Never Chase Men Again: 38 Dating Secrets to Get the Guy, Keep Him Interested, and Prevent Dead-End Relationships
If a man doesn’t take you seriously, he may feel compelled to have a good time with you. Unfortunately, this good time will last until you finally realize you’re being taken for a ride or until Mr. Time-Waster moves on to the woman he REALLY wants.
In cases like this, what a woman really requires are two things: a healthy amount of self-respect and a set of “player-proof” dating rules that will allow her to make wise dating decisions as she navigates the treacherous territory of finding Mr. Right.
A woman’s confidence is communicated to a man by what she stands for and what she doesn’t. Being able to socialize with men, having confident body language confidently, and illustrating confidence in your femininity will only go so far if you still allow men to have their way with your emotions, time, affections, body, and anything else for that matter.
Self-confidence makes a woman more attractive, but unless it affects how she enforces her personal boundaries, it won’t do anything to keep a man interested in her for the long-term.

He’s Not That Interested, He’s Just Passing Time: 40 Unmistakable Behaviors of Men Who Avoid Commitment and Play Games with Women
Men don’t really have “commitment issues.” At least, not in the way most women think men do. When a man tells you he has “commitment issues,” there’s a good chance that what he REALLY means is he’s not that interested in you and is just using you to pass time with until he meets someone “better.”
When a man isn’t interested in a relationship with you, his “commitment issues” are nothing more than an excuse to waste your time and reap the benefits of your decision to stay with him to “see where this thing goes.”
And because men are far more opportunistic when it comes to dating, many guys won’t hesitate to take advantage of a dating situation that reaps high rewards with as little effort possible.
It’s at this point where many women make one of the worse dating decisions possible, as they choose to remain with a half-interested man, hoping that over time they’ll be able to “lull” him into a serious commitment.
In this book, you’ll get an inside look at how a man thinks and interacts with a woman when he’s not that interested in her. This sort of male behavior is actually easy to spot IF you know what to look for. It’s extremely difficult for a man to waste your time and treat you like a short-term plaything without exhibiting certain unmistakable behaviors that clearly communicate that he’s trying to keep you interested…but unclaimed.

Save The Best For Last by Vanessa Williams
“Sometimes, the snow comes down in June. Sometimes, the sun goes around the moon. I see the passion in your eyes. Sometimes, it’s all a big surprise ‘cause there was a time when all I did was wish you’d tell me this was love. It’s not the way I hoped or how I planned but somehow, it’s enough. And while we’re standing face to face, isn’t this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed, you go and save the best for last.
All of the nights you came to me when some silly girl had set you free. You wondered how we’d make it through. I wondered what was wrong with you ‘cause how could you give your love to someone else and share your dreams with me. Sometimes the very thing you’re looking for was the one thing you can’t see…” ~Vanessa Williams

Fierce Love: Creating a Love that Lasts—One Conversation at a Time
Often in our romantic relationships, we long for deep connection, but we don’t know how to communicate well and sometimes withhold what we’re really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or, worse, complacency–where you are just going through the motions, more like roommates than two people in love.
As couples, we don’t stop to think how vital our conversations are. And we certainly don’t understand that what we talk about and how we talk about it determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail. By having honest, compelling conversations with our partners, we can foster true connection and a fierce love that will withstand the test of time and grow stronger over the years.
Relationships Involve Emotional Work
Love is a doing word. Unfortunately, some folks take more out than they put in. Time is the price you must pay for intimacy. It’s not a once upon a time mystery. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but it can’t tell you it’s all good like it should. The tricky part is figuring out what’s valuable, and what’s fool’s gold.
I Wanna Know by Joe: LiveAmp Performance
My Name Is Joe. I Wanna Know is available on Amazon Music
Have you ever noticed that a man is on his bestest behavior when you first meet. His words are smooth and always right on target, and powerful and cunning enough to win your heart. But, if they’re still around after thirty days, they start to change. Some don’t even last that long, it may be one or two weeks. Then, they’re like a heater running on high, blowing smoke, shooting out hot air. Most men are no longer motivated if the reward is removed.
Men are simple: Feed them, Give them Sex, and Let them Feel like a man. Most men do not like to discuss their feelings. They prefer action over words. If you’re doing all three, he’s happy and content. They’re annoying as hell, but easy to please. But, then there are those men who cannot be pleased no matter what you do. They find some insignificant thing to complain, yell and scream about.
Men haven’t evolved much since being cavemen when it comes to sexual desires: he likes what feels good, and he likes it with great frequency. When they perceive that a sexual favor is about to be granted, they have difficulty concentrating on anything else. It has attention-holding potential.
I want someone in my life who will love me for me, if you believe in that sort of thing. So, I avoid clubs, bars and late-night activities. I’m not interested in going through a lot of some bodies to find one somebody. Not that it wouldn’t be fun, but I’d rather wait for that something special. This may be an overly simplistic view, but I’m playing a beneficial role in maintaining my heart and my health.
Figuring out who people really are takes time…a lot of time. It’s an investment with no definite return. Therefore, I have to be captain of my guard so that I can choose rightly.

I Love You, but I’m Not IN Love with You: Seven Steps to Saving Your Relationship
If the relationship you have with your significant other is defined more by companionship than passion . . . if you love each other deeply but are not deeply in love . . . if you feel that something’s missing or is no longer there . . . then you could be experiencing ILYB (I Love You, But . . .).
This is a much-needed book to help men and women of all ages in any type of committed romantic relationship to truly understand love and to point out the everyday habits that undermine growing together.
“For me, love is really caring deeply, but unconditionally. Love is forgiving. Love is peace. I think nobody has hit the one true definition of it because it’s one of those things that can’t be put in a box. Love is like some godly thing.” ~Sean “P Diddy” Combs
