Well, yeah, if there was nobody else your life, you're probably either a hermit or a socio-path. However, monogamy can take care of those little scheduling problems... **Men are competitive by nature. If he can't compete for you, he's likely to **find a more challenging women, one he'll have to fight for..... There are much more fun things to compete over/against than each other ....... 'honey did you get the time on that?' **Appear busy and not too eager. That's what will perk his interest..... Busy with what, pray tell? And here I thought the best way to perk his interest was jumping over the desk at him... **See more than one man if you're interested in keeping Mr. Right's attention.. And you don't write in your date book with ink. See the problems with scheduling above. **Have you ever noticed how a man you've treated with indifference keeps coming**back again and again..... If you're indifferent, how are you going to notice? He probably just wants to check to see if you're still breathing. I think this advice must have been written by someone who grew up when 'nice girls didn't' and 'you have to get a man to take care of you' were the norm. Now that we (hopefully) have all grown up and realise that we don't have to withold/pursue sex as if it were the holy grail, we ought to be able treat each other as human beings rather than trophies or the enemy. Unfortunately, there are still women afoot that have the 'put their head up on the wall of the trophy room' syndrome. Heck, there are stillmen who have that attitude. You shouldn't hold out for the sake of the game, but then again, it is nice if you have their name memorized.
