Why is Intimacy so hard to achieve for singles, separated or divorced people?
Here are 5 tips I recommend to individuals and couples for Staying in Love, Not Just Falling in love!:
- Make friends with your fears as finding Love is letting go of fear;
- Desensitize YOURSELF to rejection as men are more sensitive to rejection then women;
- Reach out to him if he retreats as disconnection is a man’s way of fear when he IS into you;
- He acts the opposite of how he really feels so YOU need to make the first move;
- Do not predict the outcome, just stay in the moment.
Use Dr. Bonnie’s tried and true Smart Heart Skills and Dialogue (she used these in her courtship) For an example, “We had such a great time last time. I just received two tickets to the Yankee game, wanna come?” DO NOT MENTION his ghosting you!!
These 5 things will help to ignite your romance and help you to stay in love! Practice! Practice!
