Is It Worth Intentionally Making a Woman Fall in Love with You?

I frequently contemplate the complex mechanics of human connection and how feelings actually operate between people. Falling in love is a powerful force; it can lift you to the dizzying heights of happiness or throw you into an abyss of suffering. Many people actively seek ways to spark this feeling in someone else, especially in a woman. But are all these methods equally honest? And are they genuinely worth using? Let's figure this out together by looking at the real mechanisms behind strong emotional attachment. I will share my thoughts based on personal observations and experience, as this helps to better understand both yourself and others.

Emotional Contrast: The Push and Pull

One of the most common techniques is creating emotional contrast, known in psychology as intermittent reinforcement. First, you provide an abundance of warmth, attention, and bright moments—for example, an unforgettable date full of laughter and intense emotions. Then, suddenly, you pull away. This works because the person starts desperately missing that dopamine hit of positivity.

However, it is crucial not to overdo it. If you simply disappear without explanation, it looks strange, as if something is wrong with you. The girl might think: "He is unstable." It is always better to have a plausible justification—"I have a tough project at work tomorrow, I'll be busy for a few days" or "I'm visiting my parents for the weekend, the connection is bad there." In this way, you do not appear unreliable, merely busy.

Everything depends on your usual communication rhythm. If you typically text all day, "pulling away" means replying with significant delays. If you chat rarely, the contrast should be softer. Many "pickup artists" advise being totally unavailable, but this is useless if there is no interest yet. Unavailability only attracts when the person is already hooked. Why do women sometimes chase "unavailable" guys? Because often those men rely on looks to get a reaction. But for most men, we must build value through communication, emotions, and the ability to cheer someone up or help them relax. In this context, availability is initially a plus, not a minus.

The Needle: The Cruelest Method

There is another harsh method I call the "needle." At the absolute peak of emotions—when everything seems perfect, full of warmth and understanding—you suddenly vanish completely. No explanations. No warnings. It is like losing something that was sitting in a drawer, seemingly unimportant, but the moment it is gone, you turn the whole house upside down and cannot sleep.

I experienced something like this myself in my youth. There was a girl with whom everything was incredible—sincerity, empathy, the feeling that we understood each other 100%. Then, she didn't show up for a planned meeting, her phone was off, her dating site profile was deleted, and even her mother claimed no one like that lived there. I still do not know what happened. It left a deep mark—constant obsessive thoughts, analyzing every word we spoke. This method creates a traumatic, powerful attachment, but is it worth tormenting someone to that extent?

Competing with the "Perfect" Rival

Another technique, often used by women but effective for men too, is triangulation—casually mentioning someone "better." For example: "My colleague Petro gave such an awesome presentation today, the whole office was impressed" or "Petro bought a new car." You haven't even seen this Petro, but you immediately start thinking: "What could I do better?" You want to outdo him, give more, and try harder. Eventually, you feel inadequate.

It works even more strongly on men because we are naturally prone to competition. But ask yourself: is it fair to create such a ghost just to manipulate insecurity?

Mirroring: The Illusion of Soulmates

Another method is mirroring the person. This involves copying their speech pace, views, and preferences. She says: "I love cats"—you reply: "I adore them! I had a cat named Murzik for 10 years." You add details and speak confidently. It creates a powerful feeling: "We are so alike, it must be fate!"

However, if you overdo it—just repeating "Me too" to everything—it looks like sycophancy. You need to be natural and weave in your own stories. In a month or two, she is already in love, believing you are her soulmate, even if you change back to your true self later.

Isolation from Loved Ones

Sometimes the tactics are darker—when a partner starts discrediting your social circle. They might say, "Your friend Mykola actually envies you, don't you see?" or "Your mom is just jealous of our happiness." Gradually, you argue with everyone except her. She becomes the only "safe" and close person in your world, and your dependence on her grows exponentially.

Excessive Praise, Then Silence

Alternatively, one might use "Love Bombing." You praise her for every little thing at first—for a week or two. She gets used to it and feels incredibly special. Then, you abruptly stop. She starts trying harder, investing more emotion and effort, just to earn that praise again.

Why Are All These Methods So Devious?

Notice a pattern: almost all powerful ways to force someone to fall in love involve manipulation, pain, or dependence. There is no "kind" way to make someone obsessed with you. Because true obsession is often not healthy love—it is a pathology, an addiction.

When I was around 20, I fully understood these mechanisms. I realized I could probably spark strong feelings in many women using these tricks. But I quickly realized something important: if I attach someone like that, I take responsibility for their emotions and their suffering. So, I gave up all these tricks.

And do you know what happened? Women started falling in love even harder. Without manipulation. Because they sense when you could hurt them—disappear, play games, manipulate—but you choose not to. You are strong, but you choose to be kind. That is real attractiveness. Knowing these mechanisms is useful—like a boxer knowing punches to defend himself, not to attack civilians. It helps you recognize when someone is playing with your feelings. But using them to make women fall in love? Think twice. It is better to build on sincerity—it lasts longer and hurts less.
