3 Ways You Can Invite a Hero into Your Life, Starting Today

I’d like to excerpt a portion of the article I read, that for me. Here it goes..

3 Ways You Can Invite a Hero into Your Life, Starting Today

1. Ask a guy for help.

Ask him for advice on buying a new computer. Ask him to listen to that weird rattling sound that’s started up in your car. Ask him to reach for something on the top shelf.

Then thank him warmly, with a great big smile of appreciation.

No, that doesn’t make you needy. It makes you a woman with space for a man in her life.

2. Take pleasure in male company.

Guys love women who appreciate men for just being men.

So what if his apartment is a shrine to sports? So what if he spends hours on his fantasy football team? So what if his idea of a clean shirt is the one with the fewest wrinkles?

He’s a guy. It’s okay. You don’t need him to be more like you, because you’ve got the feminine side of the gender equation covered.

3. Let him earn your respect.

Superheroes love challenges. They don’t want to be given a gold medal just for showing up. They don’t want your love handed to them on a plate. They want to earn it.

There’s one thing they crave even more than a woman’s eternal enduring love: A challenge.

So give him opportunities to prove himself. You don’t have to do the work of winning him over.

Sit back, relax, and allow him the pleasure of winning your admiration.
