Article: Keep your alpha man interested by having your own interests and goals outside of him. You'll both have more to talk about at the end of the day if you're busy pursuing your own career or hobbies. If anyone tries to keep you from pursuing your own interests, remove yourself from the situation and find someone who will appreciate your independence. Most alpha males need time every so often to hang out with their friends or to pursue their hobbies. Show him that you appreciate who he is by encouraging him to do these things. If he loves to fish, ask him if he'd like to take the weekend to go on a fishing trip while you visit your family. If you know his friends have a poker night on Thursdays, consider taking a class on Thursday nights. That way, he can still enjoy his time with his friends, and you won't be sitting at home waiting for him. An alpha male can run the risk of feeling like he's alone at the top of the pack. Let him know it's you and him against the world by offering a supportive shoulder whenever he's feeling stressed. If you know he's had a long day, call and order his favorite take-out and make some time for just the two of you. Try saying something like, "I know you had a big meeting today. How did it go?" A lot of alpha males are used to strutting through life without ever being challenged. If you feel like he's wrong, let him know. He might be surprised at first but he'll respect you more in the long run. Try not to challenge him in front of other people. No one likes to feel embarrassed, especially alpha males. Wait until the two of you are alone to talk about something you didn't like. You might say something like, "I know you were annoyed that the food took a long time to come out, but I didn't like that you were rude to our waiter." When you're ready to take your relationship to the next level, don't assume that he will automatically know. Specifically tell him that you like him and you're interested in being exclusive with each other. If he agrees to a committed relationship, set aside some time to celebrate! If he seems reluctant to commit to you, say something like, "I'm sorry you made that decision. I hope you find what you're looking for," then move on with your life. You deserve someone who will give you their undivided attention.
