How to Make Your Summer Romance Last Through Your New Year's Kiss

by

Most relationship experts agree that the time you're most likely to get dumped is around the three-month mark - that's about the time the new-person thrill starts to wear off. (Sort of like that new car smell, or the elastic on a tube top.) That means, if your relationship started hot and heavy with the long days of summer, you've got to put a plan into action quick if you want to keep things steamy through the cold winter ahead. Below are some tips to turn your summer fling into the real thing:

Keep your summer fling red hot.
Want to crank up the intensity level on your romance? Wear something red when you go on a date. Color experts say red is the most stimulating of al the colors. Not only will wearing red will rev up your date's interest and arousal level, it's a rousing color that provokes a lot (a whole lot) of attention. Wear red, and every eye in the room will be n you. And nothing makes a guy sit up and pay attention l ike a whole bunch of other guys sitting up and paying attention.

A hot ticket.
Ease your relationship into the fall by making solid plans for October for a football game, a concert, or any event where you'll have to buy tickets in advance. (Events including sports, music or fried stuff on a stick are usually a safe bet...) The bonus here - you'll make the plans in summer while you're still a couple, and having concrete (and pre-paid) plans in the near future will keep the relationship from just drifting away like an abandoned water ski.

Sweet romance.
Studies show that men associate the scents of vanilla and cinnamon with love, so fortify your position in his mind by wearing a perfume with a hint of these scents. Other options, burn cinnamon or vanilla-scented candles when you're together, or toss some ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls in the oven for a cozy Sunday brunch. Cinnamon is the perfect scent to bring a summer romance into the fall because it's so prevalent in autumn -- think spiced apples and pumpkin pie. Be his cinnamon girl (or vanilla vixen) now, and by Thanksgiving, he won't be able to get you off his mind.

Don't turn up the heat on your summer flame.
Don't panic just because the summer is ending, and start putting the pressure on your guy for a commitment. Part of the appeal of a summer relationship is the relaxed attitude, so if you start turning up the heat the minute autumn hits, the weather won't be the only thing that chills. The best strategy is to enjoy what you have now without focusing too much on the future. Think of your summer romance like you would a vacation -- you're not going to enjoy basking on the beach marinating your liver in Mai Tais if your entire focus is on getting back to work. The same is true of summer flings. Relax, and savor every single moment. If you're lucky you'll get an extended love vacation.

Look for an Indian Summer.
Will the summer thrill burn strong after Labor Day? Check his body language for signs he wants to stay together. Is he using language, gestures or body positions that mirror yours? Is his heart (his chest) facing yours front-on? Does he lean in a little when he talks to you? Is he dropping hints about the future? (Even next month counts as the future at this point...) These are strong signals he's feeling the same way you are, and a good indicator your summer love could be endless love.

"I can REALLY tell a difference. When we took my "after" photos this summer, I was at 25% body fat (from 35% body fat in February), and I thought that I was doing great then! Now I'm at 18 1/2% body fat and I have to go shopping again because the NEW THIN clothes that I got are hanging on me! My legs have never looked so good. I no longer have that fat around my knees and for the first time ever I can see muscle tone. I was travelling recently and used a fitness center with mirrors. I was very surprised to see my legs from all angles. They looked great and they were mine!! Thank you!"

Seduction Genie Book Cover

What is it about the dating scene that you find so hard? Do you wish you were more attractive? Do you wish you could get more attention? Perhaps there is a particular man that you would like to get to know better... Do you want to break the cycle of bad relationships that you have had and get some answers to what you have been doing wrong? Are you getting back into the dating game and feel like all the rules have changed? Are you tired of being alone?

Seduction Genie Dispels ALL of the Myths About Relationships and Romance

Before you throw yourself back into the world of dating, there are a few long-held beliefs and theories that you are probably carrying that you need to abandon. After all, why jeopardize your chances before you have already started? Seduction Genie strips all your common misconceptions and misguided beliefs as the first step on the seduction journey.

It's all about changing your perceptions and beliefs. The new rules of dating are a reflection of the times we live in, and are much more flexible than they were twenty years ago.

Seduction Genie dispels myths such as:

  • Romance
  • "The One"
  • The "Perfect" man
  • Being "Complete"
  • Changing
  • Feelings
  • Men and sex

Once you have shrugged off your old baggage of dating mistakes and disasters, you will be ready to move on, confident that you no longer need to repeat the dating mistakes that have cost you and others so dearly in the past.

You want two things:

  • You want to identify what type of person your ideal man is. This is harder than it sounds. Most people who have had a string of bad relationships never actually get around to sitting down and assessing what qualities they are really looking for in a man, and as a result their dating success is somewhat haphazard. What you need to have is a clear idea of the type of man you want, so that you have something to aim for.

  • Then you want to know what you need to do to attract this man and keep his attention. You need to develop techniques and tips to build your confidence in yourself as well as dealing with first date issues and jitters, flirting techniques that are classy, not brassy, and tips on how to really seduce your man and develop the type of relationship that is both fulfilling and passionate.

Detailed 10 Point Section on Physical Attraction and How You Can Make It Work For You

I know THE biggest factor in dating and seduction is the ability to look and feel attractive. It is this that draws a man's attention to you, and it's what keeps a man interested. But attractiveness doesn't always have to be about appearance. What I mean is that attractiveness doesn't just come from the outside. Its an internal thing too... and Seduction Genie takes you in hand and shows you how you can transform yourself into a magnetic and attractive woman... the kind of woman that men love to be around!

Yes, beauty matters, but one thing you need to consider is that women often place far higher standards on themselves than men do. They compare themselves to other women and catwalk models rather than considering what guys REALLY WANT.

Seduction Genie takes you through

  • what makes you attractive,
  • the basics of self care that even your man will notice,
  • some useful hints when choosing what to wear,
  • how to have a winning attitude,
  • how to love your body,
  • what to do if you are overweight
  • and more appearance tips to add that little extra to your seduction repertoire

I promise, once you have read this section and applied just a few of the tips and suggestions, you are going to be amazed at how it changes your chances of meeting men! And that's just the start!

  • You don't have to have the figure of a swimsuit model.
  • You don't have to have the looks of a hollywood superstar.
  • You don't have to dress in a way that reveals everything and makes you look cheap.

But...

  • You can accentuate your best features rather than concentrating on covering up your flaws.
  • You can overcome shyness and have the confidence of a supermodel, and draw people in with your charm and femininity.
  • You can become a sex siren by dressing in a way that is both classy and comfortable.

The Two Biggest Secrets to Attracting ANY Man... and You Already Have IT!

There are TWO secrets to attracting any man, and you already have these skills! You need to know WHAT MEN WANT. Once you have read about what men really want, there are two simple things that are going to help you get your man.

Picture this: It's a year from today (or a lot sooner), and you are no longer alone. You have managed to turn around your previous pattern of bad or unfulfilling relationships and have immersed yourself in all the knowledge you need to make it in the new dating scene. You applied the many techniques and suggestions and have had some really fantastic dates and met some stunning men. Best of all, you are in a relationship now with a man who truly makes you happy and fulfilled.
