Strong Masculine Presence

Recall that the universe is a reflection of you. If you hold on too tight to someone, you are in effect saying to the world, “I’m afraid of losing her.” The world will then simply affirm your feeling by making you lose her. Instead, celebrate every moment of her presence in your life, knowing full well that her presence is temporary. If you’re busy appreciating her and being exceptionally good to her, you won’t have time to think about losing her. Also, leave the cage door open. Men often get so caught up in keeping a woman that they forget that, as wonderful as the other person may be, the relationship itself isn’t fulfilling. You don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with you, and that’s true for both parties.

Of course, the best way not to have to worry about losing her is once again to turn the tables, making sure that she’s more worried about losing you. If you successfully applied the principles of The Tao of Dating, chances are that you became attractive to more than one woman. Women notice this and value it. The next section talks about how to keep that attractiveness going, even after you’re in a long term relationship.

Tightening the helmet If you’ve done everything right up to this point, congratulations. You embodied a strong masculine presence, you were compelling, you were romantic, you were an allaround stud, and by golly you got the girl. Now I’ve got news for you: the work has just begun. As the old samurai proverb goes: After the victory is won, tighten your helmet.
