So I met this guy and right off the bat I liked him.. but the thing is our personalities clash a bit. Our conversations start of nice/friendly and somehow it ends up where one person gets a bit insulted. I like the guy but I feel like are always challenging and questioning each others' authority. He sometimes rubs me the wrong way with his comments but then I dont know why but I like him ..
But then I met one of his friend and his friend has hinted that he liked me as well. His friend is good looking and our conversation flows very easily where we can talk non-stop, and it probably be easier to just go after the friend... Yet I still for some reason like the guy that I debate with .
Is the guy trying to debate with me because that's his way of flirting... cause Im starting to get exhausted with it yet being the chummy girl that I am I go after him.
I think the fact that you have experienced this early on leads me to believe :
1. It will always be this way
2. You have a passionate relationship meaning you both feel passionate about certain things....( this too will always be )
3. Either get used to it ( mine is that way and sure I could choose to walk away from an opinionated man, BUT he is passionate in many things and that is very, very good, which leads me to believe :
4. Your guy is likely a good passionate lover ( Don't quote me but if this works out, come back and let me know if I was right ! )
i agree that debating is not making someone feel ****ty. In the end you each should respect each other. Also if you end up "debating" all the time and u dont like it, id recommend not dating him. I mean can u imagine that on a daily basis.
Oh, hell no, no debating for me. I've got to do that with my mother and it's draining. I can't imagine dating someone like that.
If you feel so challenged by him, good luck, because he will always be right, he will always want to argue with you over assinine things, life is too short for that shyt.

If he was meant for you, the words would easily and fluently flow out. They aren't flowing, they are CLASHING. If you can't accept his opinion and he can't accept yours, and this is ALL the time, I'd look elsewhere! Some things with men are nonnegotiable.
I wouldn't exactly say it's flirting, it could be that the two of you like debating and debating each other. It's something other than flirting, it might be just that it's the way the two of you can relate, or a dominance thing.
Some married people seem to live their whole lives bickering on and on about everything. It's like they just like doing that. They bicker about what color to paint a room, what kind of dog to get, anything at all.

I agree with long term marriage partners "bickering" about petty things. I see elderly do it quite often. No one gets to the point of the OP though. That sounds more like a argument or fight instead of disagreeing.
Debating is fine but if you guys have no common values and it gets to the point where you are disagreeing about most issues, it probably won't work out.
