Desire vs. Detachment
Answer: With the law of attraction you want to get clear on your intention and become a vibrational match for it. The law of detachment is about not being attached to a certain outcome. Think of the story of the man in the flood who is sitting on his roof waiting to be rescued. He wants to be rescued and thinks God is going to save him. People come in a boat and helicopter to save him but he resists their attempts and says, “No no, it’s okay. God will save me.” When he gets to Heaven he complains and God says, “I sent you a boat and a helicopter. What more did you want?” The man was a vibrational match for being rescued but he was attached to that manifesting a certain way (e.g. the mighty hand of God). Cast your intention out upon the water and let the universe decide how best to manifest the details. You might be getting what you asked for and not even be noticing it.

Hi Wim,
This is very helpful, thanks. But what about this: you get what you want as you've cast your intention and it starts happening. In my case, I've been meeting and getting the numbers of very beautiful, cool girls.
So now I want to get to know them, and it seems I'm not getting the reactions I want. I think I'm a bit too eager even though I'm not really overdoing it - just slightly. So what do I do?
Hey Phoenix,
That could have a great number of answers... But since we're talking about the LOA, it is the letting go of the expectation that is the hardest part. This means accepting that it is possible nothing will happen. And that's ok.
I wouldn't worry too much, even if you're too eager, after a while you will get tired of not getting a positive reaction. You will "lose" some girls this way (and I use the term "lose" very lightly) but you will balance yourself out in eagerness if you just continue your life.
Hope this helps,
Wim
Just skimmed your blogpost... I don't know if this is still timely, but.. you're putting WAY too much effort and value into them.
Trying to make them feel this or that?? You're also trying to get their attention as validation, I think.
Go for what YOU want. Make a date. Have some fun.
Good luck!
Yeah you're probably right... It's very exciting to get close to a woman that I genuinely like with every fibre of my being, to feel that she likes me back... So as you say, I'll need to learn to let go of the expectation here as well, without losing the desire to get to know her.
About making a date: that's what I'm trying, and it isn't working :) I'm pretty sure if I get either one of them at a coffee table somewhere I'll be fine - until then I feel like I'm fumbling in the dark...
