Introduction
In todays society, men have started losing ground in favor of women. We are not anymore those who provide and protect them. Now women can easily provide for themselves and their security is not at risk anymore. More and more, men are becoming just sexual and emotional accessories, instead of a Must Have! Thats why we need to learn how to play the game of emotions, and become good at keeping the women we love close to us, to avoid the stress and pain of constant breakups. Long Distance Relationships are one of those experiences that can help us grow and make us happy, or condemn us to suffering. Its in our power to choose which option we like the most. I wrote this short e-book, to give you a small glimpse into all the mistakes that guys like you and me make in their LDR relationships. I took 5 out of all the other mistakes that guys make, and detailed them for you in the pages below. Thats why I suggest that you read it all carefully, dont just skim trough it, take it word by word and get the most out of this book. One last thing If you are not in a long distance relationship, no worries, these mistakes apply also to classic relationships, even though they are presented here in the context of long distance relationships. If you are a woman reading this book, then I highly suggest that you KEEP AN OPEN MIND, and resist the temptation to judge, before you read the whole book, and before you try to see things from a mans perspective. I hope you enjoy the book and get the most out of it! GO!

Do you respect yourself? Well, I hope you do, otherwise its hard to ask your girlfriend to respect you. So, assuming that you DO respect yourself, then why would you accept other people, and especially your girlfriend to behave with you with no manners? Because shes special? Because you dont want to lose her? Because shes got the right to disrespect you? Woooww, I went too hard on you just now. I better stop and explain myself. Its so often that I see guys being disrespected by their girlfriends; disrespected so much that my hair rises, my eyes get big and my respiration stops for a full 5 seconds time period. It makes me crazy when I see this happening; I just want to jump on the guy shake him really well and bring him back to reality. Why would you accept your girlfriend to behave with you like youre her little brother?

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Why would you let herrise her voice at you, tell you to shut up, verbally offend you, intentionally hit you; or in general behave with you in any way that you dont like or approve? Now I think this is one of the worst mistakes guys make in a relationship, they allow themselves to be treated badly. And they do it either consciously or unconsciously.

!"#$%&"'$()#*(+#%"#$%&"'$(,%%-./)#%-(
When it happens consciously, its easy to recognize it, you see your girlfriend telling you that you are stupid and you feel bad about it, you dont like it, but you still dont stop her right there and tell her Sweetie, did you just call me stupid? Listen, I dont accept anybody calling me stupid or anyhow else, especially hearing that thing from the woman I love most. Okay? However, its not always that guys realize that their girlfriends are disrespecting them. There are situations when their partners disrespect them and they dont even realize it, thus allowing it to happen again as if thats something normal. To give you just a few examples: She promises something to you but doesnt deliver; Shes talking with you on Skype, and at the same time shes talking with 5 other people on Facebook, watching a movie or browsing the net; Shes lying to you, even about small things; She keeps interrupting you when youre speaking to her; She doesnt pay attention to what you have to say; She doesnt respect and fulfill your requests; She ignores your opinion etc.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

All of these are examples of a girl disrespecting her boyfriend in a under the radar way, which most of the times guys unconsciously accept as something normal or something unimportant, instead of pointing them out and making them stop. The problem that I have with either consciously or unconsciously accepting bad behavior, is that guys dont realize that accepting second class behavior from their girlfriends its the sure pathway to ruining their relationship in the long run. Why is that? Well, because when a woman sees that you cannot stand up for yourself, she cant help but lose attraction for you. She stops looking up to you, and stops seeing you as that masculine man in her life.

012(3"4-#(*&$5-$.-%/(4-#6(
Now, I am not saying that all the women want to disrespect guys, and they do it all the time (even though there are these kinds of women). What I am saying here is that sometimes when women get stressed out, angry or pissed off, they(like any other human being) tend to behave in an unacceptable way and they might rise their voice, send you to hell, hit you under the belt etc. Other times, they do it unintentionally, just because they didnt know that it might bother or offend you. And other times they do it just to see what your reaction will be. And your reaction to these situations is what makes the difference. Women will always try to test men, and see how far they can go, what are they allowed to do in a relationship and what arent they allowed doing And you as a man are the one that has the power to decide. She knows that, and thats why shell keep testing you to see your reactions. If you allow her to insult you a few times, shell take it as permission.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

If you allow her to refuse you on something a few times, shell know that, its not a big deal to tell him NO sometimes, and shell stop respecting your requests. If you allow her to interrupt you when you speak, shell take is as permission for the future and wont let finish you ideas or your arguments, especially during fights. If you allow her to raise her voice at you and talk to you from a dominant position, shell get used to it and take this position any time she does not like something, and youll find yourself accepting rude behavior from her more and more often.

So in specific circumstances, it happens that even some of the most innocent and loving girls tend to disrespect their boyfriends. But that still doesnt mean that we men have to accept it. Because if we do, two this are happening: 1) One is that we encourage them to behave like that in the future. 2) And two, is that we lose their respect; we lose our masculinity and from there on they stop seeing us as real men that can stand up for themselves. And if your girlfriend starts to lose respect for yourself, shes not far from losing her attraction for you too. Attraction without respect does not work. But dont get me wrong, I am not telling you to behave like a misogynistic dictator with your girlfriend, and forbid her to rise her voice or express her negative emotions, what I am suggesting you though, is to respect yourself and have some boundaries; and let her know about these boundaries.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Note: Having boundaries means, knowing what you like and what you dont like; knowing what you accept and what you dont accept from other people. Its okay to be a bit angry and let the tension verbally express itself as long as you dont start calling each other names and using bad words as figures of speech. The problem is that most guys dont know how to react in these types of situations, and they just accept it; thats a pity, because by accepting bad behavior they encourage future bad behavior, period! So when confronted with a situation where their girlfriends disrespect them, most of the guys are confused, they dont know what to do about it Should they stop them right there and explain them that they dont accept such behavior, and risk having a fight about it? Should they ignore the whole situation and risk being perceived as weak? Or should they just laugh about it and risk setting the frame that its okay for me to be disrespected? As a result most of the time guys chose the latter two options, and it turns out that those are the most harmful ones for the relationship in the long run.

01)/(/"(;"(,9"'/(</6(
Okay, now that you understand what is really going on behind the scenes of accepting second class behavior, lets talk about what you can do about it. From my experience you have 3 options to choose from: take it as a joke, ignore it, or point it out and stop it right there. Lets take them one by one 1) Taking it as a joke

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

So, is it okay to just laugh about something that actually made you feel bad? The answer is Yes, sometimes you dont have to take things seriously. As a general rule these are the times when: It happens for the first time. Its done in the context of some kind of joke(but not too often) Shes in a really bad mood, and you want to avoid an argument. And lastly when it happens in public.

In these 4 particular situations I dont really recommend you to get all serious and emphasize your values on her. You can just laugh about it, take it as a joke or even better sometimes even exaggerate it to a point where it really becomes a good joke. Heres an example: Youre hanging out with some friends and youre having an intense conversation about something. During this conversation your girlfriend keeps interrupting you over and over again. Well in this case dont want to ignore it, and give her permission to continue doing so. You also dont want to stop it by telling her directly that you dont like that, because youre being public; so what you want to do is take is as joke and exaggerate it a little bit by saying something like: look at her, she keeps interrupting me all the time; baby you should consider working for the radio! ! and saying it with a smile on your face. 2) Ignoring it What about ignoring a situation where your girlfriend disrespected you? Should you ever do that? Well, yes. Again in some specific situations the best thing for that exact moment is to ignore the rude behavior. A few examples of these situations would be:

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

When shes really angry at you because you did something wrong. In this case you might want to let her express herself and not laugh or get upset about it. When shes drunk.

These are examples of two situations where theres no point in taking it personally, because at that moment you really cant do much to stop it from happening, and truth to be said it doesnt come from a place of logic and intention, its just an emotional response that can be hardly controlled. What you could do though, is to take the situation into your hands, by changing the subject or doing something else than talking (kissing her, hugging her etc. or if youre on Skype, just letting her calm down for a few minutes, and then continue the conversation). 3) Stopping it Now, the third option that you have is to stop your girl right there, point out the specific action or word that offended you and calmly emphasize your boundaries, getting her to understand that you do not like that and do not want it to happen again. In the case when she did something that truly insulted you, then you should also ask her to apologize. So as long as she behaves in a rude way, lets say she tells you to shut up and thats in the context of a fight, or her being annoyed at something youre telling her (so shes not kidding); in this case you have to let her know that you dont like that, by saying something along the lines of: Listen sweetie, I understand that you dont like to hear what Im telling you right now, but dont tell me to shut up, okay?! Lets respect each other, and please* let me finish what I have to say.
*No, youre not begging her to listen to you; you are telling her to do that, in a serious way. The use of the word please is only for being polite in your request.

( <4."5/)#/(="/->(
Even though I did not mention this in the last two options, I strongly suggest that you ALWAYS stop her rude behavior when or after it happened. What I mean by that is: Even though in the specific circumstances mentioned before your first reaction to an insult or her rude behavior will be to laugh about it or ignore it, you still want to always point it out later on in the conversation, but in an extremely calm and friendly, yet also serious way, letting her know that you didnt like that, and dont want that to happen again. If you do that, then I can assure you almost 100%, that your significant other will not just respect you more, but also see you as a real man, that can stand up for himself and who does not accept second class behavior from other people. As a result youll become a much more attractive man in her eyes.

I am basically teaching you how to educate your honey bee, so that she behaves in a way that will make you happy. And if you are happy, youll make her happy too. I believe that when we humans start a relationship, we begin a process of getting to know each other. A process in which each partner becomes the teacher for the other partner. From the first day we meet, we start to educate one another about our likes and dislikes. And if you come to me and tell me that You know, Livius, my girlfriend does not respect me anymore as she used to, then my answer to you would be - this is how you educated her. You probably heard the saying: We teach others how to treat us, and this is exactly what this chapter was all about.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

At this point you might be saying Noo, that never happens to me! My girlfriend never insults or disrespects me. And I sincerely hope that you are an exception. But from my experience - it happens to all of us, and its very important that we know how to handle these types of situations. So to conclude on the Number 1 Deadly Mistake, I want to tell you this: You need to be a man. And in this particular case, being a man means that you do not accept second class behavior from anyone, especially from the woman you love the most.

C-%).(
All right, lets recap everything weve gone over in this first chapter: You need to respect yourself, before you ask your partner to respect you. Accepting second class behavior from your girlfriend is one of the worst mistakes you can make in your relationship. You can accept second class behavior either consciously or unconsciously. Both of them are bad and destructive. Conscious acceptance of bad behavior means that she directly insults you and you cant help but notice it and feel bad about it & Unconscious acceptance, means that she indirectly disrespects your values, thus making you feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied, yet still not insulted. Accepting bad behavior from your girlfriend is the sure pathway to ruining your relationship in the long run. Girls lose attraction for men that cannot stand up for themselves and their values.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Under specific circumstances, especially the stressful ones, even the most loving girls can disrespect their boyfriends, but It still does not give them an excuse to do that, therefore guys should point out these situations and emphasize their boundaries. Most guys just dont know how to react when they are being disrespected, and because of that, they always chose the peaceful way of dealing with it, which turns out to be the most harmful for the relationship. By accepting bad behavior they encourage future bad behavior, period! There are 3 ways to deal with second class behavior: Taking it as a joke, Ignoring it, and Stopping it. The first two ways are used only in specific circumstances, while the last one is the general rule of thumb. No matter what option you chose, youve always got to let your girl know about the fact that you dont approve of her behaving that way. It is okay to let your partner know about any of her actions that make you feel bad, and ask her to stop doing them. Its okay to educate her.

When I first hear the word predictability, the first thing that comes to mind is that old style watch that makes the ding-dong sound every 60 minutes. (Did you just picture the watch?...Good!) So, predictability is nothing else but doing the same actions, saying the same words, talking about the same subjects, sending the same style text messages and overall, being the same good old you - over and overand over again, just like that old style watch that ding-dongs every 60 minutes. When being in a long distance relationship, getting stuck in the predictability trap is very easy. It actually comes naturally to for us humans to create routines and follow them all the time, because its easier for us, its comforting, and it doesnt require too much effort.

The problem with predictability in a relationship is that its predictable! And if its predictable then theres a big probability that its boring, and if its boring then ITS NOT FUN!

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Now, long distance relationships are by definition boring relationships. All you can do is to communicate; no touching, no kissing, no cuddling, no (real)sexall you can do is communicate. And if your communication its also predictable, then boy, youre doomed to die in pain.Just kidding. ;) But if seriously, if your communication with your partner is very predictable, following a specific set of routines like: talking on Skype every evening at around 9 oclock for around 2 hours, and sending a text message of good morning every morning at around 11; then youre not far from that ding-donging clock that you pictured before. A long distance relationships needs fun and excitement to stay alive (well besides many other things that are outside the scope of this book) and you need to make sure that the fun and excitement does not miss. If you want your girlfriend to be excited about talking to you over and over again for hours in a row, and never think about dating other guys; you need to give her good, positive emotions so that she has something to look forward to. You see, if you know anything about attracting women, then you must know that predictability is one of the biggest killers of attraction. Imagine that you were a girl and you were dating this great but very predictable guy. Youd follow the same routines every day, and when youd try to imagine how your relationship is going to look like in 2 weeks, or in 2 months, or in 2 years; what you see is the same what did you do today conversations, at the same time, the same text messages etc. Now or in 2 months, its all the same Now let me ask this: When you know that; are you excited about this relationship? Id like to think that youre answer was NO; otherwise it means that youre in trouble.

Now, youre still a girl, and you have a long distance relationship with this very cool, creative and a bit crazy guy. Hes got a spirit of adventure and hes fun to be around, because you never know whats coming next. Now, when you try to imagine you relationship two months ahead, you realize that you dont really know what to expect. The only thing you know is that you want to be at his side, and find out whats going to happen. Would be excited about watching a movie if youd know exactly how the movie would go and how it would end? Would you be excited about watching sports if youd know exactly who would win, and what would happen during the game? The answer is most probably NO. A good movie, just like a good game, is one that is unpredictable and keeps you intrigued. Thats what you have to do in a relationship too be unpredictable, and keep her intrigued! So, women are these creatures that are always looking for a bigger portion of fun. As one friend of mine used to say women are seduced by shiny things, they look for someone who is going to rescue them from their usually boring lives. And if you are not that guy who can bring a smile on their face by doing something crazy with no reason, just out of the blue; Or if you are not someone that can get them surprised over and over again; And if youre not that guy that makes them thinkhmmm, soo, whats next?Then I can assure you that your long distance relationship wont last long enough for you to get to the point where you move in together.

Being fun, creative and unpredictable is not that complicated either, its just a matter of being in the moment and looking for ways to do things that you normally do in a slightly different way. What I want you to do right now is to take 2 minutes and think about your long distance relationship. Think about all the stuff that you do in the same way - every single day. For example it could be that: you talk at the same time every day, or you send her a text message every day around the same time, or you start your conversations on Skype or phone with the same line hey baby, what are you doing?, or you talk about the same subjects over and over again etc. You might also consider making a list with all these routines that youre following every day. The great thing about writing things down is that they become more real and are not just some random thoughts in your head that come and go. So, you have them in from of you, and youre ready for the next step, which is to start a little brainstorming about what can you change, what can you do differently, what you can include, what can you exclude etc. Dont take this too seriously, it has to be fun, and dont worry if you cant come up with a lot of new ideas. The point here is to get your mind thinking about new ways of doing the usual things. I hope you already did this simple, yet powerful exercise. If not, then do it right now: 1) Take 2 minutes (not more) to think about your LDR daily routines. 2) Make a little list with all the routines that you identified. 3) Take another 15 minutes to brainstorm a bit about what you could do differentlyand write those ideas down! Simple, isnt it? So do it right now!

Now, because youve already done the exercise, and because I am proud of you for doing that; I am going to give you below a list of some of my ideas that I came up with, a long time ago when I realized that things need to be spiced up a little. So, you want to: Send her text messages at different hours (not every day at around noun, or every morning when you wake up) Write different types of texts: love texts, funny texts, updates about your activities, sexy texts, etc. Call her in the middle of the night and tell her to go wash her teeth, wash her face or even better - to go pie. ! Take your laptop or Smartphone and have a Skype conversation in a cool place other than your usual room. Vary your clothes, dress differently from time to time (and avoid being always in your pajamas when you talk to her on Skype) Talk about other subjects that the ones you normally do. A examples: talk about hypothetical situations and how would overcome them/what would you choose If you had option of having dinner with one celebrity, who would chose? And Why? etc. few you the you

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Write her an email, rather than a text message, and then send her a text to check her email; Start a conversation on Skype with you being naked in front of the camera. (I gave you this example just to show you how crazy you can be) Etc.

The idea here is to add some more variety in your relationship. Otherwise, the 11 oclock love message, the 7 o clock Skype conversation, and the good night text messageand just like that for a few months - will get your girlfriend bored to death. It does not mean she wont love you anymore, I am sure she will. However she might think about finding the fun in someplace other than her relationship with you. And that someplace other could be in a relationship with another, more unpredictable guy.

A few years ago when I used be very proactive and involve myself into all kind of social activities, I participated at a great training organized by a local student organization. Now this training was really fun because there were so many cute girls around, that the last thing I could focus on was on carrier development and student opportunities (this being the subject of the training). My thoughts were all about which girl from that room do I like most, followed by, how could I get that girl to become my girlfriend. So, as you can imagine, I was into a really complicated situation, and had to take a tough life changing decision that day. And I did. After a few hours talking to people in the breaks, being sociable and getting to know some of the girls, I decided that the lucky girl will be the trainer herself - a cute blonde, in her early twenties. I had no idea how I was going to get her attracted to me, but I knew that I wanted her and no other girl in the room.

Later that day, when the training was over, we were announced that theres going to be a private party for us, later that night, at one of the local pubs. Now, as soon as I heard that news, I knew that this was my chance. I went to this girl after the training, told her how cool the training was, and delicately asked her if she was going to be at the party that night. She told me that shed be there, and seemed quite happy about me asking her about it. To make the long story short, that night we met at the party, danced, kissed, exchanged numbers and agreed to meet the day after, for a date. Now, from here on the interesting part starts After I got the number at the party, on my way home I sent her a text message telling her how happy I was that we met, and how much fun I had. In the morning, I sent her a new text, telling her good morning and letting her know that I couldnt wait to see her again. By the way, I did not get any answer to none of those two texts until later that day at around noon. The first second after I got the text from her, I called her, really eager to invite her out. To my surprise she was busy all day, and said that maybe shell be free tomorrow. My reaction was Yeah, sure, tomorrow I am free, no problem, and if I am not, Ill make sure to be. The reality was that the next day I had to leave town to visit a friend, but of course I canceled the visit and stayed to meet her. In the evening, I figured why not send her a good night text, shell appreciate it I told myself. So I sent it, but got no good night text back. " I thought this girl is playing hard to get, but not with me. !

Next day was THE DAY when we had to finally meet. So, I send her a text at around 11 asking her if she was free. She answered me around 2 hours later, saying that yes, she was free, but well have to meet later in the evening. I was ecstatic! So I send her a text back expressing my happiness. (What a mistake!) Now, pay attention here. Because I was so happy, I figured - why not bring her a present?! So, what I did was to go on Facebook, find a picture of hers and draw her a portrait on a A4 sheet. So I made her a really cute portrait, and couldnt wait to meet her and give it to her. I thought this is going to be the ultimate seduction technique.

Before leaving my place to meet her, I called her again, making sure that shes going to be there. SO WE MET! Went to a quite caf and the rest of the date followed like this: We talked a bit about her, and then I told her that I had a present, so I gave it to her. She was impressed of course, but from there on the conversation became more and more awkward, and after a few minutes she said that she has to go. I accompanied her to the bus station, and heres the best part: I tried to kiss her (It should have not been a problem, because weve already French kissed all night at that party before) but she refused. Then I started talking about our next meeting, and trying to make some plans, when she interrupted me and told me Sorry, but, I have to leave town for a week, and then when Ill come back, Ill be really busy with my studies.

So there was no next meeting. She didnt want to see me again. And I was destroyed. [End of the story] This happened around 5 years ago, when I was still young and very green when it comes to romantic relationships. And even though it was a very painful experience for me at that time; when I look back right now, I realize that it was also ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE experiences in my life. It taught me one crucial lesson Neediness Is Not Attractive! So as you probably figured out already during the story, I was overly needy and this pushed her away like crazy. I send her too many text messages, showing her that I was very eager to meet her; I brought her a present at our first date - which was the drop that filled the glass, and overall I gave her too much attention at the wrong time and in the wrong way. So before I go on, let me define what neediness means: Being needy, means being overly excited to be with a girl and letting this excitement manifest itself trough your words and actions.

Its true; my story was about the beginning of a normal relationship and not about a serious, long distance relationship. However the moral of the story perfectly applies to any kind relationship, especially a long distance relationship. You see, women love attention from men, they love it. But when they get it, and especially when they get too much of it, their attraction for that man starts to diminish.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

When a man is too needyat point they know that they have the man, they have him by the balls and that man does not present any challenge anymore. Its one thing that women say that they love. (In this case is attention from a man). And its totally another thing that actually makes them attracted. (In this case, not getting enough attention from a man). So being the needy nice guy, that showers women with attention, gifts and love does not help you keep your long distance relationship alive, just the opposite, it actually makes you less desirable. For example: My current girlfriend that I am having a magnificent relationship with, and weve been together for more than 2,5 years now (in a long distance relationship all this time), and now we closed the distance shes often complaining that I am not romantic enough. Now, what she means is that I am not complimenting her enough, I am not calling her enough and telling her how much I love herand basically I am not putting her on a pedestal and pampering her like a goddess. So shes complaining from time to time, that I am not doing that for her, and insists that I should do that. But I know, that if I would be romantic enough for her to say yes, hes very romantic, and start showering her with compliments and become the nicest guy on the planet and satisfy all her desires THEN, IN A MONTH OR TWO, shell forget about me, just like it happened with the few other boyfriends shes had before me. The point here is the following: What they think they want, is not what actually makes them attracted. They love attention and affection, but given to them in the right way. And Ill show you later what the right way is So keep reading!

Calling her too often.

Calling your girl too often means that you constantly think about her; it means that you constantly need her to reassure you that shes still yours. I knew a long-distance couple once, where the guy was missed calling or beeping his girlfriend every 10-15 minutes, and also expecting her to beep him back, otherwise he was getting really upset and they had to fight because of that matter. Now, this is neediness taken to the extreme. And the worst thing about this couple is that the girl loved him so much. But because of hiss excessive neediness, at some point she just gave up and freed herself up from his constant need of reassurance she broke up with him. Sending her too many text messages.

Sending too many texts can make your partner fell overwhelmed, obligated and even guilty for not being able to answer you back. Another needy thing to do in terms of texting is sending her a few texts one after another, without receiving any answer to the previous ones. This is another example of extreme neediness. Wanting to talk on Skype longer that shes able to. And then getting upset because of her having to go. Being always available for her.

If are always ready to give up anything you are doing at any point, just to talk her it means that you dont value yourself enough, putting her interests before yours. And a man that does not value himself enough wont be valued by women either. A woman is attracted to a man that has a purpose in life and follows it, not to a man that makes her his life purpose. Constantly asking her if she loves you.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Constantly asking your partner if she loves you implies that you are insecure about yourself and need her reassurance to feel secure. Its not just that being an insecure guy is not attractive to a womanbut the big question is, why would you ask your girlfriend if she loves you when you can easily get the answer by looking at her actions? Its twice as better than asking her; first, her actions wont lie, and second, you wont look insecure.

Good. Now that you understand why neediness is not attractive, I am going to show you, how you can avoid this mistake, and make yourself more attractive to your partner. ?@#!:4)08)I&#!53!<#8)I458)+'! During the last 7 years that I went from LDR to LDR, I developed a great concept that I call The Principle of Reciprocity. Now, the principle of reciprocity is one of the fundamental requirements for any relationship to last and be a source of happiness and satisfaction for each partner. The Principle of Reciprocity includes 3 levels on which any man in a long distance relationship needs to be equal with his partner in order to secure his image of an attractive man. In this book I am going to discuss one of the 3 levels, and to be more specific the level of Attention. When it comes to keeping women attracted, a man needs to give his woman enough attention that she knows that he loves her, but not enough attention that she knows that shes got him by the balls. Imagine a glass that is half full with water this is the level where a woman feels ignored but still knows that her partner loves her.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Now, picture a glass that is nearly full, but theres still some water needed to get the water flowing out of the glass this is the level where a woman knows that her partner loves her but she still does not feel like hes hers forever. The idea here is that you want to be playing somewhere between these two levels, going up and down depending on how much attention she gives you: When shes calling you a lot, writing you text messages, telling you how much she loves you then you do the same, you keep the glass nearly full, thus giving her a lot of attention too. And when shes being more ignorant, texting you less often, not expressing her affection to you that much, being less available then you do the same, you keep the glass half full.

1) The Tennis Rule Give her back, as much attention as she gives you. Its called the Tennis Rule, because its just like playing tennis you throw the ball in her field and then wait for her to throw it back. You dont throw a bunch of balls in her field just to get her to play with you. You can use this rule with phone calls, text messages, Skype talks etc.
With text messages - never send her a new text message if she hasnt

answered the previous one. There are various exceptions of course, but as a general rule, try not to send her text after text, if shes not answering you back. And if you were the one to send her a text last, then let her be the one to send you a new text later that day.
With phone calls - take turns calling each other. If you called her once

that day, then let her call you the next time (you can let her know that

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

you want her to call you next time). For this to work you need to both have the possibilities to call each other on the phone.
With Skype - take turns calling each other. If you called her once, then

let her be the one to call you next time. Now, you can keep this rule for you, or you can also let her know about it and make it into a little game that youll be playing. 2) End the Skype talks, phone calls, text message conversations, first. This means that you are the one that says first: Okay sweetie, I gotta go now; its time for me to take a shower/go to work/ prepare some food/ make some exercise, etc. Youve gotta find some legitimate reasons why the conversation should end, and not just because we talked too much today. Also its not necessary to do it 100% of the times, sometimes shell also have some legitimate reasons to end the conversation, and thats fine, but the best thing to do is to ask her about her plans and then approximate when shell have to go so that you can tell her first something like Okay, dear I let you go now, youve got some stuff to do right? If you do that, youll quickly see how shell become more eager to talk to you, and how shell start sending you more texts. 3) Miss a few phone calls Girls do this a lot. They miss a few phone calls, to see how many times were going to call. And if we call them too many times in a short period of time, then its clear they have us by the balls! Now, you want to do that too, and let your girl worry a bit, why arent you answering. You can also test her attraction level by doing that, and see if shell keep calling you or shell just wait for you to call her back. 4) Wait a few minutes before answering her text messages.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Let her wait a bit for your answer, sometimes you dont want to appear too eager to answer a text message. Shell put more value on your answer if she has waited a bit for it. 5) Stop worrying about her not answering your texts quick enough. Earlier in my experience, I used to get really upset when Id text a girl and never get a text back, or when Id text my girlfriend and get an answer a few hours later. The result was that I was worrying and wasting my energy in vain, and in the end also fighting with my girlfriend about that. (Once I even broke up with a girl that I was seeing, because of such a stupid reason) Now the best solution to this problem that I found, and that has always worked best, without fail, is following these 3 steps: 1) Write the text. 2) Send it. 3) And forget about it!

What this means, is that when you send a text message, you want to never have the expectation of getting a reply. If you send a love text message, send it because you want to let her know that you think of her. Period! And not because you want to get a reply back. However, in the case when youre sending her a text about a more serious matter and you need her to reply urgently; well better call her! But if you still send her a text, then mention in the text: waiting for your reply or reply asap etc.

Q#-(E)$/(M1"'A1/K(
Even though its called The Reciprocity Rule, its okay if your partner gives you more attention than you give her. Just make sure that its not the other way around, because if you invest more in the relationship than she does shell talking your for granted and lose attraction for you.

So have your own life, be less available sometimes, be the one to end the Skype talks first sometimes, answer her messages a bit later, miss a few calls, and stop worrying about not getting a reply to your texts, quick enough.

I love you, I love you, ohhh I love you so much.and so on, all day, all night! Thats another mistake that most guys make in relationships. They overuse the expression I love you to a point where it has little to no value for their partners. And its a pity, because this expression should be the supreme way of expressing affection for someone and it should mean a lot to the other person. Ive recently heard a story about this couple, where the guy was telling his girlfriend I love you every day, every single day, maybe even a few times a day. And after around 2 months of the guy telling his girlfriend I love you every single dayone day she comes to him and tells him Do you love me? he obviously sais Of course I love you, and she says Then are going to ever write me a love poem or make me a true declaration of love? to which the guys sais But, I am telling you every

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

day that I love you and the girls says That is an affirmation! What I need is a declaration! So the moral of the story is the following: If you tell her that you love her too frequently, the I love you affirmation loses its value.

?"(31)/(%)#(2"'(*"()9"'/(&/6(
Here are a few simple ways how you can amplify the value of I love you : 1) Obviously tell her that you love her less frequently. Now, I am not saying that you become afraid of telling her that you love her, or that you start counting all the times that you told her that you love her. What I mean here is that, sometimes its not necessary to use this affirmation because its either implied in something else youve just told her or youve already told her that day that you love her. So a simple rule of thumb: if its not really necessary, dont tell her again. Not every text message has to have an I love you in it. Really! Even if its a good night text. From time to time you can save the I love you for another text. Believe me, if you already told her that a few times in the last few days, or even that day, she already knows that you do love her, and saying it one more time means overusing it, thus decreasing its value. Use other words to express your affection for her. Sometimes, you want to express your feelings in some way other that using the obvious I love you.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

This way shell know that you love her, but youll still keep the value of you the I love you high. A few examples could be: I adore you; I cant wait to feel your body close to mine; You mean a lot to me; I am thankful to God that he gave you to me; You are my inspiration and my motivation to become a better person etc. You can also tell her that you love her in other languages, thus still saving the value of the I love you in your language. Reciprocity Use the rule of reciprocity. Tell her that you love her when she tells you that she loves you. Thats a pretty safe rule that you can follow to avoid overusing I love you. But thats just to avoid overusing it. But if you want to create a bit more attraction and keep your girlfriend wondering a little about your feelings, then I suggest that you also follow the previous two rules in addition to this one.

! ?"@(/"(4)R-()($1"5/(5-%).>(
Tell her that you love her, any time she does. Otherwise, use the I love you affirmation less frequently and also replace it with other expressions of affection. This will help you both: keep the value of I love you high and keep your partner more attracted to you.

Remember the example that I gave you with the glass of water, where you had to play between the glass being half full and the glass being nearly full? Well, this mistake is all about filling that glass until the water flows out of it. How do you give you woman enough affection so that she feels loved and cared about, but not enough to make her absolutely certain that you are hers forever? Now, thats million-dollar question, isnt it? And the ability of a man to do exactly that, is what makes the difference between successful relationships, and relationships that fall apart at some point because of the woman becoming disinterested in making her man constantly happy.

Being a Pragmatic Lover is a concept that Ive developed in the last two years, after analyzing carefully my previous relationships, the relationships of my friends, the relationships of the people I know and Ive heard of, and putting it all together with the science of seducing women.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Being a Pragmatic Lover means being a lover that gives its best for the relationship to work, but does not idealize that relationship neither his partner to the point where he cant see life outside that particular relationship. Just like the name suggests this is the lover that, based from experience, based on all the facts that our society gives him, he understands that love is not eternal. So the definition of a Pragmatic Lover is the following: This is the lover that understands that love is a perishable notion, thus, he does not promise eternal love to his partner, but he makes all thats in his power to make love between him and his partner a foreverlasting notion. Let me explain this definition step by step

1) First of all He understands that love is a perishable notion. If we look around, NOT IN MOVIES, but in the reality around us, we realize that love does not last a lifetime, it somehow appears, lasts as long as the partners make it last, and then it just perishes away. Try answering these questions: How many relationships did you have where you felt like this is the person that I want to spend my life with? Or how many times have you said that you will always love your girlfriend? And then somehow, after you broke up and started a new relationship you stopped loving your ex-girlfriend? How many couples do you know that used to say that they cant live one without another; that used to idealize their relationship and ended up with broken hearths in a few months or years? How many times did you hear from your past girlfriends that they will love you forever, and later when you broke up, that eternal love has vanished away?
!

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

How many families do you know where the partners live together just because of the kids, because of commodity, because of fear to get out of that relationship etc. and not because of love anymore? How many divorces are happening globally every day? (hint: thousands)

I hope, that the answers to these questions helped you realize that love isnt usually* a forever lasting notion.
*I said usually because it could actually be, and Ill show you how, a bit later in this book.

So, the Pragmatic Lover understands that love is a perishable notion.

2) Secondly He does not promise eternal love to his partner. Promising eternal love is actually making love more perishable. (Attention: when a man does it) And that is because when you let your partner know that shes everything for you and that you cannot live without her; and when you keep telling her that over and over again, and you keep proving her that over and over again; then what happens is that you stop being a challenge for her, she knows that shes got you by the balls. And if she knows that shes got you by the balls, then from there on, her attraction for you starts lowering, she does not appreciate you as much as she used to, and she starts taking you for granted. So the Pragmatic Lover is not an innate romantic that does nothing else but talk about love and promises the stars from the sky to his significant other. He does not use often expressions like: I will always love you, You are everything to me!, Our love is eternal!, I cannot live without you!.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Using these absolute expressions over and over again would mean filling that glass of water; packing his balls nicely in a gift box and handing them to his partner. It would basically mean, that hes no more a challenge and hell be viewed as such by his partner, from there on. To give you a very common example: Marriage is one of those things where the man stops being a pragmatic lover and says Yes I am yours forever and that is a big turn off* for women, because from there on they take men from granted and stop investing in the relationship like they used to before getting married. *Its a turn off because it turns off their attraction mechanism, theyve already
achieved their goal. (unless you give them a new goal)

They say that women from 20 to 30 make it a full time job finding a great man to marry, and then the day they get married they retire to pension, which is paid by the man. I am not saying that you shouldnt marry your beloved girl sometime, what I am saying though is not to tie your hands too much in the marriage so that your woman can feel safe enough that youll never leave her. She has to always feel a bit insecure about losing you, in order to feel challenged and motivated to invest in the relationship.

3) And thirdly he does everything in his power to make the relationship work and make the love between him and his partner a forever lasting notion. This is not the lover that gives up because other relationships have failed. Yes, he is realistic, he realizes that their love can vanish away, and he also realizes that their love will vanish away even sooner if he starts promising eternal love to his partner.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Coming from a realistic background, he knows what mistakes to avoid (the ones mentioned in this e-book are some of these mistakes), he knows how to keep his woman constantly attracted, he has a mature attitude and the mindset of a true long distance lover. And he uses his knowledge and skills to make his partner happy and keep her profoundly in love. And if he doesnt know, he learns from men who know!

1) Let you honey bee know that the relationship youre having is a two people job. Tell her that your relationship will last as long as you, both of you, will make it last. Opposed to the usual approach of: I love you so much, I will never let you go, you are mine forever, I want you to know that! 2) Avoid making fake and destructible promises of eternal love to her. You want to let her to know that you love her, but not to know that you need her so much in your life that you cannot live without her. 3) Avoid having long term plans together. Plans like: were going to get married, how many kids were going to have etc. Instead, have medium term plans, looking 1-2 years ahead only, opposed to 5-10 years. Now, you might tell me yeah but I have to give to my girlfriend something to look forward to in the future! And youd be right. You have to give your girlfriend something to look forward to, that is true, especially in a long distance relationship, thats why you should give her realistic plans/goals to look forward to.

!"#$%#&'"()*+%,$*"-'"-$**,)"&).)/*"

Goals like: the next time we see each other, the future trip were going to have, the time when well finally be able to close the distance etc. I suggest that you have the mentality of: I cannot predict the future, thats why I dont want to give you unsure hopes. What I can tell you though, is that I want this relationship to work and us to be happy for as much as possible, who knows maybe until your hair starts getting grey ! Lets not fantasize about the far future and make the close future be fun and enjoyable. 4) Use the if we get there mentality. When making medium term plans like This amazing trip that were going to have in 6 months, use the if we get there mentality saying something along the lines of I cant wait for us to go on that trip and have a lot of fun, but of course, if we survive until then and dont tear each others hair out in these six months before having the trip. And let HER assure YOU that it will be fine and youll survive. By trying to convince you, shell convince herself too. 5) Avoid making the mistakes that weve talked about in this book: Dont accept second class behavior Be more unpredictable, creative and spontaneous Dont give her too much attention / dont be needy Dont be too generous with the I love you affirmation. And lastly become a Pragmatic Lover.
