There is a lot that goes into an attraction. People are attracted to all sorts of different things, and there are many factors at play.

For one thing, you need to be physically attractive, but that isn’t the only thing that matters. You have to have a certain level of personality.

And then there’s body language and eye contact, not to mention what’s happening with the other person when you talk or how they respond when you speak to them.

You don’t want to get the impression that you can just look good and then sit back and the ladies will come flocking to you. It won’t work that way because, at the end of the day, you have to know how to deal with people in general.

And one thing that matters is how solid your interpersonal skills are. If you can’t read people and figure out what they want, then it’s going to be a lot harder for you to get into a relationship with them.

So here are some things that you need to consider before you even start looking for a relationship.

1.) Be clear about what you want.

People want different things from a relationship. Some people just want to be friends, while others will want a more committed relationship, and still, others will want to eventually get married and have children together.

If you don’t know what you want, then it’s going to be a lot harder to make it happen.

And it’s not just knowing what you want that is important. It can be hard to know if the other person wants the same thing that you do. That’s why it’s so important to know how to read people and figure out what they’re looking for.

2.) Be truthful.

It’s hard to attract a person if you haven’t been honest with them. You have to be 100% honest with them, and better yet, you have to let that honesty shows.

If you’re faking it or trying to be someone that you’re not, then people will suspect something is up.

And the only way that people suspect that something is up is if they can see through the charade. And that’s going to make it harder for you.

3.) Be courteous.

Some people think that being rude is the way to go. They’re wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from trying it out now and then.

And what’s funny about it is how often they can get away with it! I remember this one girl who just loved to rag on me for no reason whatsoever, and I never knew why she liked to do that so much.

People aren’t very polite in real life, so why should you be? If you’re going to hang out with someone, then you should do it with respect. You have to show people the respect that they deserve, and if your behavior isn’t respectful, then people will sense that.

4.) Understand your limits.

The only thing that matters is what you want and what you’re willing to put up with. If you have the right boundaries, then the right person will come along and find them for you.

On the other hand, if you don’t have boundaries, then talking with one person may be too much for someone else.

And if it’s more than they can handle, then they’ll move on to someone more willing to put up with their crap.

5.-Trust your gut.

If you don’t listen to your gut, then you are going to get screwed over.

And yes, some people will try to screw you over. Some people will try to trick you and play mind games with you. And if they do it well enough, they can get away with it most of the time.

But even when they do it, you’ll be able to tell by how they treat you. If they act like a jerk, then you know that they’re up to no good.

And if they act like nice people, then maybe you can trust them enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.

6.) Make no excuses.

If you don’t want to do something, then don’t make an excuse for why you can’t do it. If you’re not feeling well, then feel better. If you’re tired, then get some sleep.

And if you don’t want to go out with someone, then don’t pretend to be busy — just say no.

Saying no isn’t hard, so if you’re shy about it or just don’t have the guts to say it, then it’s going to be a lot harder for you to meet people you might like.

7.) Be intriguing.

Relationships aren’t just about being good-looking and having solid interpersonal skills. They are also about having some sort of emotional connection. That’s why it can be so hard to find someone who won’t cheat on you or who will stick around if you have a big fight.

So, if you want to meet someone and get into a relationship, having other things going for you can help. Like hobbies or interests or whatever else makes you stand out from the crowd.

There are a lot of things that have to come together to make a relationship work. And if you don’t know how attraction works, then you might think that it’s all about looks, but it’s not.

So if you stick with people who have the same interests as you and aren’t bad-looking, then there is a good chance that someone will be attracted to you and want to get into a relationship with you.

But if none of that happens, then it’s probably because you never really made yourself known.

And if you have good interpersonal skills and seem to be a nice person, then people will start to notice you.

But it’s all about how you present yourself and what you do that will make someone interested in knowing more about you.

And that’s what the next chapter is all about. It’s about developing your personality so that it is attractive in itself, without any help from other things.
