I cannot seem to hold onto a girlfriend.
I cannot seem to hold onto a girlfriend. I will go out on one or two dates with a woman and then get the ‘we can just be friends’ speech. I show up on time, I bring flowers, I call when I say I’m going to. I listen to what they say and I don’t argue. I guess it’s true women like bad boys which leaves me out of the running.
While there are some women who like ‘bad boys’ most of us do not. The problem is men tend to think it must be one extreme or the other when they should be looking somewhere in the middle.
We like it that you show up on time – it shows you value our time as well as your own.
We like it when you call when you say you will – it shows respect.
It seems as if you are merely showing up . Why don’t you argue or at least give an opinion? We don’t want a guy who will just agree with us – that’s why we have girlfriends.
First and foremost, a woman wants a man who will make her feel safe. It could be physically safe, financially safe, emotionally safe, but she wants to feel safe. That means the guy doesn’t have to beat up everyone who looks at them funny, but he does have to have enough sense of himself to express who he is and what he believes. It doesn’t mean he’s a know it all, he means he knows enough to be present in his own life.
I bet if you would stop trying to be everyman and concentrate more on being your real self, some of those women will be inclined to hang around.
