Tao of Badass Review

Is something wrong in your relationship? Did you feel confident in your partnership, but all of a sudden it seemed like the entire relationship derailed? It can be confusing and frustrating when you've been dating a man for a little while and things seem to come to a dead stop out of nowhere. There are a few triggers that women can pull to make a man want to run in the other direction. Do you know what they are?

Too Much Pressure
Are you talking about marriage, kids and a white picket fence by the second date? Well, there's your answer. Guys don't think about the future like we women do. It's not that they're not interested in it, it's just not relevant to them at any given point in time. Men don't go on a first date expecting to find their life partner, they go out expecting to have a good time and get to know a woman they are attracted to. Why rush things? Don't force him into commitments or try to drop hints about the future before the time is right. You will only send him packing.

Don't Baby Him
Most women fall for a guy hard if they fall for him at all. This usually leads to the doting girlfriend syndrome, where you may try way too hard to make your guy happy. Planning dates for him and giving him little presents may seem cute and romantic, but you have to let a man be a man. Guys like to lead and be in control of the situation. Even if he's not, let him think that he is! If you let your man take the reins when he wants to, you give him a lot of headway to be himself. Taking away his ability to control the situation will certainly scare him off.

Be Yourself
Take a step back and look at yourself objectively. Are you the same woman he started dating? Or have you made changes in your personality, your career, even your wardrobe to try to appease the man you're dating? Whether it's conscious or subconscious, many women tend to lose track of who they are and how they identify when they are trying to impress a new guy. Just keep in mind that he chose to start dating you because of you, not because he thought you would become a carbon copy of him!

In the end, the best thing you can do for your relationship is remain calm and honest. Don't go out of your way to be something you're not. Stay true to yourself and if it is meant to be, he will love that about you.
