<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Ladies Man</h1> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://media.istockphoto.com/id/2222512386/photo/cheating-affair-in-a-bad-marriage-between-man-and-woman.jpg?s=612x612&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=20PJxhvIRVRWAvB_70JVpM53Zi6s-hLAcJtQLtmm0XM=" alt="" width="800" /></p> <p>Okay, I admit, blogging at <a href="https://www.loveawake.com">Loveawake.com</a> is helping me in the ladies department. Happy now? There, I admitted it, even after I once tried to deny it.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s weird for me to admit that my life has changed since I started this blog, but it&rsquo;s time for me to face the facts. My life has changed since I started the blog, and I sometimes wonder if that&rsquo;s a good thing or a bad thing.</p> <p>Don&rsquo;t get me wrong, I roll with the changes. All the attention I get from the opposite sex largely because of this blog is flattering, humbling even. For instance, just the other day a reader had the gumption to invite me to a Pittsburgh Steelers game. Now who is to say such a moment wouldn&rsquo;t have happened without the blog? I don&rsquo;t know, but I do know no woman ever invited me to a Pittsburgh Steelers game before I had the blog.</p> <h2>On Unfamiliar Attention</h2> <p>It has gotten to the point now where at least once a week, some girl I have never met before is <a href="https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Slovakia-dating-service.html?gender=female&amp;page=4">reaching out to me online</a> and asking if we can meet up. Sometimes they say they want to talk about writing and blogging, which is something I always take seriously. Others tell me they&rsquo;re a fan and would just like to say hello. A few have told me they want to take me out on a date.</p> <p>All of it is cool with me and I would be lying if I said this isn&rsquo;t a part of the dream. There could be a thousand reasons why a woman likes me or is drawn to me, but I can&rsquo;t think of one more flattering than my writing. So none of this post is meant to be some diatribe about how it sucks all these women want me because I&rsquo;m a good writer. Being wanted for even the most trivial things is sometimes a good feeling.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;ve ever found yourself attracting attention because of who you are or what you create, check out <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2025/09/17/how-to-choose-the-right-furniture-to-create-a-romantic-welcoming-living-space/" rel="dofollow">this article on creating romantic, welcoming spaces</a> &mdash; a reminder that atmosphere and confidence go hand in hand.</p> <h2>Trying to Stay Grounded</h2> <p>What this really about is my ability to reign it all in and control it to some degree. I didn&rsquo;t grow up having a way with women, which is probably why a part of me still feels like a kid whenever a girl I like likes me back. The first girl I ever liked, didn&rsquo;t like me back, so I came into the game in second grade with a losing record.</p> <p>From that point on, getting women was always an uphill battle or at least it felt like one. Sure there were times where I got the girl I wanted, but certainly not every girl, and even more certainly, I never really felt like I could just stand somewhere, not do a thing, and let women come up to me. I am friends with guys who have that ability, and trust me, there&rsquo;s a huge difference between them and I.</p> <h2>Becoming the &ldquo;Ladies Man&rdquo;</h2> <p>But things are different these days, and though they were becoming different even before I started the blog, they&rsquo;re really different now. So much so, it&rsquo;s slightly disconcerting that I don&rsquo;t know what to do with the little bit of attention I have received because it&rsquo;s different from what it used to be. Before I had the blog, the attention I received from the opposite sex felt like something I had to work for, now I feel like it&rsquo;s a per diem for the work I do, if that makes any sense.</p> <p>In a way, I feel like some sort of ladies man. When I started this blog it was to write about things I already experienced, not to get more experiences to write about. As I have always said, my life controls the blog, the blog does not control my life. But the blog is definitely having an impact on my life, and so now it&rsquo;s on me to make sure I channel the impact in a way that isn&rsquo;t negative. The question is, how do I do it?</p> <p>For a perspective on keeping relationships balanced when things shift, <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2025/09/18/6-money-talks-couples-need-before-moving-in/" rel="dofollow">this article on the talks couples need before moving in</a> is a thoughtful read. It&rsquo;s not about money &mdash; it&rsquo;s about communication and awareness.</p> <h2>Keeping Perspective</h2> <p>Well, that&rsquo;s easy. I like a girl who doesn&rsquo;t like me back or maybe she does like me back, but not nearly as much as her.</p> <p>I used to always want the girls who wanted me. It was just easier that way. But now <a href="https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Poland-dating-service.html?gender=female&amp;page=4">I am starting to meet more than one girl</a> who wants me (and when I say more than one, I mean two, maybe three). Maybe it&rsquo;s more, I don&rsquo;t know. Like I said, I only get one request a week to be taken out or one compliment a week so it&rsquo;s not like I have women asking me to sign their breast. Although that would be awesome! Wouldn&rsquo;t it? I mean, I can just see a girl now coming up to me and pulling down the collar of her shirt and&hellip;sorry, I digress.</p> <p>Where was I? Oh yeah, the attention I receive and how it has me feeling like some sort of ladies man.</p> <p>I mean, yeah, I&rsquo;ll take it, but not to my head. A lot of women tell me I get a lot of women, and honestly, I don&rsquo;t know what the number is to qualify such a statement. Is it more than one? If so, then sure, I get a lot of women. And these days, I&rsquo;m getting more women than ever, but I take it all in stride. Women who like me after reading my blog are no different than women who like me after meeting me in some social setting. I don&rsquo;t differentiate between the two because even though I can appreciate a girl who likes me, this new ladies man, is more concerned with the girls I like.</p> <p>For anyone navigating new attention in dating, <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2025/09/17/from-international-dating-sites-to-marriage-a-practical-guide-for-2025/" rel="dofollow">Loveawake&rsquo;s guide on transitioning from dating to lasting relationships</a> gives insight into managing modern romantic dynamics.</p>
