Create a Lasting Love
ОглавлениеOnly unfulfilled love can be romantic. –Christina Victoria Barcelona
It is natural to fantasise about a dream man who will come riding by on his white horse. You will dream that he will fall madly in love with you and sweep you off your feet. This man will take you away from the troubles in your life, leading you to your happily ever after. Every woman’s image of this dream man is different. They could be looking for handsome, famous, rich, kind, strong and these qualities can vary. Once he enters your life, you realise reality is not how you perceived it. It is the same for him, and the production of love is like a spell being cast. The mystery, suspense and drama brought about by love are only an illusion to help you get closer to him.
When he first falls in love, he does not fall in love with your normal self; he falls in love with your best self, without the insecurities and weaknesses you have managed to temporarily hide. When the chase is over, there is the danger of dissatisfaction ruining all your hard work. Do not only rely on your physical beauty, as it loses appeal with repeated exposure; only the right approach and effort will fight off disinterest. Take it easy. It is all just a game and not a matter of life and death. There will be a tendency to take things more seriously and personally, and to complain about behaviours that do not please you. Fight this as much as possible, for it will instill in your relationship the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve. There are certain things you need to consider after you have caught the man of your dreams to keep his interest. Depending on the way he sees love, you can spice up your relationship. If he has plenty of daily problems in life, what would keep his interest is sharing aims and ambitions and working together to reach those goals. However, if he sees the relationship as the source of experiencing life, to sustain his interest you must not become boring as soon as you feel comfortable in the relationship, as he will be easily put off. He will look back at the efforts you made during the courtship rituals and compare. He will assume you were more intrigued when you first started dating, and now that you have got him you are taking him for granted.
If you want to settle into a relationship, you must constantly increase his interest in you by creating tension and then releasing it. If you want to keep the spark between you, beware of the creeping familiarity that can spoil the fantasy. Love is a mirage; it is fleeting, with no lasting effect. There are moments when you simply get tired of love and reality creeps in; it can turn from love to hate or worse, to indifference. A relationship filled with pleasure and harmony creates boredom—gives him some variety. If you can feel his attention drifting within the relationship, you can fan the dying ashes of passion back to life using various methods. Keep his emotions in check at all cost. Too much peace can be detrimental to love. Passion can wither away, laziness sets in, apathy begins and disgust ends the chapter. Create the tension that makes way for an immense release.
Problems in your lives that you work together to solve such as: jealousy, sadness, despair, anguish and quarrels— are all the food of love. Do not be afraid of exposing your difficult side for the fear of losing him; he will only abandon those who bore him with with too much monotony. What you have suffered in your past enables you to appreciate more intensely your present happiness. Previous suffering can make him truly appreciate the joy you bestow upon him. Fear of death can make him fall in love with life; a long journey makes returning home much more pleasurable. Pain and anxiety are the origins of pleasure; without the hard times it is almost impossible to appreciate the good times. Therefore, at certain stages of the relationship, do something unexpected. Feed his emotions by creating enough highs and lows in order to meet his needs. The extent of your attentiveness will keep the flame burning.
If he becomes too accustomed to being pursued, he will not give as much of his own energy and the tension will fade. Once you feel he is under your spell, turn the tables, take a step back and let him come after you. Do not be afraid to express feelings of fear and anxiety. Become cold, aloof and less available to him, hinting that you are growing bored. Make him feel as if he has lost you forever, or worry that he has put you off. In order to keep him interested, you must not let him take you for granted. Sometimes showing the slight interest in someone else can create in him the feelings of outrage. However, do not worry about making him angry. His anger is a sign that you have power over him. Let him worship the ground you walk on and become a slave to your desires. Let him suspect he may be losing you to another, but ensure it is all just in his head, nothing more, and you will win him back with stronger passion and excitement. Let these feelings stay with him for a while, lead him as close to the edge as possible, then pull him back with your charms. There is no thrill without fear, the fear of losing you. The more he feels threatened that you may drop him, the tighter his grasp on you will be. Being rejected produces not only feelings of sadness but also anger, and it creates a need to regain that love. Use absence to create pain and conflict. Sadness, when subtle, tells you that something significant is happening or has already happened. On the flip side, do know that there are some men with such little tolerance for emotions of sadness that they do not acknowledge them.
Display a range of emotions before his eyes: be irrational, muster up moments of melancholy, surprise and drama; all of which prevent your relationship from stagnating. The ride on which you take him can be a little distressing but should never be dull. Again, strengthen his desire by subtly hinting about the pleasures that await him; mirror his values, indulge him in what he wants in order to charm and please him. Without realizing how it has happened, his thoughts will increasingly begin to revolve around you. You must discover how to fill his mind with thoughts of you. Letters, mementos and shared experiences will keep you constantly on his mind, even in your absence.
Now, as you shift to the physical side of things, it is necessary to see him more often. You must be more generous with the amount of attention you give him. At the same time leave him continuously unsatisfied by giving him an ideal to live up to, someone to whom no one else can compare; and let him want to be your ideal. Show him that you have experienced life differently and live differently. Let him dream of how life would be different by your side, by encouraging him to look forward to a new adventure or experience that makes him feel that he can never be without you.
Be careful not to lower his self-esteem too much, as he may become too insecure to believe he could ever be with you, making him distant and defensive. Everything you do should lead to pleasure, as pain by itself will drive him away. If the relationship has already ended, he may not be interested in starting all over again, or it could be that the timing is wrong. It is easier to make him fall in love with you all over again if the relationship was short-lived. That way, there is more opportunity to get to know you better and he therefore has clean memories of you. It will also be easier to work on him if he is less suspicious by nature, if he is dissatisfied with his present circumstances and is uninhibited and hungry for pleasure. Try to capture his soul, to build the foundation of a deep and lasting love. Revive the old memories, the symbols and the expressions that stir positivity in his psyche. He will forget the ugliness of the separation and will remember only the good times spent with you. Let some time pass, in order to restore his lustre and make your faults pale into insignificance. It is refreshing to be able to relive the past and one’s old experiences and emotions. Never see a separation as the end. With a little drama and planning, you can get him in no time.
