That is a really STUPID bit of advice. If he follows that then all he will end up with is head cases who like to be mistreated.

Personally if a guy acts like he's not that into me, I move on. Life is short and there is the door, don't waste my time.

If you want someone you can have an honest and open relationship with, then be honest with them. I'm affraid as women we deal with guys who move to fast to create the ILLUSION of a relationship because they want something else, like sex or someone to take care of them. My first husband created the illusion of a marriage because what he really wanted was access to my Father's money. STARTING with my Father putting money down on a house for us AND putting money into my husbands business.

Just make sure your actions SAY the same things that your WORDS do.

Frankly I would LOVE to find a guy like you, I am a very tactile person, I like to cuddle, hold hands and have nice long conversations but I am SO far away from wanting to get married AND I need time to myself. I should imagine your too young for me though since you refer to your dates as girls.

Coming on too strong too soon is one of the major signs of abusers, not necessarily physical. I'm not saying you are, but that may be raising more aware women's red flags.

Well, most of us like to call it "love at first sight" and "whirlwind romance" until we get burned. Of course, young girls (and not so young...) are more likely to be unaware of the potential pitfalls. The most important reason for it is the men want to secure the relationship before showing their true colors. They know they can't keep up the charade for too long. By this time the woman is already emotionally involved and attached and starts wondering what went wrong and where prince charming went, starts blaming herself, overcompensating, etc., not realizing the prince was only a figment of her imagination to begin with and will never return.

part of the fun of "falling in love" is the getting-to-know-you phase. If you move too fast into the physical, cuddly, touchy-feely; you don't give a girl a
chance to let her head fall in love too. Obviously, if there is instant chemistry between you two, then sure - things will move faster. But I think you'd
really be able to tell genuine chemistry. When it hits you, there should be no guessing at "missed" signals.

How old are you? I bet you just haven't met the right ones yet.

I find this part the most troublesome. Once you know other people (and I mean all people!) is when everything starts going downhill. It's so much better when you're infatuated!

WTH are you doing up?!
