RE:

if he's actually the player you say he is then he already knows this...

IF he already knows this, then why pursue me and continue to stay?

 

That doesn't make sense, Alphamale. May be he likes to take advantage of the situation, and to him being superior is an ego boost.

So Alpha, are you saying that only undesirable people commit of fall for a person?

no, i'm saying the undesirables commit easier and fall easier than someone who has many more options.

RE:

Probably a good strategy, but what if the raft has drifted some whilst you're away? Into more favourable waters??

I'm going to do that -i.e. discontinue contact for 2 weeks.

 

IF he is truly keen, and wants me for who I am -he will come after me.

 

Otherwise, then it was never meant to be. I have to make him work hard for me [in order to captivate me].

Ok fair enough, though I don't agree 100%, I've always thought that people who have options (desirable candidates you may call them) just fell for the right reasons, but thats getting off topic.

then he'll probably be getting his helmet polished elsewhere...

No he won't....he's like me. We have huge egos when it comes to women. We like women to chase us (mainly becasue many do). So if a girl doesn't chase then we know that others will. We're basically lazy at heart.

RE:

I know. I am afraid he'll turn out to be lazy at heart, and more!

 

But, I am sticking to 2 weeks. I only talk to him 1x [sometimes 2x] a week.

 

What would you suggest I do?

But they WILL if the woman is a special one and worth it to them

Ummm, but he'd have to do something for it to get started in the first place

um, how will he know if she is special and worth it if there is no relationship? women choose the man, not the other way around.

RE:

Good point. He has, attempted, in the past -but I hinted disinterest because it was too soon.

 

He isn't truly a stud [i think]. He tells me, he has never had a hard time getting women to make out with him. Perhaps, he is used to women chasing him.

 

Yet, on the contrary, he doesn't like attention and doesn't want a woman to walk-all-over him. He said it himself: "I am just a normal, charming guy".

 

He had complimented me, before, with respect to my character and personality -he knows I'm a great person. But, it doesn't add up.

 

I think I know what I need to do. I am going to show him, what he will miss out on, then immediately do 2 weeks of no contact.

I dont' know S&W....this is a tough nut to crack. I would prescribe 1 week of strict NC in this particular situation. 2 wks may be too long.

I don't think she wants to crack it...just make it (them?) ache.
