Pre & Post Going Out

Lots of people who I know seem to say that they are more interested in a person BEFORE they actually start going out and then they lose interest in them afterwards.

I am a girl, 17 yrs old, and I find this a very big problem. I like chasing guys.. making them fall for me.. I really like the whole flirting thing.. but as soon as me and a guy starts going out, I lose interest just like that. I mean soon after kisses don't even mean anything, it becomes like a boring routine.

Do you guys/girls think the same thing?
Are you attracted more to a person who you haven't started going out with or do you tend to like them more AFTER you've started going out??

I've never had a long term relationship. Longest relationship was about 2 months, though I have only been out with 4-5 people anyway. I feel like I'll never have a proper relationship!

I have to say, exact same thing happens to me. I'm putting it down to not having met the right girl(s) yet.

i think that's kinda normal, i think it also has a lot to do with being ready to settle down

I'm exactly the same. I lose interest once I've got a guy interested, it's awful. I'm now at the point where I'm scared to go after a guy in case I change my mind quickly again and mess him about.
