This post is a The Art of Seduction summary. Specifically, it is a summary of Part 2, Chapter 23: Bold Moves.

The Art of Seduction was written by Robert Greene. This chapter summary was written by Sam Fury.

Once you are sure your target desires you, but is not ready to admit it openly, it’s time to make your intentions clear.

You must make a bold move.

Contents

Beware Indifference

Your target may resist you, but that doesn’t mean you should give up.

The fact that they show emotion or resistance is proof that they are considering you.

Indifference is the only true enemy to your efforts at seduction.

Take Your Time

A good seduction takes time. You must show your target that it’s more than just your libido that draws you to them. They need to think their charm is what draws you in.

However, if you take too long to act after showing desire, then your target may think that you’re not so interested after all. 

Timing is key.

Not the Norm

In everyday life, we must all be kind and get along. We must all act a certain way to fit in.

When it comes to seduction, all that can go out the window.

This is when you can show your true self. Be bold in a way that makes your target feel as if it is their hold on you that has made you act beyond what society deems “normal”.

Bold, Not Crazy

Uncontrollable boldness can be frightening. You must be able to use it when appropriate and rein it in when it’s not.

A Pleasant Surprise

The bold move should be a pleasant surprise to your target. Once they start giving you signals of interest, make the move. If you wait too long and they are expecting it, it will lose its charm.

Theatrics

Your bold move must be memorable—something that stands out from your target’s everyday life. This is done through theatrics. It can be your actions, but may also be the setting.

Infect Them With Emotion

Emotions are contagious. At the time of your bold move, infect your target with whatever emotion you need them to feel. Do this by cultivating that emotion within yourself.

Feminine Boldness

A woman can still use boldness without emasculating her target. She does this by stirring desire within him, then taking a step back and signaling him (with her eyes, gestures, etc.) to make the bold move.

Of course, this doesn’t have to be so. She can also make the bold move, but just be aware that doing so may turn some men off, though others will welcome it.
