weeks and I’ve not heard [...]
Help! I’m Losing My Boyfriend – What Should I Do? Pt. 2
Continues from Pt 1 When we’re threatened with the possibility of losing someone we love, we often don't see the things in front of us including how our own words and actions may be more self-destructing than helpful. This is especially true when you feel like what you worked hard to build (and keep) is slipping through your fingers and [...]
Love Mistake No.1- You Played Yourself
I want to say right from the beginning that I’m one of those people who believes that we don’t “look for and find love" but rather, the love already in us attracts the love of another. But for the sake of this article, I’ll go with the common notion that men and women “look for and find love". Other than the flawed approach to [...]
How Can I Make Her Feel Like She’s Chasing Me?
Question: I've been going out with this woman for 3 months now. She told me she wants what she can't have and that she loves to chase. She asked me to make her chase me more. I find this quite hard to do seeing that I already have her and she knows in the end she will still have me. I hope that makes sense. What can I do to make her feel like [...]
Is It Me Or Is My Ex Emotionally Unavailable?
Question: My boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me two weeks ago. This is the third time we've broken up in two years. He says I'm too needy and clingy and that he can not give me what I want. I know I was clingy and needy before and have two boyfriends break up with me because of it but I worked on my neediness after he broke up with me the [...]

Playing hard to get -- which some of us love to do and which in my humble opinion every man and woman should at least do or know how to do -- is a relationship dynamic based of the Law of Scarcity. The Law of Scarcity says, “scarcity determines the value of an item” meaning that, items are more valuable to us when their availability is [...]
Do Guys Lose Interest If You Reveal Too Much?
Question: I read your blog: The "Rules" and Playing Dating Mind Games. While I agree with some things you say, I do not think that women should be open and forthcoming in the first few dates. I’ve been out on great first few dates with a number of great guys but nothing that lasted for more than 3- 4 dates. The last guy I went out with was [...]
Will Playing Hard Make You More Interesting?
Question: I wanted to buy your eBook but hesitated. I'm a pretty straight forward guy not much for playing games. If I want something I ask for it plain and simple, and I expect that if she wants something from me, she should straight out ask. Don't expect me know what the hell you want if you don't tell me. But may be this is why at 39, good [...]
Is My Ex Still In Love With Me But Won’t Admit It?
Question: Three weeks ago I contacted my ex about some importantdocuments. I went to pick up the documents and we ended up going out for dinner. A month ago she wouldn't return any of my calls. We have had many phone conversation mostly about business, family and mutual friends. When we talk I’m cheerful, confident and relaxed because I want her [...]
