Landing the Big One

You've met that person.  The one who makes your heart flutter and puts a smile on your face when you see his or her name appear on your phone.  BUT, this "Big One" is hard to get.  The things that make the big one so desirable such as a great career, lots of friends, hobbies, and close family ties, also leaves little time for you or the development of a relationship.

What to do?  Pretend you're deep sea fishing and attempting to land a big fish.  It's not easy and takes a lot of skill and patience.  You have to be strong and focused.

The Big One has taken your bait and is hooked...at least temporarily.  The first thing to do is to give the Big One some slack.  The big one does not like to be chased and constantly hounded.  Giving a lot of freedom makes you look really cool and not that interested.  If you're not sure the Big One is still on the line, reel him in a little.  Send a flirty text or call just to say hi.

Pull the fish in and make it fight for a little while, then give it some slack.  When you do get to spend some time with the Big One, dress sexy and be sweet.  Show him or her what great company you are.  Then let the Big One loose to swim around for a while with no contact.  This constant reeling in and letting go will tire out a big fish and eventually make it easier to get into the boat.

That's your goal.  The longer you can play with the Big One, the stronger your relationship will become.  Good luck fishing!
