How do I stop being taken for granted and seen for who I am?

A female India age 36-40, *SMERALDA4 writes:

I'm a 23 year old female. I've been seeing a friend and occasionaly we makeout. But I feel he's started taking me for granted. I know I'm fulfiling some of his basic urges but I'm an attractive, intelligent girl (at the risk of sounding cocky). How can I get him to realise that once again and start appreciating me more without having to completely stop making out? How do I turn from miss convenient to the 'goddess' in his eyes?

LampHead agony auntIf you stop giving him what he wants, he will beg for more. Don't stop completely, beg for more. Lots of girls do it, to keep the interest and stop boys just thinking its normal. Make it hard for him to get a kiss, but let him know your still willing, and maybe want more.

Does that make sense?

Cut him off cold turkey. Men love a challenge. when he realizes he needs to work for you, he should rise to the occasion. Put that brain and those good looks to use! Be coy and flirty to show him you do have interest, but let him know he needs to man up if he wants to keep kissing you.

TasteofIndia agony auntDefinitely by pulling away. Sorry, I know you didn't want to hear that, but seriously IT WORKS. My boyfriend is looking over my shoulder and says that there is NO BETTER WAY!! He says that as horrible as it sounds, human nature is to want what you can't have. This will also mean, if he does pursue you, that he actually does have feelings for you and doesn't just think of you as "Miss Convenient".

Goddesses are women of great power and beauty. Goddesses are always the chased and never the chaser. Let him chase you for awhile.

Good luck!

He's your friend. What else do you expect from 'a friend'? If you want him to take you more seriously, you should try to get into a more serious relationship with him.
