[Ask April Masini]

First of all, you need to buy and read Think & Date Like A Man. It’s a book that will give you all the rules, hints, tips and advice for dating so you can not only know what to do and what to do, but what he means when he says or does (or doesn’t say or do) something. So buy it. It’s only $15.95 and it’s going to save you loads. Here’s the link: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html[/url].

Second, while you pride yourself on being straight forward, you have to understand that that dynamic won’t serve you in a relationship. I’m not suggesting you lie, but when you start telling him how you feel first — and too soon!! — you take away the opportunity for him to chase you – and believe me, guys love to chase women. It makes them feel good about themselves and the relationship, so you’re going to have back off on being so straight forward.

And lastly — for now, anyway because I want you to read Think & Date Like A Man before we “talk” again — you can’t always control the relationship. You’re going to have to wait for him to make the next move, so don’t text first — but when he does, you can dial up the tools you have (and will learn about from reading Think & Date Like A Man) to let him know that you’re interested.

I hope that helps.
