WHAT'S INSIDE: Why can't knowing where you stand with a man
be as easy as just talking to him about it? Sometimes the way
it should be isn't always the way it really is. Here's what
to do about it...

WHY MEN PULL AWAY
Have you ever wondered how the male mind REALLY works?
Why some women get to experience true love and companionship,
while others have to put up with men who lose interest?

Why Men Lose Interest

then you really need to see this:
It teaches you some amazing things about how the male mind

ARE YOU IN AN EXCLUSIVE RELATIONSHIP...OR A HAREM?
Relationships can be so confusing sometimes, especially when
communication is not at its best.
It's easy to automatically think that the other person feels the
same way we do. The fear that we may be wrong prevents us from
talking about it.
So many people believe they are in an exclusive relationship when
the other person just sees him or her as one of many available options.
There are at least 5 very easy ways to avoid confusion as to where you
stand:
1. You and a man you are seeing should have a talk about your
feelings about each other and about how you two feel about seeing
other people.
If he does not want to share you with other men, he
will make sure you know this. But make sure he will reciprocate.
Sometimes a man is capable of building a harem with women who are
faithful to him while he still allows himself all the ladies he
wants.
If he wants a harem then you are free to date whoever you want.
Just remember the two of you are no more than friends with benefits.
Last night Scot and I went out to a live music dance club. This
place is special to me because it is where he made me more than
just a friend.
Scot let me know his intentions to be good to me and protect my
heart. He asked me to be his girlfriend--for us to be in an
exclusive relationship with each other. This was made very
clear without doubts.
Remember: If you have to ask then you are NOT exclusive.
2. If a man is focusing on you alone, he will want to see you as
often as he can in a week--especially if you live in the same city
and work allows free time.
Seeing each other at least three times a week portends this fairly
accurately.
Men and women only have so many days out of the week to go out on
dates. Are those times spent with you or are they shared with a
list of other women?
If you only see him every other week, then most likely you're not the
only one he is seeing.
3. A man who is interested only in you looks forward to making
weekend plans with you, and may be planning trips for the two of
you to go on.
While it's true he may be spontaneous and call you at the last minute
to join him for an outing, a good sign that he has a harem is that he
always waits until the last minute to ask you out.
This usually happens because he's not so sure if the one he asked as
his first choice will show up.
Maybe she even canceled on him. Don't confuse this with spontaneity.
I'm not talking about a surprise or a gift; I'm talking about if the
"last minute notice" is a habit.
If that's the case, he is waiting to see if someone better to go out
with will be available, as being pinned down to plans with you does
not leave him with any other options.
Think about this...what if he calls you Friday at 6:00 to invite you
to a concert for that evening, and he has had the tickets for 3
months?
Why would he not give you more notice? Because the person he planned
to take flaked out on him, that's why.
If you did not know about it at all then it absolutely was a girl who
flaked out, certainly not one of his guy friends.
And make no mistake about it, if you're not spending time with him
during "prime time" hours (like weekend evenings if he works a standard
work week) very often, then he's got someone else (or several someones)
in his life for sure.
4. If you need to reach him for something important, he is ok
with you calling him at home or on his cell phone any time of
the day or night.
But if you are part of a harem, there are rules like not calling at
night or on his home phone.
Also, you always seem to get voice mail, having to wait for when it
is convenient for him to call you and talk.
If he leaves on a trip and will not talk to you while he is gone,
then this is also a red flag that he has at least one other girlfriend
or maybe even a wife.
5. The famous words of a harem builder are, "I would love to settle
down when the right women comes along".
This statement is used to pose a challenge to you, causing you to
feel that you have to prove that you are the right woman...and that
if you stick around he will figure that out eventually.
After you have been dating for a few months things should be moving
forward, in an exclusive relationship.
Not that you have a ring on your finger yet, but that you at least
have conversations about a future together.
This also needs to be demonstrated with actions, not just words.
An example would be going from seeing you once a week in the start
of a relationship to increasing it over time to 2, 3, or 4 times
per week.
If a relationship you are in has been on for a while but is still
pretty much the same as it was on day one, it's time to consider
what we've talked about today as a very possible reason why.
