Become The Femme Fatale

2. Be independent

To be a true femme fatale, rely on yourself and only yourself. While it’s fun to fantasize about a lover or see if your friends will call you up, focus on being happy on your own. Develop your own passions and carve out plenty of time for personal growth and self-improvement. Once you discover you’re all you need, people will notice the way you glow with self-assurance.

You can form meaningful relationships with people, but you remember—even if you’re dating the lover of your dreams, it’s best if you act like you don't need them.

Let your SOs know your philosophy about enjoying lovers but not depending on them with a remark like, "I really appreciate and value your company. It's a great bonus to have you in my life."
