IT's LESS ABOUT  HOOKING A MAN THAN IT IS ABOUT KEEPING ONE ON THE HOOK AND LANDING HIM!

It's easy to attract a man. Drop bait in the ocean fish come by the flocks. Your usual grooming, charm, intelligence will bring you a courting male at regular intervals. Often, we attract them, but the first conversation, the first date, we lose them. Or, the courthship and honey moon go fine, and then we lose them. What are the RULES to making a man slide deeper and deeper into love?

1.) LISTEN to him, and don't contribute more than what responds to what he's saying. Do not bring new conversation subjects to the table unless he's real faulty in bringing them, himself. Talk when spoken to is a good rule of hand.

2.) SPEAK KINDLY. Never run down girls he knows, knew. Even if you catch him with a girl, do not jeer the taste he manifested in having her as a casual pal. Do not run down other women, ever. Do not badmouth his friends.

3.) PRIDE IN YOURSELF. Do not make an ass out of yourself EVER. In the SELF IMAGE area, no dressing oddly, no worrying aloud about how you're dressed. No changing outfits nervously and showing vanity and uncertainty both. No showing off in public, no talking too knowledgeably, no dressing too disco and then dancing like Brittany as if you were inviting other men to watch you. No stalking him, phoning and hanging up, no jealousy, no questioning him, no going through his stuff or his pockets, no doing research on him behind his back, no moving too boldly on his personal set of friends. There is one way to sprout a seed in a pot; there are a million ways to kill a sprout while it's still in the nursery stage.

4.) PEACE NOT BATTLE- In tense moments, women fly off the handle. It's a girl thing. To Men it's MARTIAN and weird. Say you're tiling a floor and he is not setting the little thingies in and you blow up and say stridently, the thingies have to go between the tiles! The 'I'm God and you're Not' stridency when you mentioned the thingies,  STINGIES ! And he will never forget that slap!
Or say you're at Mario's Pizza and he stupidly ordered the cheesey linguini when you were on a diet and wanted to try the high protein veal. You blow up at his thoughtlessness. The waiter hears it. It's your thoughtlessness that gets remembered by both men. However, while the waiter may live to serve you  proteins again,  that date is not going to serve you his protein in the History of the world. He is outta your life and you did it with your mouth.
