I only enjoy the chase!

Ok, here's my situation. I am always attracted to girls who are let's say, unattainable. Whether they have boyfriends or are "out of my league", whatever... The thing is, whenever I see a realistic chance to "get" the girl who i have for so long admired, I find that I completely lose attraction to her! This has happened three times, I'm not sure what to do... I think I'm just destined never to be in a relationship!! :frown: Has anyone on here got the same problem?

Therapy is your friend.

Maybe you're scared that you won't be able to get the girl -so once you have a chance to -you immediately go off her to avoid disappointment.

More like if you do succeed you don't know what to do next....be brave and put in a little practice

I know what your going through, I do exactly the same thing. Whenever I meet a guy i flirt, they like me, i get uninterested after a week. its an unintentional viscious circle!

Womaniser? You're in love with an ideal and now you're stuck in it, but fair play to you for trying so hard. Try not to hurt their feelings though when you've "lost" it.:s-smilie:

I don't get it, how can someone be turned on by a guy/girl just because they want the satisfaction of trying to get them?:confused:

The rush, the feeling of being in control. This guy will fancy, chase, get and then get bored. He's basically thinking with his knob of cheese and the only thing to stop him is if a woman went and sliced off another piece! :biggrin:

The chase is crap. I hate it. I've been in that situation where I was the ''victim'', he liked me then when I'm interested he goes off me... THEN when I'm not interested. He's desperate to be 'with' me.

When I found out he was playing mind games... it put me off him and also he played with my emotions. I don't ever want to be in that pathetic situation EVER.

The whole cycle is ****e.

I have friends like that, the chase if fun for them but as soon as they actually get the guy they freak out and decide that they dont like them anymore, or like my other friend, she just enjoys flirting and accidently leads guys on. Its just somethink you have to live with.

Doesn't it just add to the intense mystery for a strange gentleman such as yourself? You could wake up fulfilled or you could equally wake up stone cold dead (but still fulfilled because I might be into all that necrophilia ****).

Besides its down to 12 warnings now and only 6 years with good behaviour.
