Is it really possible to make any guy fall in love with you, or are you just kidding yourself? Do guys call all the shots in a relationship, or do girls have more power than they realise? What does it take to move relationships beyond a few fun dates into something more serious? If these are questions that you've struggled with, you need to read this article. It's a three point plan to make any guy fall in love.

1. UNDERSTAND WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT

It's not sex. It's not emotional blackmail. It's not one partner taking control whilst the other one just dances to their tune. Love is an emotional bond between two people, based on trust, friendship and respect. It can't be forced, it needs time to strengthen and grow. So provide the time and space in which this can happen.

2. IF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED, FIRST LOVE YOURSELF

Before you can make any guy fall in love, you first have to be loveable. Why should he fall in love with you otherwise. Take time for you. Appreciate your assets, spend time with your friends and your family, develop a rich and interesting life. You're a unique human being, and you're offering someone the chance to share in that unique experience.

3. COMMUNICATE

This is so important. Sex will take you only so far. What guys want is someone who makes them laugh, who makes them feel good, and who stimulates them emotionally and intellectually as well as physically. So talk to your man, listen to what he has to say, and be a good friend to him.

Finally, relax and have fun. Relationships should be fun, and if they're not, there's something wrong. Above all, be yourself. The aim is to make any guy fall in love with you, in all your unique glory, not some pretend version of yourself.
