Okay, so this is kinda f'd up but I'll like a girl and as soon as she likes me back I kind of lose interest or don't find her that appealing or attractive anymore.

Also I can be with a girl and not really big digging her that much but as soon as she wants to break up I'm like oh i like her take me back and then were back together and i'm like yeah im not digging her anymore whyd i do that.

why is this and how can i change it?

You can't.. attraction is what it is. You either find them attractive or not. It can't be trained and although your taste in the opposite sex may change over time it wont be something you can control.

It also seems your more attracted to the 'Thrill of the Chase' than the joy of the catch (terrible analogy but i hope you get the idea).

Sorry mate.

Human nature. We often want what we can't have.

Maybe it's part of the game for you, hunting your prey.

You're like a 3 year old child. Just wants what he can't have. My advice? Start leaning your ABC's, buddy.

Maybe it's because you reside in "Chciago" lol!

Maybe it's time for a change of yourself and or locale.

Or pray.

You are just addicted to wooing and winning and proving that everyone likes you. And you get everyone to like you. You want to keep field open and not move to next level. Or if you want to know real reason just be honest to yourself, answer is there, inside of you.

Sounds like the chase is better than the catch. You have to grow out of that. When you are ready for something real then you will not need to play the cat and mouse game.

i guess its either this what you said or i have some issue with myself and im like if this girl likes me there must be something wrong with her. i dont know what it is but would like to get over this as i obviously like these girls at some point and as soon as they like me i dont like them anymore

Figure out what you like about these girls initially then decide if you would find these traits desirable if you had a relationship with them.

The chase is exciting to you. Figure out if you would enjoy doing things with these women after you no longer have to chase.
