Email from Eric Charles : How To Make That Guy Commit

Hi Mule,

Eric Charles here.

Women ask me this question over and over again:

How do I get him to call me his
girlfriend?


- or -

How do I get him to become official or
exclusive with me?


- or -

How do I get him to say he's in a relationship with me
on Facebook?


Maybe you're already in an "official" relationship, 
but I would still urge you to keep reading because the 
trick I'm about to reveal applies to all
relationships at any stage.


In many cases, a woman asks me one of those "how do I 
get a title / relationship status" question after 
weeks or months of waiting for the guy to commit to 
her in some way.

Things started out fine and progressed into seeing 
each other steadily and regularly. But for whatever 
reason, despite the frequent visits, sleepovers, 
dates, texts, etc. he says he doesn't want a
relationship.


(Or for some, he says he's not ready for some next 
step... moving in, marriage, etc.)

There's a truth about people - men and women: People
only step up to do something when they're inspired to
and/or feel it's necessary.


So to all you women who have been treating that guy 
who's not your boyfriend as if he were your boyfriend 
(or heck, some of you are treating him like your 
godlike husband), I have this message:

He's already getting what he wants.

He knows you're not going anywhere. He knows that 
there's no urgency to change anything about your 
arrangement, really, since you are deeply and 
completely infatuated with him.

You're in deep and he knows it. He might not know 
that you've planned your wedding or the birth of your 
two kids in your mind yet, but he knows that you could care 
less about any other man on the planet.

And therein lies the problem.

See, you say you want or need a committed relationship
or a boyfriend or a husband. But you settle for what
you're getting now and chances are you're going to
keep settling (and getting what you're currently
getting) until something breaks.


It's not that he's a bad guy. It's not that he wants 
to take advantage of you or take you for granted. 
It's simply that you're graciously accepting how 
things are even though you're dying a silent death 
inside.

You might think that you're doing a favor for your 
relationship in the long run. You're not.

The fact is, you're lying to yourself and to your guy 
if you're putting on a happy face on the surface but 
deep down feeling that you want or need better.

To quickly recap, if a guy says he "doesn't want a relationship" or "to be exclusive" or "to be official" or to marry you...

He means it.

So believe him... and if that's where you're at now (or if you're ever there at some point in the future), I'm going to talk you through what you need to know now.

So here's the trick... and it's drop dead simple.

First, you must realize... really realize... that your current relationship status and arrangement is your current relationship status.

If he says he doesn't want to be in an exclusive relationship with you, then you had better make sure that this guy is not your only option.

It's amazing to me, but there are so many women who just commit to guys that have specifically said that they're not committed to the relationship.

The women hope and pray for things to change, but again, why would they change if the guy has everything he would get from a girlfriend without the title?

And on that note, when he told you that he didn't want to be in a relationship, I'm sure he gave you a reason:

He's not over his ex...

He has baggage...

He's not in a good place in his life for a girlfriend...

He's too busy to commit to a relationship and wouldn't be able to give it his all...

And on and on.

Listen: When a man says he doesn't want to be in a relationship with you, he means it. The reason doesn't matter - the reason is just to soften the blow. The real message always is: I don't want to be in a relationship with you.

The "trick" is to never treat that guy like a priority when you're only an option to him.

In other words - if he hasn't chosen you as the one, then you need to make sure that you have options as well. This is for a few very important reasons:

Men want to be with a prize. Heck, women want to be with a prize too -we like to be with people who are a cut above the rest.

Well a prize is something that not only needs to be won, but could also be lost to someone else if they don't bring their A game.

See a lot of women don't give men the opportunity to bring their A game. The women see the slightest glimmer of a chance for a relationship and they shut down all other options.

They delete their Match profile, they tell all other potential guys that they're seeing someone, etc.

And the new guy can feel that there's no competition - he's won and there's no need to bring his A-game for his victorious claiming of you as his prize.

This is why it's so important not only to truly be single until you're actually in a relationship with a guy, but also to have multiple options.

When you see guys stepping up and locking down a woman in a relationship--whether it's getting the girlfriend title, moving in together, or even marriage--the man knows that if he doesn't commit and move forward, he could lose the woman.

When men commit, it's because they're inspired to bring their A-game, inspired to make their woman happy, and inspired to claim their prize.

I am not suggesting manipulating men or holding this over a guy's head like a grim shadow. That will backfire heavily, I promise.

What I am recommending is a mindset shift. When you don't like what you're getting, stop trying to change it and instead look for other options to get what you want.

If the man cares about keeping you, he will step up to keep you. No man wants his woman to choose another option than him - if he wants you, he will step up to the plate.

On the other hand, if you take that mindset too far, it will have extremely bad consequences. Think of this mindset as a light spice, just a pinch of it to season a pleasant meal. Too much spice and you ruin it.

All in all, if you want a man to commit, you must activate his desire to possess you and steal you away from all other would-be suitors.

If you don't activate this desire in him, he will not commit to you.

It is amazing how quickly a man will suddenly "fix" whatever issue was standing in the way of him committing to you when he thinks he could lose you to another man.

Suddenly he's over his baggage...

Suddenly his relentless work schedule has loosened up...

Suddenly he's ready to be in a relationship...

Now, the other side of this trick is that if the guy doesn't step up even when you do have options (remember, you're not flaunting them or talking about it), he was never going to.

It's that simple. If he doesn't step up when he knows you could go with another man, then you just learned info that could save you years of heartache and time wasted on a dead end relationship.

Plus, if he doesn't step up, you have options! You're not starting at square one. You can part ways with the guy amicably (or not) and start seeing other men who will likely be more likely to commit.

Don't be surprised if you get a tearful call from the non-committal guy a few days or weeks later, saying that he needs you and he messed up. But remember, your current relationship status is your true relationship status.

So stop daydreaming about what "could be" and start facing what is. If your relationship status is single, you're single. Act accordingly and you might just have things start moving forward.

Hope it helps,

eric charles

Si Pita Hijau, Kuning, dan Merah

Ini pengalaman ospek yang lucu, menggemaskan sekaligus menyebalkan. Pasalnya, aku belum pernah mengalami hal seperti ini. Ini terjadi pagi hari saat hari pertama OKK, ospek untuk Universitas di Depok berlangsung. Jam 7 pagi kami semua harus berkumpul, tapi aku dan teman-temanku malah berjalan santai berlenggang kangkung bak putri solo yang memakai kebaya rapat jaman dahulu. Jadi pada intinya, kita jalannya santai aja padahal ada kakak senior berjakun yang jagain dan ternyata kita nggak boleh naik bikun(alat transport)ke balairung, tempat berkumpul dan acara berlangsung. Otomatis, kita mesti lari-larian dari teknik melewati ekonomi, melewati jalan diantara FIB dan FISIP. Ngos, ngos. Pemeriksaan. Cek list, pass... Jalan santai lagi sambil menikmati hawa sejuk yang agak menusuk kulit tapi pemandangan hijaunya daun menyegarkan sekali. Kami seperti menganggap ini adalah jalan santai, jalan pagi bagi para manula untuk menghindari osteoporosis. Sementara, senior-senior berjakun sudah ber

Lagu Penuntun Malam (yang Dingin) #4

Malem ini dingin banget dan saya kedinginan, bukan maksud ambigu yang lain loh, cuma emang tubuh menggigil. Mungkin karena hujan terus sepanjang hari, mungkin juga karena tubuh yang lagi nggak fit. Bukti kedinginan ( lebay ): Udah pake syal, selimut, sweater ... dan oh, kaos kaki juga. Tapi di malam yang dingin ini ditemani lagu-lagu yang sedikit banyak menghibur. You’ll Be in My Heart-Phill Collins ost. Tarzan (Disney) Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you from all around you I will be here Don't you cry For one so small, you seem so strong My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Why can't they understand the wa
