Put effort into your appearance
Looks aren't everything and let's face it — a lot of guys we know think as long as something isn't covered in stains it can be worn to almost any event, but guys do enjoy feeling like you've made an effort for them. We're not suggesting you wear a full face of makeup at all times, but if after the fourth date you're already answering the door in sweatpants, you might want to rethink your strategy for keeping your new guy interested. There's no need for cocktail dresses and stilettos, but do opt for something polished and pulled together.
Don't over-accomodate.
Sometimes in a relationship, a woman can become too accommodating. Men get into relationships with a very clear picture of what a lifetime partner looks like, and this is often in stark contrast to whom he may have dated casually. Women work to become the person their partner wants them to be, and in doing so, they lose themselves. One day, their man realizes this is what he asked for but he isn't sure it's what he really wants. Maintain a healthy sense of self in your relationship.
Be supportive
The most recent Survey indicated that a sense of caring and nurturing was the second most important trait for men deciding if a woman was relationship material. We're not suggesting you become his mother, start cleaning up after him or doing his grocery shopping, but being there when he needs support or listening when he needs someone to talk to is important when building a bond with someone new and letting them know you want to be a larger part of their life.
Be willing to initiate sex.
Men equate sex with desirability. Help your man to feel desired by expressing your love in a physical way.
Have a sense of humor
Being able to make a guy laugh and being able to laugh with him are very important ingredients for keeping a guy interested. Laughter is a bonding experience and if you can make him smile with your clever wit, deadpan delivery or sassy sarcasm, he's likely to stick around. Not to mention that people who have a good sense of humor usually don't take themselves too seriously, which for a lot of guys can be a huge turn-off. So don't be afraid to show your funny side — making him laugh will make him want to keep spending time with you.
Let him have time to himself.
Some men cheat because they begin to feel hemmed in by the relationship. Engaging in an affair can provide them the sense of freedom they lose in a relationship. Allow your man time for himself without you. Don't try to monopolize all your guy's time. Be open to time apart for him to spend with friends, pursue hobbies, etc., so he does not feel he has no freedom.
Learn his love language.
Learn your man's love language and speak it to him regularly. He will know he is loved and remain true to you.
Be aware of your emotions.
Whether or not we are aware of it, women are masters at using their emotions to communicate volumes without speaking any words. We communicate anger, rage, sadness and disappointment that is received by our partners.Instead of taking that as a cue to do something different, some men begin to look for another partner who idolizes them the way you used to. Don't forget, your man wants to know he lights you up, and not that he is constantly disappointing you.
Have other things to do
Having your own interests and hobbies is another important aspect of keeping guys attracted to you. Doing your own thing means you won't be instantly dependent on him and wanting to hang out 24/7 (which can seem clingy), plus when you do see him, you'll have more to talk about. Devoting all of your attention to the guy you like may seem like a good idea, but being too available too soon can make you seem desperate, which can be a huge turn-off to some guys. "I won't date a girl who doesn't have any interests outside just hanging out with me," says a 34-year-old financial planner we spoke with about what keeps him interested. "I just think it's really cool when a girl is passionate about something.”
Give him massages! After a long hard day at work and stress of after-work traffic, men love to be given a nice body, back, or foot massage. If you have the time and energy, throw in a pedicure and manicure. You may even get the same treatment in return, especially if you ask for it! A guy who won't give you a nice long massage after you've given one to him doesn't deserve to have you dote on him.
