—She appeals to the man’s yearning for mastery (which every man has) by giving him the opportunity to do most of the talking. She follows his words with genuine interest and tries to fall in with whatever mood he is in. And she enthusiastically accepts his ideas about places to go on dates and things to do. Definitely, she minimizes any mistakes that he may make, blames him for nothing and keeps her complaints to herself, or lets them come out only as friendly, constructive suggestions.
—She makes herself physically appealing.
—She does not discuss any poor physical health she may have, nor does she discuss any bad breaks or her possible knack for always getting into trouble.
—She lets him get the impression that other men are interested in her, but makes it plain that they do not interest her nearly as much as this particular man.
—She does not run down other girls.
—She makes it clear that she is sure he must be popular, and very successful in his work.
—She talks casually about her married friends and gets across the idea that they are terribly glad they married.
—She strives to make every occasion with this man an enjoyable one.
—Finally she is not afraid to let him know that she likes him and that his feelings toward her matter a great deal.
In short, the girl constantly sets up conditioning situations which make the man feel good inside for having been with her. Soon he’ll start thinking that it would be nice to have that good feeling inside for the rest of his life. That is the mood in which proposals germinate.
