What is it, exactly, that makes a man
fall in love?

Yetis,
Stonehenge, shoe horns — life is full of mysteries, and up there with all this
wonderment: what men want in a relationship and how to make a guy fall in love
with you.
This
question has left women scratching their heads and writing furiously in their
diaries for centuries. Falling in love is definitely a mystery and cracking the
male code is not for the faint of heart (or the woman short on ink).
Do you find yourself asking, "Does he love me? What can I do
to get him to fall in love with me?"
Does he
want you to be laidback? Does he want you to be bossy? Does he want you to be
funny? Does he want you to let him be funny? Does he want you to be a
challenge? Does he want you to be submissive?
What is it,
exactly, that makes a man fall in love?
The simple answer: Your essence.
What a man wants and what makes him fall in love largely has to do
with the essence of a woman — the real you that’s worth unpacking.
That part
of you that exists when you strip everything back, stop playing games, stop
performing, and stop being the person you think he wants you to be — or the
person you think anyone wants you to be.
It’s your uniqueness that leaves men falling head over heels and
wanting relationships.
The way you
look. The way you walk. The way you talk. The way you’re certain in your
convictions. The way you think about the world. The way you’ve experienced the
world. Your struggles. Your talents. Your challenges.
Every big and little thing that makes you...you.
It seems
easy enough to be yourself. After all, you know how to do it — yep, you were
born for this!
But,
ironically, it’s not something that comes naturally to most people. Rather,
it’s something blocked by the mask you put on.
It’s
something hindered by what you’ve been told by society. It’s something squashed
when you play a part instead of slipping into the starring role of yourself.
So, how do
you drop the mask so you can drop the mic? It starts by questioning yourself.
These 6
deep questions to ask yourself will help you get to know yourself better and,
in turn, be the key to understanding how to make a guy fall in love with you.
1. Where and when do you feel most yourself?
Think about
that for a moment. When you do you feel like you don’t need to pretend to be
someone else?
Maybe it’s
when you’re doing art or singing on stage. Maybe it’s when you’re with your
girlfriends or at your job. Maybe it’s on the soccer field or volunteering with
animals.
2. Where and when do you feel that you’re not yourself?
Now, do the
opposite and think of when you wear the mask tightest. Maybe it’s with your
family or in the aerobics class?
Maybe it’s
during a PTA meeting or book club? Maybe it’s in the conference room or around
new people?
3. Where in your life do you have the hardest time saying, "No"?
Everyone
has the right to say no to anything (and anyone) they want, but it’s not always
easy.
Figure out
where it’s the hardest. Chances are, you’ll find a pattern.
4. Where do
you have the hardest time saying, "Yes"?
Is there a
certain person or activity you have a hard time saying "yes" to?
Take some
time to think about this then journal and write it down. Consider what
experiences you might be missing out on and why.
5. What would it take for you to view your failures as
opportunities to learn?
This
question is important because it’s part of being yourself. It’s about trusting
yourself and recognizing that mistakes don’t define you. And, in many cases,
they’re necessary to grow and learn.
Do you know what’s underneath all the laurels people rest upon?
Struggles!
All of us,
every person on earth, isn’t just made up of success. We’re made of joy and
pain, wins and losses, triumph and regret.
6. What
will it take for you to see all the challenges to come as opportunities?
Failures
are about the past whereas challenges stay focused on the present and future.
When you
change your perspective to view challenges as opportunities, you stop fearing
what lies ahead.
And that
makes you much more willing to take a chance on just about anything and anyone.
Now that
you know what makes a man fall in love and how to make a guy fall in love with
you, you are not only a step closer to having the relationship that you've
always wanted but you'll also be happy with yourself.
