3 Huge Mistakes Women Make That Push Men Away

(This article contains affiliate links. However, I never recommend anything to Hack Spirit readers that I haven’t used personally and found valuable).

So you met a man and everything was going great between the two of you. Or so you thought.

Then, quick as lightning, he was out the door.

When it comes to relationships, women and men have unique perspectives. From first date etiquette to when to sleep with their partner, the outlooks are diverse.

However, when a man pulls away from the woman he’s seeing it’s usually for a specific reason.

Here are three HUGE mistakes you may be making that push men away.

You’re clingy

If there’s one thing that’ll send any man running it’s a clingy woman. Sure, it’s nice to be affectionate and show him that he’s on your mind, but when you make him your be and end all, he’ll start to feel smothered.

When this happens he’ll try to regain his independence by pulling away.

What’s worse is when you make it known that you’re falling for him, too quickly. Since men are looking for fun in the beginning of a relationship, letting him know that you’re already planning your future together will scare him away.

Instead of showing your emotions too soon, it’s crucial that you remain calm, cool and collected.

Remember, if a man senses that a woman wants more from him and the relationship than he’s prepared to give, he will pull away.

You’re insecure

Studies have shown that 97% of women are unhappy with their bodies at least once a day.

However, when it comes to relationships showing your insecurities is never a good idea.

Sure, it’s nice to be comfortable enough to talk about your gym routine or the healthy eating kick you’re on with your man, but if you’re asking him “Do these jeans make me look fat” or nagging anytime an attractive woman talks to him, then you’re digging your own relationship grave.

The problem is that once your insecurities start to show there’s no going back. Instead of pushing him away with your self-doubts show him your happy-go-lucky side and he’ll be hooked.

A good tip to follow is to pretend that every date with your man is a first because there’s no way you’d let him see this side of you then.

You’re unhappy without him

Just because you’re happy when you’re with him it doesn’t mean that he isn’t catching on to your negativity when he’s not in the room. In fact, if he knows that he’s your sole source of happiness then it’s likely to push him away.

The problem here is this type of situation makes him feel pressured to keep you content, and that’s a huge responsibility for anyone!

Instead of relying on him to keep you smiling, make the most of your life. Do the things that you love. When you do, you’ll not only be making yourself happier, but it’ll improve the overall quality of your relationship too.

I have a question for you…

Are you frustrated with dating?

The I highly recommend you check out that video by relationship expert Amy North

I know that finding the right guy and building a relationship with him isn’t as easy as swiping left or right.

I’ve been in contact with countless woman who start dating someone only to encounter really serious red flags.

Or they’re stuck in a relationship that’s just not working for them.

No one wants to waste their time. We just want to find the person that we’re meant to be with. We all – both women and men – want to be in a deep passionate relationship.

But how do you find the right man for you and establish a happy, satisfying relationship with him?

Maybe you need to enlist the help of a professional relationship coach…

Introducing a breakthrough new book

I’ve reviewed a lot of dating books on Hack Spirit and a new one recently came to my attention – more on how that happened below. The Devotion System by Amy North (pictured above) is a welcome addition to the online world of relationship advice.

A professional relationship coach by trade, Ms. North offers up her own comprehensive advice on how to find, keep, and nurture a loving relationship to women everywhere.

This book can be helpful for any woman struggling to find and keep a quality man.

Now, I know what you may be thinking: Why am I (a guy) recommending a dating guide for women?

Well I actually have a personal connection to The Devotion System – a strong one.

The Devotion System helped me in a big way

I met my girlfriend 6 months ago (that’s us above). And she seemed to understand me from the get go. That, combined with her infectious personality, meant I was immediately hooked.

I’m still hooked. This is easily the best relationship I’ve been in, and touch wood, it’s going to be a long and happy one.

Soon after we started seeing each other my girlfriend confided in me that, before we met, she had been reading a lot about relationships and male psychology. And that one guide in particular had completely changed her approach to dating.

It was The Devotion System by Amy North.

My girlfriend says that The Devotion System resonated with her more than any other book. And that she wouldn’t have had the confidence to date and build a meaningful relationship with me without it.

As I write a lot about relationships on Hack Spirit, I knew I had to check it out. My girlfriend is armed with a pretty good bulls**t  detector, so if she found any book to be genuinely helpful, I want to find out more about it.

I decided to read The Devotion System from cover to cover and write my own honest, unbiased review of it. You can read my review here.

Now I know why my girlfriend spoke so highly of The Devotion System.

Amy North is smart, insightful and straightforward, she genuinely cares about her clients, and tells it exactly how it is. This was clear from the very start of the book.

Add to that actionable psychology and science-based tips on texting, flirting, reading him, seducing him, satisfying him and more, and you have a book that will be incredibly useful to its owner.

The Devotion System worked for my girlfriend. And I have no doubt it can work for you too.

If you’re frustrated by continuously meeting disappointing men or by your inability to build a relationship when a good one comes along, then this book is a must-read.
