Being my first post, I don't expect this to get much, if any attention.

Regardless, I've noticed some things based on a trend I've followed in the past. I feel this is especially applicable for TRP. Basically, in past times that I've had an LTR, I've transitioned from an Alpha approach in obtaining the girl towards a Beta-style treatment of the girl once I'm we're in an LTR. In doing so, the specific problem I've identified is this: You cannot let yourself succumb to her; ALWAYS maintain status as the alpha.

My PU has always been consistent. But in the past, once I've found a girl I'm able to accept as an LTR partner, I've resorted to taking on a Beta approach to that LTR. I allow too much time and mental effort to be used on said LTR. Don't ask why, I don't know.

My point is; Don't ever let yourself get too comfortable in an LTR. Always ensure she's in pursuit of you and not the other way around. If she's stopped pursuing, you're the one in pursuit. If you allow her to gain the 'advantage', she will already have other dudes on her mind who are worthy of her pursuit. These other guys are who she is looking at as potential mates (these are other alphas you've let surpass you in her mind).

So, don't be like me. Don't let her get the upper-hand and drag you along on the chase. It's not your fucking job to follow her. You shouldn't feel obligation to contribute; do so only when it feels right. You're the man, take control and show your dominance as you should.
