A man can feel the difference when he’s in the presence of a woman who fully appreciates him. He’s drawn to women who welcome his need to protect and take initiative. This has nothing to do with subservience.
A decent man feels her power to balance him and is attracted to confidence, the ability to feel safe, and relaxed. If you want to get his attention, say something like:
- "I feel taken care of when you choose nice places to take me."
- "You know how to make me feel special."
- "I love how I feel when I’m with you."
2. 'I can’t wait to see you again'

Nothing pushes away a man more than feeling like a woman’s "project" as she tries to change him by "smoothing his rough edges" or "polishing his potential."
You’d hate it if he did it to you, so don’t do it to him. Men love feeling respected as they are — no changes necessary. Your ability to appreciate and understand him is one of your greatest and most desirable gifts.
If you want to get his attention, say something like:
- "I don’t know how you do it, but you just seem to get me."

If you want to get his attention, say something like:
- "I know you’re busy. I’m so glad you made time to get together."
