Are you puzzled by a man you seemed to really click with...but then never heard from again? If you've ever been in this situation (and who hasn't?), Rori Raye will open your eyes as to why -- and teach you a much more effective way to gauge romantic potential.
"But we had such amazing chemistry!"
Have you ever found yourself saying this to a girlfriend after a man you really seemed to click with just...disappeared? It's such a common experience: you finally meet a man you connect with, you get your hopes up, and then poof, he's gone.
If you've been unsuccessful in love, then you can assume your "chemistry meter" is broken. We don't need to get into the reasons why here (old childhood wounds, past heartbreak, etc); what we want to address is the now that you can do something about. So let's get ready to change things for you...
The Chemistry Illusion
We women try to take this thing we call chemistry – even though it's chemistry with a man who isn't good for us – and we interpret that feeling as "wow, this is somebody, this is something."
We mistake how good a date went for what a man is feeling. We guess that if there was chemistry and he showed interest, then he must be available, he must want a relationship, and he must want it with us! But we're really just guessing all these things about a man we know almost nothing about.
What's more, if you have strong chemical feelings for a guy right away, that's an instant sign that something is wrong – this is the basis of codependency. You're attaching a lot of meaning to very little substance and creating a fantasy. Chemistry is not a magic emotion: it is something that builds over time when you feel safe with someone and you build intimacy.
So if you can't go by your chemical intuition, what can you trust? Follow a much simpler route:
Go By What a Man Does
How many hours and energy have you spent trying to come up with a reason for why a man doesn't follow up? Well, there doesn't have to be a reason. Trying to read a man is a useless thing. Men are pretty simple: they're either into you, or they're not.
You will save yourself so much pain and anxiety if you stop the detective work and instead become an observer – of what a man actually does. If a man likes you, he is supposed to call you and ask you out. If he likes you, he will follow up with you and keep asking you out. It's really as simple as that.
Attach no meaning to the fact that you feel all this chemistry with a man unless he's actually showing you with his actions that he's moving things forward. And, so you don't lose your mind while you're doing that, there's something incredibly powerful you should know about...
Expand Your Idea of Dating
An effective way to correct your chemistry meter is to do what I call Circular Dating. This means you date more than one man at a time until you have the commitment you want from the man who is right for you. And you do this by going out with guys you're not necessarily attracted to but who are doing what they're supposed to be doing – that is: calling you, following up with you, and asking you out.
Passion comes from something inside you (not from some guy), and then when you feel safe with someone, you let it out. You'll be surprised by how passionate some of these guys you're not initially head over heels for can be...if you give them a chance.
If you think you feel so much chemistry for the men who leave you hanging, just imagine what you can experience with a man who truly cares for you, cherishes you, and does what a man is supposed to do when he's into you!
Circular Dating is free therapy: when you date the guys who show up in your life, you won't get hung up on any one guy. You also learn to build chemistry by slowly trusting a man and letting your inner fire come out – with a man who's truly good to you. Don't let your chemistry meter allow you to accept less than the behavior – and the love – you deserve.

It does not really matter if you are a man or woman. Nor does it matter if you manage all the bills and look after children. Rather what it matters is that you should take the initiative to solve all problems in maintaining healthy and loving relationships.
The most important thing is not to argue with your partner and keep thinking you are right.{relatedarticles}
Being defensive or egoistic only succeeds in making her feel suffocated and causes your partner to drift further away from you even if you are staying under one roof and sleeping together. Instead, learn to control your emotions and be calm however hard it may seem initially.
Another important point to remember is to never ever beg for the your partner to return to you if things get heated up. Instead you need to provide a space for your partner by allowing him or her to stay and spend time with family. Doing this will improve your self-esteem.
Remember the purpose of marriage is to assist and support each other through ups and downs. Love is an important bridge to link a husband and wife in good and bad times.
Learn to show your passion with your partner in new ways every day. Use romantic competition, humour, messages and games to engage and brighten up your partner. Or learning a new skill like cooking and writing a poem.
Marriage is not about being in love with each other by hugging, kissing, having sex and sleeping together. It is about loving each other as a whole be it adjusting to each other's lifestyle and living habits, accepting each other's flaws and weaknesses but more importantly, staying united at all times.{relatedarticles}
This can affect your children as well as broken marriages naturally led to broken families.
Though getting advice from family, friends and marriage counsellors is helpful, they should be used as a last resort since marriage is primarily between you and your spouse agreeing with each other in order to make it work and last forever.
