A stubborn man is a man who is inflexible or willful or who is simply unwilling to be controlled by anyone. This is a man who once he determines the path he wants to take is difficult or impossible to dissuade from that path. The saying “stubborn as a mule” comes to mind; A mule, once on the road, stays on that road with tenacious determination. Therefore, a stubborn man is not necessarily a bad love interest unless, of course, he has determined that he has no romantic interest in you, at which point it will be a test of your willingness to change your mind. But regardless of how stubborn a man is, there must be a way to make him fall in love with you. What can you do or say to make a stubborn man fall in love with you?

1. Don’t push it! A stubborn man is an expert at resisting direct shoves, so avoid any direct confrontation to his face as it will not work. Scolding him or convincing him to love you won’t work and the more you do it, the more he will resist you.

2. Work your charm on it. You want to overcome the rift of his stubbornness by approaching him indirectly. Use your appearance and personality to communicate with him. Be nice to him, but not too nice, as stubborn men are also often suspicious. Show your feminine self, treat it well, listen carefully and be sensitive to what it needs and do it. Your goal is to make him ‘see’ you for who you really are and to make him fall in love with you for what you bring to his life.

3. Share your other interests. Find out what he likes to do and become a part of it without following him or asking for anything more than a shared joy in what he enjoys. You need to do this naturally so that he doesn’t think you’re doing it just to catch him, otherwise his defenses could derail your efforts.

Four. Ration you. Making a stubborn man fall in love with you will require you to give him space and time to process your presence in his life, so you need to balance being available vs. not be available. When you are available, you need to bring all your positivity and great attributes with you so that their perspective of you is really cool. And when you are unavailable, you must be truly unavailable for him to start missing you and what he experienced and felt with you.

5. Tell her what you like. This may seem counterintuitive, but it works by letting you clearly know what it is you want and so you can make a decision on what to do. Once you’ve told him, you need to show your continued interest in him using the first 4 ways outlined. You must be persistent in loving him, but this does not mean that you impose yourself on him, but that you stay true to your love for him. Keep showing him that you love him and be sensitive to what he says or does to find out what’s going on with him.

You can only show him and tell him that you love him as he has yet to start loving you at some point. And you can’t force him to love you if he has no interest in you, even after you’ve done all 5 things listed. So, be real in doing the 5 things so you don’t waste your time on a stubborn man who will never return your love.
