Transform Your Situationship Into a Relationship Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

You don't get brownie points for going the extra mile for a man you met two weeks ago. You don't get brownie points for putting up with his disrespect or cooking for him a five course meal on the second date, because you want to show him that you are wifey material, even though he has never once reciprocated your energy.

So if you want someone to chase you, you have to treat them like a drug dealer treats their clients. You get them hooked and then you threaten to take it away -- Not with your words, but with your actions. Follow my 5 step guide, and they won't be able to get enough off you.
