Tom Cruise More Interested in Cameron Diaz than Vice Versa -- Why This Is a Good Thing for a Woman!

I briefly discussed the little tidbit about how Tom Cruise might have been interested in Cameron Diaz, but didn’t think much of it. The reason why is because she didn’t seem like his type. He went from brunettes like Penelope Cruz and Katie Holmes, to Cameron who's a blonde. She's also...well...let’s just say she's much more of a free-spirit than Tom. I thought maybe the tabloids put a story out there just one time and that would be that.

But the gossip isn’t subsiding. Just today, I read an article about how Tom and Cameron get along very well. He thinks she’s beautiful, intelligent, and a lot of fun. It’s he who wants to take their friendship to the next level, but Cameron really only sees him as a brother and friend. I wonder how long this will last, i.e. Cameron keeping Tom at bay. My guess is that they’ll go from just being friends to something more someday.

This made me think about how sometimes a woman will meet a man, start hanging out with him, and not play hard-to-get because she isn’t interested. Say they become good friends. She spends a lot of time talking to him on the phone, maybe hangs out with him for hours on end, and confides her inner most secrets. She thinks it’s safe to do all of this because she doesn’t feel romantically toward him. 

This is great, though. Some of the best stories of couples who come together happen when the woman never wanted to give the man the time of day, but he had to have her. The woman might know this, but keeps him at an arms length because she's just not that interested.

All of the sudden, something romantic happens between them. And she now likes him…a lot. Hey, it’s not her fault! How was she to know he was that good of a kisser?

Now they’re dating. Yet, she's still in the habit of some bad patterns that may have worked ok while they were friends. Next thing she knows, he’s not initiating as much and it just doesn’t feel right. The closeness they shared as friends is somehow different now that they’re romantically involved. She's worried he’s losing interest. What can she do?

I coach women on playing hard-to-get at the outset of meeting a man. This doesn’t always happen, though. For those who start off as friends and it turns into something more, it’s best to pull back a tad and be mysterious if you feel his attention is slipping. Start ending the conversations earlier than you normally do, cut down on the time you spend with him, and no more heart-to-heart talks. You'll probably see that he'll start coming around again.

Of course, the best thing a woman can do for herself is not be too available for any man. It might seem like silly advice to some. The reality, though, is you'll have no regrets if you know you kept your cool from the moment you met. You don't want to risk a man losing interest in you. Some things just aren't worth the gamble.

Until next time...

Shine like Platinum!
