It’s a great feeling. You met a guy, you like the guy. You want him to like you, too. Will he call, or won’t he? Maybe you should nudge things along by texting… or calling…or emailing. No! Do not do it. (Promise me you won’t do it.) Listen, I am all for equal rights, equal pay, equal everything between men and women, but when it comes to dating, I say: Sit back and let him come to you. Why? Because this is how you gauge a man’s interest. Because you absolutely are. No!

This is how you break the pattern of doing all the work in getting a relationship off the ground. (Stop working so hard! Stop thinking so much! Give yourself a break already!) Look yourself in the eye. Repeat after me (slowly). “I’m worth it. I’m worth it. I’m worth it.” Because you absolutely are. Bonus: When you don’t work so hard, men perceive you as a bigger catch. Take a deep breath. Sit back. See what happens next. If he gets in touch, great. If he doesn’t, move on.

If he gets in touch, great. If he doesn’t, move on. He’s not the only pebble on the beach. So, get out of the house, smile, and make yourself available for a more suitable pebble.
