Dear Locke,
I need serious help RIGHT NOW! this girl and I have been dating for about 5 months now, and I've never been in a single relationship for this long. My whole player attitude crumbles in front of her and I don't even keep any back ups now. I'm so serious with her that I plan to marry her after college.
Well, its been like two week that she's been hammered with work load and her busy daily schedules that she barely has time to see me. And let me point out that past two weeks, we've only had had sex for two days! That iS NOT ME! A guy has his own needs. Anyway, so whenever I see her, I keep feeding her my lines, trying to seduce her- she brushes them off by saying she's tired and is stressed out. I thought of a plan and gave her a seductive body massage, and that is what took to get her into bed for the second time. I'm really tired of her stressing out and this dull relationship. And now she's stressing out too, saying stuffs like "its not fair for you, leave me, I'd understand (reverse psychology crap)" and things like, "how its about the quality of time that we spend, not quantity" and all that bullshit. But no doubt I still love this girl.
Should I keep going with this relationship or what should I do? (the PUA thing would be "fuck this, life is too short for just one girl", but I do think I would still marry her) How can I spice things up? How should I handle this?
Thanks!
Here is a little explanation of the sexual workings of a woman and a relationship:
Quote:
It is really easy for men to "get in the mood." Give us physical or visual stimulation and BAM we're ready.
However, a woman is logic and emotion based. The woman's mind controls her sexual arousal and stimulation...believe it or not. Throughout the day, everything that happens is going to weigh on her mind. If she becomes really busy or sidetracked, it is easy for her to not be able to keep her mind focused on the active sexual advances at hand.
Stressor's could be anything. It could be with the relationship, it could be with her day, it could be about you. The woman's mind controls her libido and sex drive. If the mind is not in it, then she won't be in it.
Some things you could do:
Try initiating foreplay in the beginning of the day. If you put sex on her mind, then sex will be on her mind. Simple Wink Then all you have to do is keep it there.
Ask yourself what her favorite intimate things to do are? Maybe intimacy for her is more about kissing than about sex? Or maybe it is more about holding hands in public? Try different things to find out what boosts HER intimacy level. The higher the intimacy, the higher her buying temperature. I know women who get turned on by geeky jokes and talking. I've heard of others that their turn on's are thunderstorms. You see...their arousal is completely different. Maybe foreplay isn't what gets her going, but skinny dipping is?
Bring it up with her. Communicate. This IS one of those problems that is great to communicate about. The sexual health of a relationship has a lot of bearing on the relationship itself, and vice versa. When you bring it up don't be judgmental or point blame. As I stated above, emotions have a lot to do with a woman's libido. So....carefully find out if she still has emotional passion for you. If she does still find you physically and emotionally attractive, then you can move on and know that it is either a.) her mind and personal mental state or b.) you are not triggering her intimacy switches.
Now, if after all of that is tried and the problem is still reoccurring, then I would either point towards a psychological issue, a hormonal issue, or a relationship issue. You've already tried the address a relationship issue, so now there isn't much you can do but continue to try and communicate.
And as for what to do in future situations where your sexual advances are denied?
I know. It is tough. Just as women take things certain ways, in the bedroom...men can be very touchy! We can mis-interpret things easily.
I understand your frustration and it is normal to believe something is wrong. That isn't always the case though!
Don't make a big deal out of it when it happens. If she isn't in the mood, then she isn't in the mood. The more you push, the more frustrated and further from sexual arousal she will be. She will possibly even get annoyed at herself for not being in the mood. That has a potential snowball effect and damage sexual confidence--which then just ends up leading to even lower sex drive.
So don't push. Don't freeze out, and don't take it like it is LMR.
Change the topic and kiss her, compliment her, let her know she is important to you. because obviously, if you are seeking help for this, then she is! Just go about your business; whether it is to continue talking or to go to bed. If it begins to happen frequently, then revert back to my suggestions higher up - how to deal with it.
First off, I would like to just point out that your attitude, personality, and actions should all be congruent with WHO YOU ARE. There should be no "crumbling" and certainly no "backups." Look into working on solidifying your frame--because it shouldn't be a bunch of "fronts."
Onto your question:
If she is stressed out, the more you push, the less she will have the chance of becoming in the mood. And the less she is in "the mood," and the more you push, the more she will realize she isn't satisfying your needs. THIS will snowball and she will stress about that, then tadahhh, zero sex drive.
Just as emotions, everyone's libido has up's and downs. You love her. The real question is, is she returning that love to you? If you two truly want to be in a healthy relationship and she does care about you, then you have nothing to worry about. The sexual health doesn't ALWAYS reflect relationship status. It sounds to me like she just has a lot going on right now so her libido is down. SUPPORT her. Give her help if she needs it, and just be there to reinforce her. Make sure that she knows you are still sexually attracted to her too, just dont cross the line of trying to get her to have sex (until she is ready).
Now, there is nothing wrong if you don't want to do that either. If you love her, but know you wont be able to stay faithful, or be in a relationship with someone that gets stressed that easily? Then get out of the relationship. The worst thing you can do is drag it along and hide your true feelings. That is lying and hurtful.
So you decide: do you want to be with her or not? If so, now you know what to do.
and p.s.:
I would consider myself someone who studies Pick-Up. I've been in my relationship for almost 11months. So to rearrange your misunderstanding: the "PUA mentality" is not 'life is too short to have only one woman.' It is about being with the women you want to be with; whether it is one or twenty of them.
