The Art of Seduction
The first lesson of seduction is not to be overeager. Early on, you shouldn’t put your cards on the
table and tell your target exactly what you want. You must be indirect and elusive.
If you approach at wholehearted bound, you’re going to appear desperately insecure. You’ll be
more successful if you don’t reveal your hand too soon. With seduction, it’s always best to let
your target come to you, under the misapprehension that she is the one making the first move.
Try to make an impression of neutrality: you should make yourself noticeable, but you needn’t
approach the target.
In fact, that's exactly how the Duke de Lauzun worked his magic on the Duchesse de
Montpensier while at Louis XIV’s court.
When the duchess first met the duke, she found herself rather enamored with the notorious lady-
killing Lothario.
But during later chance encounters in court, the duke appeared quite blasé. Nonetheless, after a
few tête-à-têtes, the duchess began to enjoy his company. Before too long, he became her
confidant. All he did was play the part of the friend and keep close by.
The duchess’s curiosity was stirred. Perhaps their friendship could become something more?
How could the duke not be interested in one of the most beautiful and noble women in France?
Lauzun’s approach was slow and steady. He was careful not to appear too interested too soon. It
was the intrigued duchess who confessed her infatuation to him first – and it wasn’t just the duke
she desired, but a marriage as well!
An effective seducer is spider-like, building a strong and sticky – and barely noticeable – web.
Therefore, you should demonstrate that you know how to soothe your target’s pain or sense of
emptiness.
You, too, can mesmerize your target this way: hold up a mirror to show them their best
attributes.
You can do this by behaving unpredictably. The secret here is to offer novelty, suspense and
spontaneity. If you’re too vanilla and plain the target will just lose interest.
When the time comes, it’s important to show you’re a virtuous person, someone who can act
selflessly. This will eliminate any doubts your target may have about you and they’ll begin to
truly trust you.
7) Let emotional attachments from your target’s childhood
be grist for your mill.
Childhood memories can provoke all sorts of powerful emotions, ranging from tenderness to
feelings of abandonment. And once they’re unearthed, your target will be even more receptive to
you.
In fact, you can use your target’s memories to strengthen your emotional connection.
It’s vital when seducing someone not to display your own anti-seductive characteristics.
