Get a Relationship Promotion

Taking your home with you does have fringe benefits.

Interview Well—Smart clothes, a big smile, firm handshake—first impressions count if you want to get a better job, and it works with men, too. How’s he going to appreciate your brilliance if you’re playing it cool? Show him the real you by acting as normally as possible. Just remember not to do all the talking and making an effort to listen.

Work for that promotion—Would you take your foot off the accelerator at work once you got the job? The most important element of attraction is maintaining freshness and intrigue, so your relationship doesn’t become stale.

Negotiate—If you’re unhappy at work, the only way to improve things is to let the people know, otherwise, how can you things be fixed? Speak up about what you think or want. Your dreams and desires make up half of the relationship after all.

Network—Research proves that when a man is separated from his mother as a baby, he goes through a crucial period of “gender identification” with other men, allowing him to become independent. This is why his connection with groups of men is imperative to him. Get in with them and you’re far more likely to win his heart.

Move Companies—If you hit the glass ceiling (figuratively) you have to accept that to move up you need to move on. Never settle for a second-rate relationship. Breaking up might be painful, but don’t cling on just because you are afraid to be alone. It was never a waste of time–be happy for the great times you’ve had and prepare for more.
