Challenge her. You always want to be JUST out of reach. Never forget that you appear more attractive because she can’t catch you…Float…Keep your distance.  This isn’t game playing, it’s survival…If the two of you have gone out a few times and you always initiate the conversation (either through phone or text) and she NEVER does, back off…make sure she initiates a few times…most likely she’s thinking that you forgot all about her if you ignore her…Is it cruel? Yes. Does it work? Double Yes.

Don’t let her turn you into a boy toy, she’ll throw you out as soon as a real man comes along and she’s wondering why he didn’t ask her out last Friday…Float…and when the opportunity presents itself, act decisively…

When I first posted this Man Law, the feedback generated from women was almost overwhelmingly negative. Whether you call it “Floating like a Butterfly” or “cat-string theory” the same basic concepts apply – she will get bored if you don’t play with her. Case in point, observe the video below:

Now, whether or not you believe in the theory is irrelevant, the basics of “cat-string theory” are thus…Adam Corolla of the late MTV “LoveLine” said it best: You try to pet  the cat, and the cat jumps up on the fridge.  You act disinterested in it, start watching TV, and the cat rubs against your leg and wants you to scratch its neck.  Why are women like this? We may never know…I thought the chimpanzee was our closest relative but you don’t hear anyone call it “chimp-theory”…

The basics of “Float like a Butterfly” are the same. Its basically a way of “flirting” with her without allowing yourself to be “caught”.  She  might act like she hates it because she wants what she can’t have. If you give her what she wants, she may be “placated” for the day or week, but ultimately, this will do nothing for your cause.

Act Decisively. Never ASK for a Kiss, She'll Say No. If you get turned down, don't sweat it. Make sure she sees that her decision has not changed your demeanor.  You know what you want...

Act Decisively. Never ASK for a Kiss, She'll Say No. If you get turned down, don't sweat it. Make sure she sees that her decision has not changed your demeanor.

Floating and acting decisively in a nutshell means that when she plays her games to determine if you are interested in her or not, you “play” with her.  If she flirts with you at the bar, you casually flirt back, without making any “moves” and thus, showing all your cards. If she is flirting back with you and you are “floating”, making a direct, bold, no-holds bar approach…will work. You have to trust yourself on this…you can even go as far as saying “I’m going to hold you like this (Editorial Note: then hold her), and kiss you like this… ”

If she responds “You are going to kiss me?!?” with puppy dog dinner bowl eyes…Look at her…and act decisively…

Man Law #44 – ‘Man Talk’ – Disagree without being Disagreeable.

This law applies to both men AND women. There are ways to disagree without insulting the character of the person or belittling their ideas. State your opinion, and do your best to listen to hers. This goes hand in hand with the concept of “Agreeing to Disagree”. The end result of a disagreement using this method is that both you and her end on good terms. Don’t call it quits because you want to see “District 9” and she wants to sit home and watch “Little Miss Sunshine” again…Only call it quits if she wants you to sit through “The Notebook” or “Twilight”….

The really crazy thing about arguing with her is that even if you two come to an immediate agreement or compromise, she may not feel better right away.  Even if you win the argument, chances are you will pay for winning in some way…

You can throw LOGICAL Arguments right out the window...

95% of the time you can throw LOGICAL Arguments right out the window...

Again, when you first start seeing each other (pre-official relationship) , you really shouldn’t be getting into that many or any arguments… If your choice of where to go on a date ends in a heated battle, call it quits on this one no matter how hot she is and refer to Man Law #29 – Be able to say “Next” and move on. If she’s difficult at the beginning, chances are she won’t be getting any better…

Man Law #43 – When dating a new woman, Take it one day at a time. NEVER plan a date more time in advance than the length you have already been dating.

Only plan a date in advance as LONG as you've known her. Don't plan the Honeymoon before you've been engaged...

If you just met the girl a week ago, do NOT plan to take her to that new show or comedy act coming to town four weeks in the future. TOO MUCH CAN HAPPEN. She can meet someone else, you can meet someone else. This shows too much interest on your part and the woman will view you as easily won for doing so little to get your attention. It can be hard to resist this urge especially if the two of you hit it off really early.  It’s been my experience that the faster things heat up, the faster they will cool down if you have not spent some time getting to know each other a bit.  Whether the two of you have already escalated into a physical relationship or not, do not get overly excited and start planning the names of your children and the locations of your wedding. She might think its funny at first, but to herself, she may very well be thinking “This guy barely knows me and he thinks I am this way, wait until he sees me without make up on or when I’m in one of my moods…then he’ll leave.” If things escalate quickly, you want to step back and spend some time doing the simpler things.

Only plan 1 or 2 weeks max in advance after meeting her...If you already know you want to take her thats great, wait a week or so before asking her to go...

Gentleman, we’ve all been there and I know I’ve been there plenty of times.  This used to happen a lot in college where you’d meet someone, things would heat up, you go out a few times, she tells you when her birthday is (…which is 4 months away) , and you tell her that you are going to buy her a new cell phone because the one she has now is out of style. SLOW DOWN. If you haven’t even known her for four weeks and you are planning to do something for her four months from now, you are moving way too fast.   This is a trap and an easy way to get into the “LETS JUST BE FRIENDS ZONE.” Play it safe the first few weeks and possibly months. Only plan 1-2 weeks in advance if the two of you are going out on dates.

Now, this applies only to one-on-one situations where you will be going out only with her. When it comes to a group setting or a party that is happening in the future, its better to elude to an event that you are hosting and then as it approaches, invite her to that event. If you have not lost interest, invite her to the event. A lot can happen in a short time, you might meet someone and so could she, so don’t get your hopes up.
