I always hear this phrase being uttered by people close to a couple in very healthy, very loving relationship. "He was smitten with her", "He knew from the first time he sees her", "He is struck by the cupid's arrow", "It was love at first sight", "He would do anything to get her attention".

So sisters, remember that when a guy truly, genuinely likes you he will do all in his power to woo you. There's no such BS as "equality" when a man wants to win the heart of the woman he desires, he will go all out and put all his chips on the table. BECAUSE HE WAS SMITTEN. It is all very straightforward and very obvious to you and to anybody with a functioning pair of eyes.

If you even have a shred of doubt about the guy you are seeing, and you feel like you have to "work" for the situation to go somewhere, than he is just there to pass the time. Window shopping, in a sense.

Contrary to popular belief, men likes the dating game as much if not more than women - they like the attention and the experience. Don't let yourself become just another of his "fun weekend swing".

If he is not smitten with you, cut him off immediately.
