Today I’m going to remind you of something you already know. Something important but easily forgotten. Something that tugs at a man’s heart.
They are the things that make you smile when you think of him. The things that made you fall in love with him.
They were there when you first met him. That’s why you said yes when he asked you out.
They are the things hidden in his heart that you admire, appreciate and trust. It’s a beautiful thing when you first recognize those gems in his character.
Basically, that’s what falling in love is. It’s seeing into another person’s heart and desiring what you find there.
But then you hit a snag.
When we first begin a relationship with someone, we’re attracted to the possibility of what the relationship could become. It’s an exciting new adventure.
As that possibility becomes a reality, it’s intoxicating… for a while. And then the intoxication seems to fade.
Usually, it fades for one person sooner than it does for the other person. And it fades because you get used to the things that initially made your partner seem special.
When that magical feeling becomes an everyday feeling, it’s easy to stop looking for potential in your partner. Instead, you fixate on the ways he’s different from you, the things you don’t like. And you can easily forget all about the things that initially attracted you to him.
In a long-term relationship, it’s normal for the feelings of infatuation to come and go. When feelings of infatuation are low, you stop fixating on the things you find attractive about him. You see him as a normal person. The sense that he’s “perfect” reveals itself to be an illusion.
When that illusion breaks, the magic withers and some relationships die.
If that’s happened to you, I have some good news. Recovering that special connection isn’t all that difficult.
If you want the best relationship possible, in the beginning and for the long-haul, take this advice. Keep on looking for the qualities in him you most enjoy, desire and respect. Finding them once isn’t enough. Trust me, if you don’t keep looking for them, you’ll forget about them.
And then something terrible happens. Problems become the focus of the relationship. And that slowly poisons the magic of your romantic connection.
So never stop looking for what’s good in the relationship, and in him. Search the mind and heart of your partner diligently and often. And when you see something beautiful in him, acknowledge it out loud. Let him know you appreciate him.
When you do that, two things happen.
First, as you rediscover the things in him that resonate with you, you’ll feel the electric excitement of possibility all over again. You’ll feel alive. You’ll feel desire, and you’ll want to follow that feeling on a journey that brings you closer to him again and again.
He’ll sense that positive energy in you and be attracted to it.
And here’s the second thing that will happen.
You’ll also be encouraging him to show you more of the qualities that made you fall in love with him in the first place. Usually, those are the same qualities that make him feel happy and fully alive. So it’s like you bring out the best in him when you look for what you like.
And here’s the magic that seals the deal…
He will like the version of himself that he finds in your presence. And that will make him want to spend more time with you.
You will essentially reawaken and reinforce the special qualities that cause attraction between the two of you.
If you do this from the beginning of a relationship, you’ll not only keep the flames of passion burning hot, but you’ll build a more solid foundation, as well.
What it comes down to is this. No matter how strong the initial magic feels, loving someone is a choice. So choose to love the best you can find in him. Don’t let frustration or setbacks become the focus of your attention.
Everything you fell in love with is still there, hidden in his heart. Seek it out, and never stop telling him what you find.
Trying to rekindle an old romance. We live in different countries. He said he was was very happy when we first reconnected but I must always be the one to text first.
I had a crush on a guy in high school thru classmates he contacted me and asked if I was married/yes, he is too 3rd one and not happy. He is in Texas now and I’m in Oregon. He said I was his ”first love”. I loved him too. I was deliriously happy he contacted me. Said still loved me, I him, asked me to be best friend, I agreed, said we should be having a ”phone affair”. He owns his own business in Texas. Works too many hours to be away from home. Wife takes care of indigent mother & BIL & they have no life. We called & texted & emailed now all of a sudden NOTHING. I am at a loss. HELP
Hello James,
I met a guy around a month ago, we started seeing each other and things seem to be going fine. One night he told me he wanted to have a serious talk about our relationship, we told he has a 2 year old boy, but we weren’t able to have that conversation that day. I had to to go out of out that weekend, when I came back he started pulling away. I texted him a couple of days later asking him if we could come over to talk, but he said he couldnt. It’s been 2 weeks since I last talked to him. What could have gone wrong? We were always able to talk, he was the one that wanted to have the serious talk in the first place, why pull away after that? It feels awful to be ghosted. Im 40, he is 35.
I am 70, widowed for almost 6 years and I met a man my age. We fell in love with each other, told each other that often. Things started to go downhill when I allolwed him to talk me into certain actions that I opposed. So I became involved in it and became weak and foolish. I ended up breaking his heqrt, badly, to the point of decimation (his word). We live together, I have rented out my house and so I am here with him, not speaking to me or even looking at me. What can I do other than wait for time to heal him? I am heartbroken that I hurt him .
