Many single women often find themselves looking at their date and wondering how to make him fall in love. They read magazine articles, solicit friends for advice, and even engage in trial and error, trying one thing one minute and moving on to another the next.

But, when you get down to trying to get down, all you really need to know in order to learn how to make him fall in love doesn’t really involve what to do; rather, it’s knowing what not to do.

Some things are obvious: don’t boil his pet rabbit; don’t call his mother and talk to her about your dating life (or lack thereof); and don’t accuse him of sleeping with the barrister at the local coffee shop simply because he smiled at her.

Still, some things might not be quite as obvious (or certifiably — as all the kids are saying — cray-cray). Some errors that you’re committing may be errors you don’t even realize are bad.

So, as you learn how to make him fall in love, remember to refrain from doing the following four deadly sins of seduction.

Here are the 4 deadly sins of seduction:

1. Communicating constantly

As pretty much anyone who knows anything about relationships will tell you, communication — when it comes to relationships — is key. However, communicating doesn’t need to be constant, at least not in the form of text messages and phone calls.

Contacting him constantly — hi, just wanted to see what you’re up to; hey, just wanted to make sure you got my message; hi again, my phone’s acting funny — just making sure you didn’t call! — shows him that you’re needy. And guys tend to run away from Stage Five Clingers as quickly as they can.
