You need a hero in need

Many children's fairy tales have suggested to us for years that men are attracted to women who need help. But miming the victim so he can play the hero probably won't work in the long run. Especially at the beginning of a relationship (or when dating), you should first sort out deeper issues with yourself, friends, or family. Nevertheless, you can, of course, confide in the man about your problems. With drama, on the other hand, you will only scare him away.
