Fool-for-Love Moves

It's not brain science to figure out when a boy does or doesn't like you. But after reading He's Just Not the Into You, it made me realize how easy it really is to read a boy. And due to some recent personal experience, I've dealt with a boy calling me 4 times a day, to one who does it every 4 days, to one who hasn't talked to me in 4 months. Unfortunately, i can't control which one i like more than the other. But MSN has some love moves to help me during dating:

Fool-for-love move #1: Believing that falling head-over-heels in love at first sight is best.
How to fix it: Flash-bang-wow chemistry is fun, but true love evolves over time—not through fleeting glances or over a few cocktails during one enchanted evening.

Fool-for-love move #2: Having sex early on in a dating relationship.
How to fix it: “If you sleep with someone right away, it can be a problem later, because you’ve bypassed the phase of ‘Tell me more about yourself’ and ‘What do you like to do on Sundays?’” “It feels weird to ruin comfort levels by asking such basic questions after you've gotten physically close.”

Fool-for-love move #3: Falling for someone who’s taken.
How to fix it: “You may get the attention you desire in the moment, but you also get the heartache of someone who is not free to be fully attached to you.”

Fool-for-love move #4: Not letting people know you’re seriously looking.
How to fix it: When you’re tired of being single, appealing to your friends for help can seem like an act of desperation. “Blind dates can be scary and uncomfortable, but it's a lot more uncomfortable to sit at home on a Friday night feeling depressed and lonely,” says Puhn.

Fool-for-love move #5: Ignoring red flags (even if the person waving them is otherwise amazing).
How to fix it: Have you ever found yourself thinking, “He’s great, even if he does drink waaaay too much,” When you’re smitten, it’s easy to overlook issues that threaten the very basis of a future serious relationship, but when you do, you’re sabotaging your shot at said serious relationship. “Every time you date someone with an issue you have to work to ignore, you’re settling,”
