How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/Relationship story.
Expert: Azure - 2/2/2010
QuestionHello. :) I'd like to tell you my story, if that's alright.
I've been through relationships: online/long distance, short term, on and off, long term, etc. The thing is, I'm tired of being being the dumpee and the dumper. I just want to stay when it's feeling right for me. In June 2009, I dated this guy for 4 months. It wasn't that long, and I'm not completely sure what the emotion I had for him was, but I was devastated when he dumped me. I was sad, and my world just felt to grey.
It took about a month and a half for me to be ok with dating again. I had this new guy friend in my life I'd been talking since that March 2009.I'm going to call him #1. #1 began to really like me, and then in August 2009 I dated him. I don't know why I did it looking back. Maybe I was desperate because I don't remember even really liking him at all. Bad decision I know, but it happened. The beginning of June 2009, I met a new boy. I'm going to call him #2. I liked #2 right away, it was like love at first site, though I didn't love him at the time, just liked him. I soon found out he liked me too, and we hung out the entire summer with my cousin, so it was the 3 of us. But then I dated #1 in August, and #2 was pretty hurt. I didnt realize at the time just how much he liked me, and he wouldnt talk to me for a week. Eventually as friends, he admitted to me that it was to get over me. I dumped #1 when I couldnt take it anymore. I had lost anything I could have had for #1 if it was even at all there, when I realized #2 was who I needed to be with. I loved him 2 1/2 months later, and I found myself stuck. I told #2 how I felt after dumping Shawn, and he told me he wish he still has feelings for me, but didn't.I wasnt expecting him to say what I wanted to hear, but still i was devastated. BUT THEN! Mid November, #2 and I hung out alone. We talked and walked for hours and it was great. I found out through a friend later that night that he began liking me after that. After just a few hours of one on one talking! :) And then after a month, he asked me out! We've now been together for 2 months and one week. It hasn't been long, but we have history. And we both say I love you to eachother every day. I'm falling for him fast, no doubt. We both know theres a difference between I love you and Im in love with you. He kisses my face a lot, my mouth, gives me long hugs, when I asked how he felt, he said. "Hey Catie. I love you, I love you lots! :)" I know he doesn't want to rush things bewteen us.
So my question is, what does this all mean? He got mad at me a few days ago because I was mad at him, but things are better now. Though today he just kept giving me this expressionless stare. It was weird.
Whats he going through? How can I give our relationship more depth? I think Im a good girlfriend to him. But I want to feel like I am. I dont know whats missing, but I just want to know what I can do to make him want me. He never asks me to hang out, I always come to him first. I want to feel more needed. We dont get much chances anymore to get further between us. Help?
Answerstop chasing, don't be so available--guys like a challenge, and here you are being the one to go after HIM; that's the GUY'S job; he's way too sure of you; change your approach--if he's truly interested, he'll ask you out--if not, you'll know he wasn't that interested..don't let your neediness evaporate all your self-esteem...
