well, my take is that he is a b.s. factory. who does 4-5 bf-gf relationships in a year? only braggarts. now i believe 4-5 girls he seriously dated within the past year, but maybe i think of a gf as someone who needs at least 2-3 months before we talk about the exclusive bf/gf commitment. then of course, when you last broke up with you "ex" is also a factor.
but maybe i should start including weekend gf's in my dating ledgers?
I'm 20 years old and I was dating guy who got dumped after a 4 year relationship right around one year ago. I think it was his first love. Since then, he's had 4 or 5 failed relationships. Is that a lot? I'm wondering if he is just rebounding or is that normal. I was a little concerned because he brought her up on our second date. He said he saw someone that he thought was her..
I think it sounds like a lot if he actually considered them "girlfriends."
It can be if its breaking your bank account. If you can afford it, have fun. You're in your 20's
Here's a clue about dating in general - most successful guys in the dating world are the same guys who "passively" refuse to follow the practice that's obviously very harmful for them (i.e. paying for dates), they get the most relationships i they want them, they get laid with the most women if that's what they wanted, they are also the most satisfied with dating. Guys who follow the 'dating norms' that you described are usually the same guys who have bad luck with dating and the guys who end up with women who were pumped and dumped a number of times before.
Dating plenty of people when you are twenty is normal.
And dating around is NOT failed relationships. It is just dating.... the relationship starts when he thinks he found the right person.
Yes I agree but he considered these girls as "girlfriends" so I'm assuming he was committed with them because he considered himself a "relationship guy." So I think he believes he finds the right person but they're all short lived because he's ultimately hung up on his ex.
Sounds like he is dating around and just hasn't found the right person. That isn't a "failed relationship", that is par for the course. Sometimes I'll casually date for a couple of years before finding someone I want to commit to and wants to commit to me. That's cool.
Sometimes, the right person is like finding a needle in the Himalayas.
