Female Button 2: He may forget to call, come in late, or pull back in some way.

Men are used to having the upper hand. When a man becomes a little standoffish, he’s watching to see how persistent you’ll become. Just like women play hard to get, men do the same. If he gets any inkling that you’re willing to follow him around like a puppy, his next move may be to see if you’ll “work for it” like a puppy jumping for a biscuit. (You have to let him know that your middle name ain’t Sparky.)

That said, he should feel desired. He should feel valued, appreciated, and adored. Just not after he behaves badly; otherwise you’ll create a monster.

A perfect example is Thomas, who was used to getting a reaction from Faith after staying out late drinking with the boys. Faith asked him numerous times to call when he was out late. He didn’t. This went on for a year. One Friday night he tiptoed in at 4:00 AM, went to the refrigerator, and poured a couple of beers down the sink so it would look like he had come home earlier. After staging the crime scene with the empty bottles, he crashed on the couch. When he awoke Saturday morning, Faith was gone. A girlfriend who is a flight attendant called Faith and asked her if she’d like to hop a flight to Hawaii for the weekend. Thomas didn’t know, and for the rest of the weekend he freaked out, panicked, and called her friends and family to locate Faith.

(Fast forward a day and a half.) Sunday night, Faith comes bouncing in with a tan, the smell of coconut oil, and a gorgeous lei around her neck. “Aloha!” Suddenly, there was a complete role reversal. “Why didn’t you call? I was worried sick!” Then came a lecture about being more considerate. Faith listened while munching on Hawaiian Mauna Loa nuts. Then she responded, “I don’t understand why you are giving me such a hard time. Didn’t I bring you back some nuts? Besides, if you total up the hours you’ve stayed out late drinking in the past year, it wouldn’t even be a fraction of the hours I was gone.” Then she pranced upstairs to unpack. Thomas never forgot to call Faith again. He went out half as often, came in at a decent hour, and even bought her a fancy cell phone so they could always reach each other.

RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLE 45

When a man doesn’t call, a bunch of scenarios will typically run through a woman’s mind. Similarly, his imagination will run wild when he doesn’t hear from you.

If you can’t afford a trip to Hawaii and don’t know any flight attendants, there is another, far less expensive alternative to deal with the “partner rolls in just before dawn” dilemma. There is a new invention that is sold at Home Depot or any hardware store commonly referred to as a dead bolt. (When used once in very cold temperatures, it has a 99 percent effectiveness rate.
