Act like a cat - don't do everything she wants, but occasionally turn on the charm.

If she likes you, she likes you.

Really, if I like a guy there is basically nothing he has to do to 'keep me interested' because simply the act of being around him keeps me interested.

Yes, as Jet alludes, remember that she wants sex and love as much as you do. She is already highly motivated by biology .

If you have that down she's going nowhere...

Also, have a life beyond her...so that you're not always around.

not true...I've turned girls from all over me to "run away from him as fast as you can" in less than 24 hours.

seriously....she literally sprinted away at the sight of me...before, though, we, uhh, went places....

Keep learning new things and improving yourself.

Suggest things you can learn together.

Be open to her suggestions.

Stay in shape.

Don't take her for granted.

Travel with her.

Surprise her once in a while. It doesn't have to be anything big, but a little spontaneity goes a long way. A single flower, an unexpected kiss, a drive somewhere beautiful where you don't tell her where you're going, a compliment when she least expects it.

And yeah, keep her satisfied in bed.

All of which I would tell a woman to do for a man, too.

I don't think it's all-or-none in the sense that she's interested in you or has decided not to touch you with a 10-foot pole right off the bat. That said, there isn't a whole lot of leeway early in the process of getting to know each other better. Early on, you'll be on a short leash as she doesn't know you that well and hasn't invested much in your relationship.

I don't think it's a matter of doing things for the purpose of maintaining a woman's interest. After you have been together for an initial period (say a few months), then you will become a larger part of each others' lives. At that stage, qualities like appearance will matter less and factors like how well you listen, how you treat her during difficult times, how much you compromise, etc will be more important.

The best advice is to present the best package possible. On the personal side, maintain your appearance, dress well, do as well as you can in your career. In terms of your interaction with women, be a good listener, be responsive to her needs and willing to compromise and do what you can to enjoy your time together. The best advice I ever heard was that the most important factor in attracting a woman is 'the experience that she has when she's with you and the emotions that experiences conjures up inside of her' (close to a direct quote). The experience has many components, so there's no formula for it.

60% is what you are, 40% is what you are NOT,

women arent stupid, they pick up on the little things- they do like a stable man, a good provider, good manners, and respect them.. be adventurous,

the good news for the female socially challenged is- most woman get burnt by men,,,so they start recognizing the fire
and will appreciate a good man
