How To Make A Man Love You

We took three successful single women unable to find a partner and enlisted the help of experts to turn their lives around. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner - and it seems as if the world (and his girlfriend) will all be happily enjoying romantic dates. But the reality is that these days increasing numbers of women are remaining single and finding it harder than ever to find the man of their dreams. Lifestyle teamed up with up-market introduction service Berkeley International and followed the fortunes of three attractive and successful women on a series of dates to discover exactly why they were failing to find love.

The women all went on a couple of dates with eligible, professional men and we then asked everyone how the evening went. The feedback was analysed by Mairead Molloy, director of Berkeley International, which charges clients a £5000 joining fee. We next enlisted the advice of leading specialists to give sessions of appropriate, practical advice aimed at setting them on the path to finding their ideal partner. The women then went on two further dates with different eligible bachelors to try out the tips they received. So how did they get on, And did the advice work, Their experiences make fascinating reading for anyone hunting for love.

Karin is a jewellery maker, from south London. Karin has a wide circle of friends, many of whom are married, and enjoys travel and sport. Relationship history: A couple of serious relationships in the past, of which the last ended in 2000. She has been on a number of dates and has tried internet dating since then but has not met anyone special. The dates: Karin’s first two dates were with Otis, a 40 year old property developer, and Harry, a 39 year old accountant. Women often tend to stick to wearing black because they think it’s flattering, but the truth is that most men prefer to see some colour.

I picked out a Roland Mouret-style tailored dress in red for Karin because it’s a flattering, vibrant shade and because the dress emphasizes her slender but curvy figure without swamping her - which is important as she’s also quite petite. In general, I would advise all women to wear a dress for a first date - it’s feminine and there are styles out there to suit every shape. If you wear jeans and a top, no matter how fantastic they are - you risk looking as though you haven’t made an effort. A dress is also the simplest outfit to wear. Galaxy-style dresses suit slim shapes and wrap dresses show a bit of cleavage while still looking classy and suit most figures.

She should also make sure she’s had her hair blow-dried, particularly on the first couple of dates, as this can make a massive difference to your overall appearance. However, she should also take time applying her make-up, making sure it is natural looking as most men hate women appearing over made-up. I was amazed at the difference in my appearance - and having all that attention paid to me really gave my self-esteem a big boost. I was much less concerned about the outcome of the dates and, for the first time in ages, I found myself enjoying the evening not worrying about what the man thought of me.
