Terry Hernon MacDonald:You've gone on one or two dates with a guy, and you're crazy about him. Now how do you keep him interested? How do you keep him coming back for more?
It's easier than it sounds. You don't have to be able to speak a foreign language, live in a loft in a trendy neighborhood, drive a hybrid, or be able to bolt tequila shots without flinching. You don't even have to be particularly great looking. Or funny.
You don't have to be anything but yourself.
Sure, you may be thinking, but I'm not all that interesting. In fact, I'm actually kind of boring.
At the end of the day, who isn't?
The key to captivating a man is to cultivate and maintain interests of your own. This means:
1) You never cancel a night out with a friend to go out with him--ever. (Why don't you just tell the guy you're desperate and afraid to let him out of your sight?)
2) You continue to pursue your hobbies, your career, and your relationships with friends and family at the rate you did before you started dating.
In other words, you keep a full life.
If the guy tells you he can't see you this weekend, don't ask him why. Let him volunteer the information. If and when he does, tell him to have a good time and mean it. Chances are, he'll be intrigued enough to ask you what your plans are for the weekend. Keep your answer vague (especially if you don't already have plans). Tell him that you may go out with friends, and then go home and call one or two to line something up.
