For a lot of guys, talking to a girl is difficult. They don’t know where to even begin when it comes to the art of picking up a woman. They get all tongue tied at just the thought of even talking to an attractive girl. It can be a very intimidating situation. It’s stressful enough getting the courage to talk to a girl but the thought of rejection is always in the back of their mind and that is something that devastates a lot of guys.

Most guys can talk to girls that they don’t deem attractive but as soon as a guy wants to talk to a hot girl, he can’t function properly. Whether it is their long flowing hair, their piercing eyes, those full lips or those perfectly sculpted legs, hot girls do crazy things to guys. You need a way to surpass the looks so you can strike up a great conversation with the hottie.

There is a way to get around the nervous jitters of talking to beautiful women and it includes a secret trick. Even though you are looking at one of the sexiest girls you have ever seen, you have to pretend she is not that hot. You need to get past the gorgeous body and act as if she were an ordinary girl. Once you are in that mind frame, you will chat for hours with her. Tell a few jokes to make her laugh, maybe tease her to show your playful side and how could she not resist the chance to go home with such a great guy?

Although that tactic might work, you aren’t sure whether or not you can ignore the fact that she is so incredibly sexy. All you want to do is focus on her beauty and so you start tripping on your words again. You can’t get a good looking girl to like you and you are tired of your buddies thinking that you have no game when it comes to the ladies. Well, it’s time to prove them wrong.

Well, technically, hot women are hard to get, right? They say the hotter the babe, the more difficult it is to attract her. Basically, hot women know that most men would lose a tooth to have them, that’s why it makes them harder to get. And of course, hot women have high standards as well. But there’s no need to lose hope, as you will learn everyone has a weak spot. Once you get to know how to look for that weak link, she’ll be all over you even though she’s the hottest girl in the room. Find out why hot women are hard to get, and follow theses few tips on how to seduce her:

Lure Her Over
Seduction is an art and it’s definitely something of a must if you want to attract hot women to you. Lure her over means doing everything possible to keep her intrigued and interested in you, no matter what it takes. Luring her means you have to stand out from the rest, be different and to peak her interest.

Know Her Sensitive Side
Women as you know are emotional, so this calls for you to be a little sensitive as well. Be expressive and try to be emotional as well too. Women are a bit intrigued with men who have no qualms in showing their soft side once in a while. Knowing where to strike best will not only leave her defenseless, she will not be able to resist your charms now.

Read Her Body Language
Be sensitive of the things she’s trying not to say. Actions are way more powerful than words. Women love to send signals (even if they’re not aware of it sometimes), and it’s a man’s duty to learn how to decode them. It’s a great asset to finally know how to read her body language. Couple that with flirting and you now have a killer combo.

Treat Her Like A Princess
Make her feel comfortable at all times. Earn her trust. Your efforts will not go unrewarded. Once she starts to realize that you want to make her feel absolutely alright with you, she’d start to loosen up and give in to your attraction. Treating her like a princess is a turn on for her, so fulfill this fantasy every now and then.

Why do some of those select people have natural magnetism? Are you as an individual prepared to make that dynamic potent first impression? Release that stuck up, hidden energy from your body and soul to crank up your internal magnetic love energy?

Stress, Anxiety and Fear Are Contributing Factors
If you are presently experiencing stress, or fear and anxiety, sexual drive is usually the very last thing on your mind. This could be a direct result from: current relationship troubles, work or family woes, or money problems. They can all have devastating effects to your libido. It can be a little hard to feel sexy, especially when you’re worried about that mortgage payment. Anxiety as well as fear associated with sex can also be problematic. Worrying about everything concerned about sex, such as: STDs, fear of getting pregnant, or sexual performance, can easily dampen your sex drive as well as hampering your chances of having a satisfying sexual experience. Anxiety, fear, depression about starting to age can also have an affect as well.

Stuck Or Blocked Energy Can Cause Depression
According to some medical experts, one of the causes of depression is a slight imbalance of brain chemicals. Also, one of the causes of depression can stem from external foreign energy lying dormant in your body. When this foreign energy overcomes your bodies natural energy, then you can become depressed!

Do you remember the last time you were attracted to that someone special? You were attracted and gravitated to that person because you admired something that was unique about them. You may of thought that person was handsome or beautiful, funny or extremely poised. You also may like how you felt being around them. With each passing day, you begin to adopt and use their energy as your own. When this begins to happen, you don’t release any energy back to them.

To take an analogy, say with computers, you can’t use software from Apple computers, and use them in a PC or vice-versa. They require their own software to operate and process the functions required. The same can be said true for people. The attraction vibe that drew you close to another person, is the same reason that makes you sexually non-responsive, emotional and argumentative. This can affect your health, attitude, and yes, your libido.

Does Viagra Work On Low Self Esteem? No!
What viagra does is it naturally increases blood flow to the male genital area, to enhance sexual stimulation in both men and women. It does not and cannot affect your body’s image, your relationships or emotional issues that impede your sexual function.

Most people do not like some aspects or areas of their bodies. Do you think that you have jiggly thighs, or a curved member, small breasts, or an unshapely fat belly? While you may not be completely satisfied with the way you look right now, you have learned to live with any perceived flaws you may have. This perception actually creates an energy block that can directly affect the sexual image of yourself, or your sexual ability to express yourself. The reality is, you may have good feelings about sex itself, but you have to have the same good feelings about your body.

How To Release Negative Self Talk
Whenever you are having a negative thought about your body, release it. As an example, if you are obsessed about that extra roll of belly fat, then stop yourself. Throw that thought away and then fill yourself with shimmering self-appreciation and sex appeal.

As you start to feel better, and feel a little sexier, no matter what you physically look like, your sex drive is bound to improve. Learn to love yourself first, for who you are, including all the warts. Then you will be able to have a satisfying sex life and then magnetically draw people to you, who will love and appreciate you for who you are.

Positive Visualization for the Entire Body
To experience appreciation and self-love, start by releasing your energy by grounding your entire body. Your body’s natural magnetic energy will then be stimulated.
1. Start by creating a grounding cord.
2. Then visualize a second grounding cord. From your feet to the main grounding cord that’s coming out from your spine.
3. Allow natural gravity to remove any dark colors, as well as white light or any other colors you know are not your own energy.
4. Release anything in your body that prevents healing.
5. Focus on your legs, knees, hips, and your abdomen. Release the energy stored in those body parts.

Is There Anyone Else’s Energy Stored There?
Do you sense you receive thoughts or judgments from: previous teachers, previous lovers, former partners or friends? If so, release both the positive as well as negative energies.

6. Refresh and replenish your body as well as organs with energy by putting some of your own internal energy back into your body.

What Happened In The Past is The Past!
Don’t get stuck with past energy, just release it. It is no fun to be stuck with the past. It’s also no fun to be a victim. Stay in the present so you can let yourself go, move on and look forward to attracting the type of loving relationship that you desire.

Ensure Yourself a Healthy Body and Love Life
Learn to release your stress, your fears and anxiety to ensure a healthy mind and body. Make sure you eat a balanced healthy diet, drink lots of water, sleep at least seven to eight hours a night, exercise and workout regularly and practice soothing relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation. If you don’t do it for your overall general health, then do it for your sex life!

As the all too well known adage goes, “You will never get a second chance, to make a good first impression.” The way that someone, anyone, especially a potential date, initially perceives and sees you will largely determine their future potential relationship with you. This fact is especially true, when it comes to the romance and the dating world. Obviously, if someone is not particularly enamored, intrigued or visually interested with the person that they’re speaking with, what real reason do they really have for continuing that pursuit? On the other hand, a successful match of two personalities and simultaneous interests can lead to extended stimulating conversation and potential future romantic possibilities.

When it comes down to dating someone for the first time, it becomes paramount to convey yourself adequately, by sending out your personality signals to the interested party. This has to be done precisely, transferring who and what type of person you are, and what comprises you. However, when trying to doing this within the setting of a nightclub or a bar, is usually easier said than done. It’s difficult to demonstrate your intelligence or wit when you have to say… scream across in someone elses ear, in order to be heard over the thumping music and crowd noise. Also, the small window you have to demonstrate exactly who you are is severely limited; as if you fail to grab the immediate interest of that other person fairly quickly, the chances of starting a conversation or anything meaningful with them become slim to none.

Setting Up Your Online Profile
When you initially set up your online dating profile, the window of opportunity to convey who you are is fortunately a lot better, and thus the odds of successfully ‘making a first immpression’ are better as well. So think about it: You are able to write and or create a personal profile of yourself without worrying about immediate external influences or pressures. The other party who may be interested in you is able to browse leisurely on your profile without having themselves being bombarded from every angle in a bar or nightclub type of setting. The two parties will actually be able to discover and relate meaningful information about each other, via their online profiles, than through a hasty conversations in a ‘meet-market’ situation.

So what then, you’re wondering constitutes of a “successful and attractive” online profile? There are several factors that will determine whether someone actually takes the time to read through your personal profile or not. As mentioned, it’s obviously important to convey the type of person you really are within your profile. The last thing that your admirer wants is to be unpleasantly surprised and misled, when the first initial conversations may reveal you to be nothing like who you described in your profile. Tell the truth, tell about your passions and your interests. Although you may eliminate some viewers of your profile, the ones that actually take the time to read it through will be genuinely intrigued by you, and thus more than likely to contact you.

As with anything else in life, intrigue and mystery remains a vitally important component of romance. So try not to answer every question about yourself, in the same context of your online profile; you would want your potential mates interest piqued, not sated. If that person learns all there is to know about you based on reading your three-page profile, then they are less than likely to feel compelled to communicate or contact you. On the other hand, a veiled question portraying intrigue in your profile, may be the key to spark an inquisitive e-mail.

Finally, always include an updated photo of yourself in your online profile, if at all possible. Physical attraction will be and always forever remains a vital component of dating, whether it be online or offline dating. There is a lot of people who will not bother to invest too much time reading an online profile without knowing what that person looks like. In fact, most people will filter out profiles that doesn’t include pics, when they browse online dating sites. So including a picture with your profile should ultimately increase the chances of success.
Good Luck

The fear of commitment, or getting cold feet, scientifically, is actually a type of phobia. It is commonly known as the ‘commitment phobia’, which refers to someone who is afraid of being committed into any significant, deep ‘one on one’ relationships. This may also relate to tasks, long-term projects and responsibilities.

Have you ever known anyone, or thought of a person you know who had a fear of commitment? Maybe you currently have a few friends who you suspect have symptoms of this type of phobia. Most, which is probably to no ones surprise, who exhibit deep fears of commitment are actually men. Those with commitment issues have difficulty in deciding on simple things, such as making easy decisions when given a choice. For instance, they may find it hard to choose what to eat off a menu when they are dining out in a restaurant, or have a hard time choosing between say, two good movies, or even on what they should wear on certain days. And not surprisingly, most who show these symptoms have never been in a serious relationship, most are or are nearing their 30’s, which is an ideal perfect marrying age for most men.

Let me tell you about someone we used to know, his name was Patrick. Patrick was a close friend growing up and he is presently still a bachelor, who has a great job and career and makes good money. Women go in and out of his life on a regular basis, as some may consider him handsome. But none of these acquaintances seems to really stick around, even the ones who you would think has good potential. He is a perfect profile for someone who displays a fear of commitment. But he will not admit or accept it, which is in fact another ‘tell-tale’, characteristic of someone who has a fear of commitment. Here is a conversation we once had about this issue. So here it is:

Me: “Have you ever had or been in a serious relationship before?
Patrick: “No”
Me: “So why not?”
Patrick: “It’s because I don’t think I’m ready yet.”
Me: “What are some of the things that makes you think you’re not ready?
He shrugged his shoulders and paused for a few minutes.
Patrick: “It’s probably because I’m afraid to commit to one woman, and I don’t really want to get married at this time. I’m afraid I may not handle the responsibilities associated with being a good father and a good husband at the same time.”
Me: “Then you’re someone who is afraid or has a fear of commitment.”
Patrick: “Who me? No, I don’t really think so…”

Having the fear of commitment makes it difficult for you to decide on what you need or is good for you, especially if your future is at stake. So when having a fear of commitment, it’s not healthy at all. Fear of commitment can hold you back since it’s entrusting itself to a procedure on what life has to offer, and we should be able to make the most of the opportunities that come our way.

The actual fear of commitment can be triggered by various causes. Fear of commitment most likely starts from childhood, where the person suffered from some type of traumatic experience, such as the separation of parents, divorce or even death. Fear of commitment can also be from poor role models in which the person may have witnessed dysfunctional or offensive relationships. The worst is when the person may have also been a victim of it. These experiences later in life, may have a great impact on the person’s future decision making abilities and therefore the cause of their development, contributing to their fear of commitment.

The Fear of Commitment can be overcome by several different methods. The most common method is by the use of hypnosis or hypnotherapy. So if you know someone, or have friends, or think you may have the fear of commitment yourself, there is help out there.

Katherine had not been in a serious relationship in over four years, and it has made her extremely nervous with anxiety. In her last relationship, she had lost all faith in ‘love’, as well as herself, as she felt completely devastated when her boyfriend of five years, suddenly left her for another woman.

After immense soul searching, self analysis and self improvement programs to improve her emotional and spiritual self for a number of years, Katherine, now 32 years old, felt that she was finally ready for a new relationship. So she decide to join an online dating service and promptly met Steven, who seemed like he was good to be true. He was warm, intelligent, compassionate and also on a similar personal and spiritual growth path. Steven, who was 35, was also successful and available! Now Katherine’s past fears, that she would never meet someone again, suddenly turned into fear of being in a new relationship.

Katherine had taught herself on how to take loving care of herself, when she was alone by herself or with close friends, but suddenly doing this with a man was another matter. Previously, she had never really actually learned to take care of herself in any of her past relationships, and she was worried that she would maybe let herself down again.

Katherine needed some guidelines regarding actions that she could take for herself as she began to explore her new relationship with Steven, and she queried of what these loving actions may be.

So listed here are some ‘loving-actions’ that you can take when first exploring a new relationship:
1. Make sure you stay focused within your own body, notice your own feelings rather than tuning into the other person’s feelings. Do NOT take the responsibility for your partners feelings own worth or security, and DO NOT make the other person responsible for your own feelings of worth or security.

2. Make a firm decision and promise with yourself before getting together with another person, that you are willing to lose that person rather than losing yourself. Make sure you make a conscious decision NOT to make the other person’s needs, wants and feelings be more important than your own.

3. Stay firm on your own truth and beliefs. Do NOT let the other person talk or sway you away from what feels good and right for you.

4. Be willing to take full 100% accountability and responsibility for you behaving in a worthy, safe and powerful way. Also be willing to be who you are rather than trying to impress others. Make a conscious effort and decision with the firm integrity of who you really are. That is a lot more important than getting the other person’s approval.

5. Do NOT dismiss or disregard things (big or small) that you find that’s difficult, intolerable or unacceptable. If you find something that was unacceptable in a previous relationship, the chances are that those things are not going to get any better. Never convince yourself that, since there are so many good qualities about this person, you can overlook the other problems or get that person to change. This NEVER hardly works!

Fears of rejection can be discovered and emerge early in any relationship. Most people are just terrified of doing something wrong and thus being rejected, as they make the other person responsible for their feelings of worth. The real fear of rejection can lead a person to give themselves up to the other person, surrendering oneself and being consumed or controlled by the other person. Then fears of loss will often surface quickly and people will find themselves to giving in to their efforts to protect themselves from their fears.

If you allow fear to dictate you, you’ll likely end up in an unsatisfying relationship. The most important thing in a new relationship is: LET LOVE BE THE GUIDE, NOT FEAR. This requires that you need to learn about what’s most loving to YOU – what is your best quality – rather than trying to avoid not being controlled or rejected by the other person.

6. Keep asking your inner self and wisdom, “So what is the most loving action toward myself right now? What’s in my highest good right now?”

If you keep asking this question to yourself, you’ll find your way through exploring that new relationship without losing yourself and without getting hurt by the other person.

This reminds your partner that you are thinking about him or her. It also increases intensity, so that you actually look forward to seeing each other next time you see them.

2. Candles

According to ancient Chinese Feng Shui, the color of the seduction candle is red, and the ingredients are pine, musk, patchouli, cedar or juniper. Candles can put the romance back in your relationships. So why not fill your bedroom with scented candles, turn off or dim the lights, just to relax in each others arms?

Prepare aphrodisiac type of foods such as: chili, oysters, chocolate, honey, figs, and walnuts, all said to aid in the stimulation of love hormones.

4. Love Letters and Poems
Leave some type of love note for your partner. You can post this this in the bedroom, kitchen or bathroom before you leave for work.

Send a personal hand written love letter and send it to their work address. This will stir up the proper feelings of love in the privacy of your bedroom. Inspiration for these notes can be taken from music or love poem books.

5. Try To Get Away
There are obviously a lot of distractions in your relationship, such as children or work. You can plan a short vacation for the weekend or even just for the day. Arrange a nice trip to the Spa or a Hotel by the ocean, so that both of you are in a completely different environment than you usually are, where you both can relax and concentrate on each other.

Using these five secrets shows your significant other just how much you really truly love them, and guaranteed to spice up your love life, strengthen your relationship, and keep yourselves happy for years to come!
