Tips and Tricks

Watch out for manipulators who are only pretending to be in love with you.


  • Be aware that a man still exhibit all of the above loving behaviors and still be married, dating or cheating, so watch out for players or narcissists who may be trying manipulating you into a relationship merely for sex
  • If a man continues with theses behaviors, but you want them to stop because the love is not reciprocated between the two of you, then it is likely you have a stalker on your hands
  • A man who flatters you too much may be too needy an insincere to be with over the long term, and may be more obsessive rather than loving
  • If a man is showing signs of being smitten with you, but you don't love him back, it is not a good idea to take advantage of him financially or otherwise because this breeds resentment and possible vengeance for lying to him
