Well, I've got a bit attached to a woman lately, and want her to like me beyond being a friend. But these points are the stumbling blocks:
- She recently was dating a geologist, who at first seemed nice, but turned out to be a dick to her. he was not physically abusive, but would speak down to her and treat her like a trophy.
- She seems turned off at dating for now, but she always seems to attract dicks. Why she does, I think only God knows. I don't treat women like ****, and I want to see not all guys are jerks.
She may seem a bit off dating now, but would I have much hope here?
Everybody is different, but from a woman's perspective, would you be willing to give a guy a chance, even if past experience made things sour?

She should come around, just give it time. I would wait it out if you are really interested in her. Good luck Rugged
Keep her away from City Data Relationships Forum. J/k
If she thinks all guys are jerks, and has had a series of bad experiences with men, maybe she should be analysing her pattern. Most often, people who always end up in borderline-abusive relationships is because those are the relationships they are looking for, whether they're aware of it or not. And why do they look for that? Maybe they don't think they deserve to be loved, maybe they want to end up being alone. Maybe who knows. I don't think that they are so willing to change their mind, generally speaking. They need awareness of their own motivations to really be able to control them, first and foremost.
I agree with Rugged. Time will be your friend. Be a good friend and take a genuine interest in who she is and what she does and likes to do, be respectful and don't smother her and you should do well.
you can't make anyone like you so just be a good friend to her but keep yourself open to meeting other people that way all your eggs are not in one basket
The first thing she deems not to like about a man she'll resort to her prior (all guys are jerks) programming.
So why potentially go through all the trouble and drama?
