I'm 21 and after several years of screwing around and having one-night stands I realised why I never had a meaningful relationship.
I've got intimacy issues, I think.
Throughout the Sixth Form and Uni now I had like 7-8 solid chances of getting a GF I would actually like. However every time our relationship (more like friendship) progresses to a stage where it is clear that we should be together, I bail.
As long as we're flirting in classes, kissing in nightclubs everything is cool, but after a few weeks when she clearly shows that she wants a relationship, I unconsciously cool down everything. I say unconsciously because I really like the girl but still for some reason can't go over the real relationship stage.
So how do I get over this? I would love to say that I should just push harder next time a potential GF appears, but believe me this is more of an unconscious process than anything else.
