This article will help shed some light on some skills and qualities that you could develop or allow to come out more. Often times men will hide certain qualities because they think showing too much emotion will not seem cool or masculine.

In fact the opposite is true. The more masculine and strong you are and become the more emotion you can show and share.

Unloading too much information and details from your life, too soon can scare away your dates because it makes you seem needy. Also, these are things that someone should first earn the right to discover about you over time.

Also, complimenting or buying presents too soon without any occasion can also give your dates the wrong impression. On one level it can be insulting that you are trying to buy their time and on another level it shows that you are so desperate to have them in your life that you are willing to shower them with gifts.

Gifts are much more appreciated when the person feels they have earned them.

Instead I recommend that being with you be the ultimate gift. Shower your dates with attention and affection.

Now if you are too secretive and refuse to reveal anything about yourself then your dates will become suspicious.

So there is a healthy balance : Masculine Strength together with revealing just enough so that people want to discover more about you. So the stronger you are and the more comfortable you are, the more emotion you can show without seeming wimpy or weak.

As you read this consider where you fit on this scale: revealing too much, too soon and seeming wimpy and needy. Or not revealing enough so even though you are mysterious and attractive, your dates never trust you enough to really get close.

Strive for a healthy balance where you can be strong and masculine, while revealing bits and pieces of yourself so that your dates want to know more about you. They grow more and more curious while trusting you more because you make them earn these gifts of what you reveal.

You also want a good balance between being taken serious and being trusted and being fun and exciting.

Consider what makes you strong and masculine and how to improve those traits, characteristics and qualities. Then consider revealing certain information about yourself and allow your dates to grow more curious about you. You are giving them a gift of becoming more attracted to you and investing in this exploration and they can then feel more trust and willingness to share things with you, too.

I use and teach techniques such as: playful teasing, baiting and connecting.

So every interaction and conversation helps to increase any combination of rapport, comfort, trust, attraction and connection.

Details that show that you and your date have things in common can make you feel more comfortable with each other and you can go back to these topics and connect on a deeper level.

Playfully teasing them gets them laughing, smiling and giggling and feeling powerful emotions that they learn to associate with you and being with you.

Baiting allows them to grow more and more curious and feel they have invested more time and energy into getting to know you more. They will most likely also feel like sharing more about themselves which will increase trust and attraction.

So you show that you are strong and comfortable enough to reveal certain things about yourself and certain emotions and feelings. You want to get to know her better, yet you do not need her.

A strong Man who reveals just enough about himself can be incredibly attractive to most women and the same techniques work well for Women, too. So a weak, needy man needs to be careful with how much emotion he shows and how often he calls or texts or e-mails.

While a strong Man who learns how to playfully tease, bait and connect can use cute and romantic nick names, give their dates stuffed animals and use lots of emoticons in text messages and e-mails and still seem strong, fun, charismatic and adventurous!
