So, you want to be seen as “non needy”? Consider the following rules:

1- Texting: If you text a girl twice, and she doesn’t text you back, stop texting her. It makes you look like a pathetic loser with no other options that is entirely fixated solely on her. Basic economics …

2- Voicemails: Don’t leave voicemails unless it’s something extremely urgent or important. She will see you called, and she will call you back. In this day and age, there are so many ways to get in touch. The voicemail conveys a sense of neediness. Take the classic scene from movie Swingers where Jon Favreau’s character “Mikey” meets a girl at a club, calls her immediately after he get’s home, and leaves several consecutive voicemails, implying desperation and complete neediness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU3Pk6oDNRU

3- Stay focused: Never compromise the success of your career for someone you’re dating. You’ve worked hard to get where you are today, and nobody should ever hold you back from that. A good partner will understand that and will push you to do the best you can.

3a- same goes for compromising your education…

3b- and neglecting your friends…

3c- and forgetting about your family …
