Not a prereq. I CAN spot it a mile away and am attracted to the fun they bring to the table. Call me what you want, I'm just trying to get a feel for what the consensus is out there regarding this.

Maybe I do need some help......I have been burned by THIS kind of person before. I know, maybe I am the crazy one.

All traits I adore, but after a while they turn into my worst nightmare. They become elusive, abusive and cheat. They also always seem to be the most professional manipulators and liars. The reason I am writing this post is because I recently met another one of those types. She's stunningly beautiful but she scares the cr@p out of me. She knows how to talk things up and give me high hopes, but I don't think I can trust her as far as I can throw her at this point. She tells me things about how she has had only abusive relationships and now she is ready for a simpler more "normal" life, which I know I can give to her if she is accepting to it since I have a career and own a home, which she says is what she wants. I just have this gut feeling that is eating my stomach alive, that what she says is just too good to be true. I am basing that on my past experiences with the same types of women, I do know, that just maybe she is being sincere. Sometimes I think I'm the crazy one because I seem to attract these types and fall for them for the excitement they bring, but that has always been in the short term. So what to do, RUN RUN RUN or wait and see how things work out? Most advice I see is to run as far away as possible, but I am REALLY attracted to her. Thanks for any advice.

Being attracted to someone is like a drug. And sometimes people throw everything away for this drug.

On whether to run or to stay, it depends on what you're looking for. If you just want excitement and play and willing to abort things when they go bad, go for it. Have your fun. Life is too short.

But if you are thinking of finding a long term partner, someone you can trust and rest secure in their love, then it might be time to run. But you should double check: do you have things in common, can you talk about stuff to each other, can you do things together, are you similar in your ideas about spending money and children.... These are the important things to look for BESIDES attraction. Attraction is for play. The common things and friendship is for lasting love.

"She". I read somewhere that a high percenrage of actual bi-polar people are transexuals. I think most likely that you've been messing around with some guys and didn't even know it.
Good luck with this latest hottie. Check the adams apple.

Thanks for the sincere post. To answer your questions, yes we have many things in common, we spent a 4 day weekend together last weekend talking about EVERYTHING. She told me some of her most personal things as did I. I really felt she was being honest, at least until the psycho came out which lasted for a couple of hours. We can also do things together and have quite a few times, we like the same things. Money spending? I don't know what HER habits are, but I spent a ton...lol
I know attraction is for play, but that's where it starts. If you're not attracted, you're not going to play or take the time to get to know each other. Thanks again.
