2. Never call, e-mail or text him in any predictable way. This means call whenever you want to call (within reason) or not at all. Never let him be able to “expect” your call.

3. Be on time for dates and cancel occasionally. Being on time is unusual when it comes to women (sorry, but it’s true), so this will set you apart and get him thinking. And cancel once in a while. You don’t want to be rude and cancel at the last minute. Do this by phone. Calling shows you have balls.

4. If you’re not naughty by nature, blurt out some profanity or outrageous comment. Don’t go overboard. Just make it noticeably racier than usual.

5. Ask him on a date. If he says no, shrug it off and don’t return his calls for a few days.

Overall, you don’t want to let your man/victim be able to sense any patterns about you, because if he does, he’ll quickly settle in around those patterns—and then lose interest.

Creating Rules for Breaking
If you exercise hypocrisy in the right way, it will get your man on the warpath, where he is actively seeking to understand how you can get away with something. You provoke this by creating rules that are ok for women to break, but not guys.

•    Say you don’t really like kissing in public, then plant one on him. Tell him you couldn’t help yourself.

•    Have him help you lift something in your home because you can’t lift it. Then bring up how strong you feel from going to the gym.

Employing hypocrisy as one of your subtler strategies can throw off his game plan. It works because in romance, it’s ok not to play fair sometimes. (Men don’t always play fair, why should you?)

Keep in mind that these “rules for breaking” are cute and fun, and different from the standards and boundaries for your relationship. Also, use the “good for girls, not for guys” sparingly; you don’t want him to get so angry he drops you.
