Here's how to keep his interest.
By Liane White — Written on Dec 18, 2017
Love is very strange.
How do people fall in love? How do they stay in love? How do they completely trust another person with their heart? All of those questions are valid. Especially if you are not sure that you have really experienced what love is. If you have, then you may have more of a general idea.
Whatever your view or outlook on love is, we can all agree that it is a bit confusing.
Think back to any crushes you have had or may have. If you were to land that lucky guy, would you do anything to keep him around? Hopefully, the answer is yes (considering "anything" means you keep your self-respect and pride).
Every girl out there would LOVE a handbook on how to keep a guy in love with you. Especially forever. Having clear-cut guidelines simplified to be easy to follow is highly ideal.
But do you absolutely need a handbook? No. Keeping a man in love is certainly not impossible by any means. Intelligence, humor, kindness, etc. — just be yourself. No one can argue with you just being you. But are there any more tricks that can help as well? Some easy things to do to really seal the deal?
You can watch chick flicks or read romance novels to get ideas. But not every couple is the same. The dynamic may be different, therefore the outcome of each situation will be different. You can take pointers but mainly you have to interpret the central idea that those characters are displaying. It's your own story so you can take advice. But the bottom line is you write your own narrative.
But have no fear! We have some helpful advice on how to keep your guy based on his zodiac sign.
