Many women, especially those living in a huge city such as London, find themselves asking the question how can I make a man fall in love with me? What makes a man fall in love is a baffling one indeed. While the answer is not clear-cut, dating experts agree on some general principles. Men have intrinsic needs that a woman must fulfil before they can connect emotionally with her. When a man realises that a certain woman satisfies these criteria – he will be ready to commit.

It can be hard to meet new friends when moving to a large city like London. Dating in London can also be especially challenging because of the level of commitment people have to their careers. Time is the enemy of love. So lets find out – what makes a man fall in love with you?

Do you match his dream woman?

Every man, whether consciously or not, has a mental picture of the woman he wants to be with. Initially attraction is physical – he could be drawn to you by your physique, hair, face, smell, or something that he cannot pin point. To find out more about his “type” you can simply ask– “What type of woman do you normally go for?”

Be authentic

You can put on an act to trick him into a quick fling. But if you want a lasting relationship, then just be yourself. Dont try to please him by adopting characteristics you think will please him. Why? – because you cannot fake things forever.

Be flexible

Try to be like him. Be flexible when it will bring something positive to your initial dating experience with a new man. Take time to learn your man and to understand him. Men like women that are easy going – if you are overbearing and pushy you will drive the man away.

Show your feminine side

Sure its great to be an independent woman, but if you appear too self-assured your man may get insecure. Let him see your weak side so he can be masculine and dominate. Protecting you from harm makes him feel manly. Once he feels needed, he will commit to you emotionally.

You dont need to present yourself as helpless. You can give him a task, even if it is something you could do yourself, ask his opinion where it matters, and display your softer, feminine nature.

Brains as well as beauty

Every man loves an intelligent woman. The way you present your arguments and opinions matters. When a man asks your opinion, the response he gets will play a big role in helping him decide whether you are a woman of value. Try and avoid confrontation. Even if you are more educated than him – be gentle and give your ideas in a way that does not hurt his ego.

Be his rock

If you are really interested in a man and you want him to fall in love with you, admire, and respect you, the approach is very simple: bring out the best in your man. Every woman possesses this power. A man will increasingly fall for a woman who helps him realise his dreams. You can help him nurture his visions and achieve his goals. Make yourself an essential part of his life and he will do the same for you.
