I’ve been having a lot of conversations with men about their girlfriends and what to do when things begin to head south. Here are a few things that I’ve tried with previous girlfriends, and I know that they work:

Let’s say that your girlfriend doesn’t pick up the phone when you call, doesn’t call you as much, and doesn’t want to hang out. What do you do? You don’t contact her AT ALL. Let her miss you. Again, women sometimes don’t remember what they have until it’s gone. And remember, you must cut off ALL contact until she starts to contact you on a regular basis again. No excuses.

This is more of a pre-emptive move. The more invested a woman is, the less likely she is to leave you. This is exactly why I let women buy me things, take me out to dinner, etc. I always make sure that she is more invested into the relationship than I am. There was a reader who spent $300 on a plane ticket to visit an ex-gf that wasn’t all that interested in him. If he was smart, then he would have made her buy the plane ticket or at least go half on it. This is exactly why when the time came for him to visit, she called off the plans. She simply wasn’t invested in him, so she didn’t care.

This is another pre-emptive move. I never give my girlfriend too much of my time. The instant she knows that she can be with and spend time with you any time she wants, is the instant you become a little less attractive. People in general want what they can’t have, and this is exactly why you must keep her wanting you by limiting your time with her. Ever heard someone say “I’m just tired of looking at/being with so and so?”. Don’t be a so and so.

Chances are, if your girlfriend is growing distant, she already has her next love interest lined up. She may not be dating or fucking the other person yet, but I can guarantee that she is feeling pretty damn good about her chances. In other words, the other person is already giving her heavy indicators of interest. I’m not saying that you should cheat on her, but I am saying that you better start lining up your options. The last thing you want to be, is a guy left out in the cold. Depression is not good. You can always stop talking to the other women if your girl is no longer growing distant.

A lot of relationships go south simply because there isn’t an open line of communication. Why are couples like this? Because they don’t feel like they can be honest with one another. They are afraid of being ridiculed and yelled at by their spouse, so they just avoid the confrontation altogether. However, if you are open about things, and aren’t critical of your girlfriend, she will always feel like she can talk to and be honest with you, for better or for worse.

Anytime a girlfriend of mine begins to grow distant, I go to the opposite end of my personality spectrum. Not only is it a great way to keep the relationship interesting, but if she doesn’t like the change, it causes her to realize why she fell for you in the first place. Sometimes, women love your behavior, but the problem is that they’ve grown bored with it. This is exactly why I mix up being an asshole with being one of the nicest guys in the world. Women say that it is impossible to read and predict my behavior. Unpredictability is a good thing. It keeps them interested.
