1.
 Risking your love life on your "man's potential".
 Do you want your boyfriend to behave differently? Do you constantly make excuses for his behavior and stay with him even when he abuses you? Unfortunately, women quite often choose a partner based upon powerful gut feelings or instincts.
 They confuse a strong attraction to a man with having a meaningful connection.
 Deep down these women believe that if they try hard enough, they can change their guy.
 This rarely if ever happens.
Women who do this are doomed to end up in a failed relationship with the "wrong" guy.
 Sound familiar? Ladies, even though you might think your boyfriend has lots of potential, he is not going to change no matter what you do! Stop wasting your time and dump him now!  2.
 You believe you understand men and their reasoning.
 Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
 Believe it and accept it!  Men are much different than women in their reasoning and communication.
 Because men are basically visual and women depend upon their emotional awareness and intuition, it's important that you understand that men often don't comprehend non-verbal communication as well as women do.
 So even though you might be sending numerous "I find you attractive" signals to him, don't expect him to understand or respond in the way you want him to.
 However, if you use your body language and communication correctly, he will feel a powerful sexual attraction to you.
  This is a learned trait.
3.
 Pretending to be someone you're not.
 In their desire to please a man, women frequently do things to grab a man's intention or to get him to like her.
 Many women mistakenly believe that if they become the kind of woman that a man wants her to be, he will magically see what an attractive woman she is and desire her.
 Nothing could be further from the truth! The kind of men that women truly desire are never attracted to women who kiss up to them or make weak plays for their affection.
 Ladies you don't have to play "easy to get" to hold a man's attention, and you certainly don't have to act as if he's "God's gift to women" either.
 You'll never find your way into his heart through sex or insincere flattery.
 So it's important that you be true to yourself.
 If he doesn't find the real you attractive, then that's his loss and not yours! 4.
 Sharing your feelings too early.
 Handsome, single, and intelligent men receive a lot of attention from women.
 They have usually also dated many women.
 And the one thing that turns them off more than anything is a woman who starts telling him how much she really likes him after only 1 or 2 dates.
 This simply tells a man that she immediately wants to rush into a relationship.
 This is not how you attract and keep a man.
 So don't do it! Relax and take it slowly with the sharing of your feelings.
  Let the relationship develop first.
5.
 Expecting a relationship to make you happy.
 Many women mistakenly believe that having a man in their life will make them feel happy and fulfilled.
 Sure there are instances and relationships where this can occur, but they are the exceptions rather than the rule.
 If a woman tells a man she's looking for someone to take care of her, fulfill her, or make her complete, it has a negative impact upon the man.
 And men that are looking for these types of women are usually the macho controlling type or have "Mother" issues.
 I think it's important that couples help fulfill each other.
 They should complement and nurture each other through the growth of their relationship.
 As a woman it's vital that you get your man interested and involved in your life, and that you are interested and involved in his life also.
 Thus you will both be motivated to bring happiness and fulfillment into your partner's life as well as your own.
