雖然時代很開放，但沒有男人能接受女人付出過多的過去 無論男人假裝大方的要你說說看交過幾個男朋友，於是你想藉由講著以前的男友多糟糕來警惕他，他也只感受到「原來你被糟蹋了這麼多次」以及「原來你都跟這麼糟的男人在一起」而且無論他多麼想將這件事想的很正面，都會無聲的導入負面。

想要更多的獨處時光 當妳的約會對象想要跟妳有更多單獨相處的機會，而不會叫上其他好友加入妳們，就很有可能是因為他覺得妳在他身邊，他可以很自在，他也會想花更多時間來了解妳

延長約會時間 Santos 說：「如果這個男生是個被虐狂，他也許會想要與一位他完全沒有興趣去的女生共度更多的時光，但是如果他願意為了妳在晚餐後安排其他有趣的活動，那就是他對妳有好感的徵兆。」

再次邀約 通常妳的對象會在首次約會快結束之前提出這樣的邀約，有些人也許會客套性的問妳是否還要安排下次約會，但即便是客套話，他既然願意問妳就是個好徵兆。

道別後的問候簡訊 如果妳的約會對象迫不及待的想告訴妳今天的約會讓他很開心，這正說明著此次約會非常成功！

穩定性 在還沒有正式交往的約會過程中，必須要確認彼此都有同樣的感受，雙方持續保持聯絡或者固定的安排約會活動都是好辦法。

臨時起意但不隨便的約會 Santos說：「就是因為他想更暸解妳，同時判斷妳是不是他願意無時無刻都在一起的對象，他才會約妳跟他出去辦一些小差事或到公園走走。這些臨時邀約跟隨口問妳 「妳睡了嗎？」並不相同，他是特地約妳晚上出去，還是花心思為妳排掉其他行程，只為與妳共度一個美好的午後呢？

如果他喜歡妳，他的肚臍一定是永遠面對妳的 有些男生很害羞，他不一定會主動接近自己超喜歡的人，反而會因此不敢前進，或是會害羞不敢看妳等等，但如果他喜歡妳，他眼睛可能不看妳，或是在跟別人說話，他如果喜歡妳，軀幹的部分一定是面對著妳的

主動或暗示，看他的行為模式有沒有改變 沒有人不喜歡自己喜歡的人主動接近自己或跟自己示好，所以一旦我們接收到這種「鼓勵」，絕對會願意把關係更進一步。所以對方也是一樣的，光只有回應是不夠的，妳必須也要有「主動」的行為，才能確定對方是喜歡妳的。

主動或是暗示的程度，必須依照對方對於人與人之間互動的敏感度跟肉食程度來拿捏，在情場上越如魚得水的人主動程度要越少，越遲鈍或木頭的人要丟原子彈一般的球他才會接到。

男生在追求妳的過程中,心裡在想甚麼? 為什麼不追了呢?

如果他不去追你，肯定是他還不夠喜歡你

某雜誌的調查指出：有七成的男人追女人耐心不到3個月，剩下的1個月之內沒到手就會宣告放棄

曖昧是男人在追求愛情的生存方式 所以雖然曖昧讓人受盡委屈也不能怪他們怎麼可以「其實沒有這麼喜歡妳」，只能說他們真是出乎我們意料的脆弱

過度測試 男人感興趣的是女人是臉蛋，身材，而女人享受的卻是愛情的過程，被寵，被追求，被捧成公主的成就感。而如果男生追求你的過程，被你變成一次又一次的考驗，被推開，就會開始變得不耐煩，很多時候你是不自知的，就享受其中。

踩到地雷 “地雷”肯定就是涉及底線和原則的啦，一般不容易觸發，但一不小心踩到了。那基本是無力回天了。

誤會男生的意圖 在戀愛的初期，男人做一些溫暖，貼心的舉動很可能只是出於應有的紳士風度或者善意，卻被你誤會成了愛意，就是“他喜歡你”，“他在追你”，或者對方只是在網聊泡姑娘，打發無聊時間罷了。

首先，知道男生在想什麼後，除非你全部都中他根本沒那麼喜歡你或是你做了讓他往後退的事，那很抱歉，別浪費時間了趕快找下一個吧! 如果你還有機會...女孩們，讓這曖昧不明的關係升格成情侶關係吧!

讓他對自己有信心 對方不告白的原因，有可能是因為怕妳不會答應接受他。 所以妳要讓他知道假使他跟妳告白，妳也不會拒絕他。 頻繁地回覆他的訊息、當他約妳的時候就馬上答應、見面的時候總是面帶笑容等等。

製造讓他約妳的機會 當對方要約妳出去時候，想必也是非常緊張的。 告訴他妳假日有時間、想去哪裡、想吃什麼，提供他許多關於你的情報，製造讓他約妳出去的機會。 想要他向妳告白的話，首先要製造出獨處的空間。藉由兩人獨處，一定能增加讓他告白的機率

「明明就互相對彼此有意思，但是為什麼對方都不行動？」，妳是否會因此感到焦慮不安呢？ 這時候，就由自己來採取行動吧！不然一直被動地等待對方告白，因此錯失這段戀情的話。就太可惜了！

釋放出崇拜及需要他的訊號 接著在兩人的互動比較熟絡之後，妳就可以開始上演「需要他幫助」的戲碼，像是電腦壞了、迷路或是工作遇到困難心情不好，想聽聽他的意見，這邊妳要釋放出的是「需要並且相信只有你」的訊號，而不是把他當成工具人一樣協助妳解決問題．

吃醋是愛情的催化劑，看對方是否對自己有好感，只要刺激一下他，看他有沒有嫉妒心理就知道了。

曖昧拖得太久就越難進入正軌，如果前面的方法都不管用，那麼他要不是戀愛高手，要不就是非常遲鈍。這是直接挑明關係，讓對方沒有躲閃後退的路。你可以直接問他：「為什麼對我那麼好?」或者更直接一點：「你是喜歡我嗎?」如果對方含糊其辭，那麼這段愛情不要也罷。

A lot of times when I've been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.

It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.

Disney is our contemporary landscape. The best art will reflect that and challenge you. Disney comforts you, whereas the best art shakes up your comfort level and perception.

I think we're all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in; their true beauty is revealed only if their light is from within.

If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there's a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric.

What can I say: I'm a writer - I enjoy forcing pain and suffering on my characters!

There are still some terrible cliches in the presentation of Indian fiction. The lotus flower. The hennaed hands. In mainland Europe, people still slap these images on my books and I go bananas.

Psychopaths are actually, really, really, really rare in our culture, are people who don't... Or in society, in the world. They're people who don't feel guilt. They're people who don't feel fear. I think that most of us feel those things. There's a kind of... They're almost like superheroes. Not to glorify them, but you know what I mean?

Yes, I don't think I shall ever become Prime Minister. Hard as that is to swallow, I tell you one person who is very happy always to see me say that, and that's my wife.

Many a man owes his advancement very largely to his ability to converse well. The ability to interest people in your conversation, to hold them, is a great power.
