How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/first move

Question
Hello. I met a guy at my college who I am interested in. We talked in person almost everyday during the semester. I sent a friend request on facebook and he has accepted it. I decided for now not to do anything more than that. I do want to date this man but do not want to be pushy or come off as desperate. What to do?

Answer
Michelle,

I think you've made the right decision not to be pushy. Watch what he posts on Facebook - you can get to know him that way. Then post things that might make you seem interesting to him. If he likes certain games that you would be willing to play, invite him to play with you. If he likes movies or something you like, discuss it with him. Getting to know each other better is the first step. I know people who met and got married on Facebook, so you never know.

It might not work out - you could find he's not the right guy for you, but you're on the right track so far. Good luck!

Expertise

I've been answering questions online for over a decade & have received good ratings. I've also helped people in many other situations - in person and in other ways online. Looking for a lifelong, loving relationship? I`ve been with the same partner for 30+ years and it's not just a coincidence. I've worked at it and the first part was to find the right man for me. I hope I can help you do the same.

Experience

My own marriage has worked out great, though it has taken work, I've learned a lot and continue to learn. I realize, though, that everyone is different and so is each relationship, so I enjoy observing others. I've also read a lot about the subject and know many couples - some who have made poor partner decisions and others who've maintained a lifelong relationship of love.

Education/Credentials
I am educated as a teacher and primarily work with young people, many who are already attracted to the opposite sex at a young age, but their families often are poor role-models for having a life-long relationship.
