Seduction has a bad reputation, especially amongst women who are seduced and then unceremoniously dumped …

• Seduction is often difficult to distinguish from rape. In seduction, the rapist often bothers to buy a bottle of wine. Andrea Dworkin
• When lovely woman stoops to folly, and finds too late that men betray, what charm can soothe her melancholy, what art can wash her guilt away? Oliver Goldsmith
• Wanted: Meaningful overnight relationship.

.

… due to the bad behaviour of some commitment phobic men

• A bachelor is a man who never chases a woman he can’t outrun.
• Woman begins by resisting a man’s advances and ends up blocking his retreat. Oscar Wilde
• A girl never pursues a man; but then a mousetrap never pursues a mouse. Ronnie Barker
• Commitment

Healthy and honest seduction isn’t about coercion or manipulation …

• Seduction isn’t making someone do what they don’t want to do; seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already. Benjamin T. Russell

.

… and is wielded maturely and responsibly

• Mastering the art of seduction gives one a great power, and like any power, it’s to be wielded with responsibility; a man who wields the art of seduction without a sense of responsibility and restraint is a walking proximity bomb of viral epidemics, needless procreation, heartbroken families, and shattered dreams. Mike Norton

Seduction, practiced in this way, can be as fun as the sex itself

• When I was younger, the great excitement of pursuing women was the sense of seduction and romance and chase. Hugh Grant
• She’s beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is a woman, therefore to be won. William Shakespeare
• Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price. Jean Baudrillard

Seduce her by making her feel good about herself

• If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself ~ all that runs over will be yours. Charles Caleb Colton

.

Seduce her with your sense of humour

• If you can make a girl laugh – you can make her do anything… Marilyn Monroe
• More than any other personality trait, a good sense of humor unlocks the door to her bedroom, according to a study from Northumbria University in the U.K. Why? Women regard a sense of humor as a sign of intelligence and honesty, the study authors say. But there’s one big catch: Women dig positive, inclusive jokes—not negative jabs or put- downs. Ditch the sarcasm, insults, and unflattering observations of others. Instead, your goal is witty, kind-hearted banter. “I noticed you bobbing your head to this Justin Bieber song, so I knew we’d have a lot in common.” That sort of thing. Markham Heid
• Men should try and introduce cute private jokes to create a bond between the two of you. This will help to make you seem like long- time lovers rather than first-date strangers. Leil Lowndes
• Humour

.

Seduce her by making it clear you’re interested in more than her looks

• Men should not ask a woman out too soon, lest she think you are interested only in her looks. The ideal time to ask a woman for a date is when she has said something relevant to her personality. For example, if she says something spiritual, say that you’d love to hear more about that, perhaps over dinner. A woman values interest all the more if she feels that you appreciate her inner qualities. Leil Lowndes

.

Some men assert that you’re bound to fail at seduction if you tell her you like her …

• Don’t let her know you like her. Many guys make this mistake here. They tell the girl they like her, or that they have feelings for her. Of course, you like her. She knows that already, doesn’t she? You text her all the time, both of you flirt all the time, and she can definitely feel the chemistry. But even though she has a hint that you like her, she needs to hear it from you to confirm her doubts. Play it cool and don’t confess your feelings for her anytime now. Her excitement and curiosity would make her addicted to you. Revealing your affection for her will kill the suspense, which won’t help you in any way.  Keith Brown

.

… while many women disagree with this nonsense advice

• So many guys don’t and instead hide their desire until they are absolutely certain that a woman has given all the ‘yes’ signals. Stop waiting for her and start leading with your desire, make your move. She may be happily surprised, or she may not be interested at all. You won’t know if you do nothing, and if you wait too long she’ll lose interest. Kalpna Manek
• Show a woman your desire in your slow suggestive smile, in the way you look at her. Tell her in your eyes that you want her, the tone of your voice and the way you lean forward to whisper in her ear. Kalpna Manek

.

Instead, seduce her by being honest and real

• You have nothing to hide. Stop being scared and trying to find ‘techniques’ that will work ‘on’ a woman. Instead start behaving like a real man and be honest about what you want. That is truly sexy and is what real seduction is all about!  Kalpna Manek
• Honesty

.

Seduce her with sincere compliments …

• When a woman has not received much flattery in her life, she will be seduced. Melina Marchetta
• If she has to ask how she looks, it’s too late. Compliments lose credibility when they’re paid in response to a statement of insecurity. Robin Kowalski, Ph.D.
• Encouragement

.

… especially by telling her she’s beautiful

• The best way to turn a woman’s head is to tell her that she has a beautiful profile. Sacha Gintry
• You can never tell a woman too many times that she’s beautiful. It reassures her that you still feel an emotional connection with her. Tammy Nelson, Ph.D.
• Beauty

.

Seduce her with words …

• I think a man’s “wordplay” can be so fucking sexy!!! I love a good mind fuck!! Junnita Jackson
• For women, the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time. Isabel Allende
• His voice was as intimate as the rustle of sheets. Dorothy Parker
• The next time you try to seduce anyone, don’t do it with talk, with words. Women know more about words than men ever will. And they know how little they can ever possibly mean. William Faulkner
• All really great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction. Marya Mannes

.

… and the power of stimulating conversation …

• Writing is seduction. Good talk is part of seduction.  If not so, why do so many couples who start the evening at dinner end up in bed?  Stephen King
• There was no aphrodisiac more powerful than talking, no seduction more effective than curiosity. Manju Kapur
• It’s beautiful when you find someone that is in love with your mind. Someone that wants to undress your conscience and make love to your thoughts. Someone that wants to watch you slowly take down all the walls you’ve built up around your mind and let them inside.
• Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I am yours forever.
• Making conversation

.

… or you could try a more silent approach!

• Women like silent men. They think they’re listening. Marcel Archard
• Silence

.

Seduce her with the power of your smile

• Beauty is power; a smile is its sword. Charles Reade
• She gave him a smile I could feel in my hip pocket. Raymond Chandler
• A smile is the most effective form of body language and a great way to let somebody know that you are interested in them. Leil Lowndes
• Smiling

.

Seduce her with eye contact

• The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease to exist. Jennifer Salaiz
• When you are talking to your quarry, let your eyes stay glued to his or hers a little longer than necessary – even during silences. Leil Lowndes

.

Seduce her with shared experiences, especially ones with a little “danger”

• You don’t have to go sky-diving, but a little shared danger is a proven aphrodisiac. A scary movie is an easy way to achieve this – or perhaps ice-skating, where the woman may be nervous and might have to hold on tight. Leil Lowndes

.

Seduce her by encouraging her to talk about her feelings

• A good tip for men: pluck up some courage and, whatever your quarry is discussing, simply ask her, “How do you feel about that?” It might seem awkward at first, but woman love to talk about how they feel and will nearly always respond enthusiastically. Leil Lowndes
• Emotions

.

Seduce her through a sense of shared convictions

• To capture your quarry’s heart, you need to share his or her convictions and show that you feel them deeply. Watch his or her reactions to outside stimuli, then show the same emotions – shock, disgust, humour, compassion. Leil Lowndes

.

Seduce her with flowers

• In the language of flowers the yellow rose means friendship, the red rose means love, and the orchid means business. E.C.McKenzie
• Flowers

Tips on going in for that kiss

• The last obstacle is a treacherous one: the first kiss. Blow it, and any interest she had in you can evaporate in an instant, shows a study from the University of Albany. The same study identified three important elements of a winning starter smooch: Good breath, little- to-no tongue, and assertiveness. Pop a mint on your way out of the bar, take her face in your hands, and look her in the eyes as you lock lips. Keep your mouth relaxed and your saliva to yourself, and you’ll knock her socks off, the research suggests. Markham Heid
• The first kiss is nothing more than a peck on the lips, then pulling back and making direct eye contact with her. When I do finally kiss her, I always feel out and match her kissing style. I’ll make sure that my tongue moves just the way her tongue moves, whether it’s hard or soft, a bit rough, or more reserved and gentle. This way she feels like she’s actually being kissed by a guy who is in tune with her. David Wygant
