Re: Not A Bash BUT an Opinion please

She has a history of "spinning yarns" it used to be every week there was a new issue in her life, weather it be men, her son, her daughter in law. I could go on but the older posters know the story

[ Edited ]

You asked for opinions, so I am going to give it.

 

Once again you are beeing needy, clingy and demanding.

 

You are demanding that he texts you every single morning and night.

 

By doing that you are pushing him  far, far away.

 

You demanded that this guy be there at your beck and call, for whatever whim that you may have.

 

Guys do NOT like that.

 

No wonder he stopped texting you.

 

I would too, if any guy made those demands of me.

 

 

 

You still think that everything has to be a fairytale romance.

 

Real life doesn't work that way.

 

You think that you NEED a man in your life in order to be happy and complete. You think that you MUST have a man in your life. You think that you HAVE to have a man in your life.

 

 

That is totally and completely and 100% false thinking.

 

No woman NEEDS to have a man in her life in order to be happy and "complete".

 

He probably was interested in you as a friend, but then you and went and started to put all of these demands on him, and that's why he has stopped texting you.

 

Not because of his mother.

 

Not because he's hiding something (which I highly doubt that he is)

 

It's because of you.

 

YOU drove him away.

 

If you hadn't been so demanding of him, he might still be around.

 

 

You are so desperate to have a man in your life, any man, that when he starts to show the slightest bit of interest, you immediately go in to hyper drive.

 

Men can smell desperation a mile away, and it's a major turn OFF for them.

 

How about taking things slow for a change?

 

Have you ever heard of playing hard to get?

 

Men like the chase.

 

Instead of DEMANDING that he MUST text you every morning and night, let him text, call and visit on his own schedule.

 

How about letting a relationship develop and blossom naturally, instead of trying to FORCE it to happen.

 

And the line about your landlord having a fit over changing the locks?

 

That's total b.s.

 

I can guarantee you that when one tenant moves out, the locks are changed before the new tenant moves in, so I highly doubt that your landlord would have a problem with you changing the locks.

 

In fact, they wouldn't want a possible lawsuit on their hands if they didn't change the locks after you gave someone your key, because as someone else said, he could have had copies made. 

 

They wouldn't want to run the risk of you suing them, should anything bad happen to you, because he had a copy, and they didn't change the locks.

 

It's that simple.

 

And as for the comment of his having said that he found an angel and he clipped her wings to keep you from flying away, yeah, that isn't "romantic", it's downright creepy.

 

It smacks of ownership.

 

But, then again, you wanted to own him with your unrealistic demands.

Do you want a boyfriend or a handyman? You appear to be a bit needy and that would scare any man away.  I would recommend you seek counseling.

People (myself included) have been telling her that for years.

 

She won't go to one, because they won't tell her what she wants to hear, which is "Awww! Poor baby!".

Re: Not A Bash BUT an Opinion please

You seem needy,   Not good for a relationship.

I may be crazy but a couple should start out kind of equal in the give-&-take.

Check your expectations at the door & just do what feels right.

Also I am suspicious that he may have a wife.

Do you ever go to his house?

I totally agree, he is just not into me...........and I am glad to see him when he comes but bascially after telling him what bothers me and he keeps doing it, I am done and really do not miss him because I am getting nothing.......I needed help to wash my car to get the tree sap that blows in the wind on my car and he said GO GET A BRUSH and do it yourself your are not helpless..............I wanted help getting the sap off because it is dried on and I don't have the strength so I paid someone to HANDWASH IT and they used a brush and my car has brush strokes in circles ugh I HOPE IT COMES OUT IF THEY WAX IT.............so he would not even help me wash my car I did not ask him to wash it.  I am just glad he picked me up at the airport and he was kind and did give me $30 in tip money for the plane.  STILL, you don't call and check on me...........He has my house key because I needed to leave it with him so he could come by and check on things while I was away but I do not believe he would ever steal anything.  I need to get my key back.


You do not need to get your key back.  You need to get your locks changed, snap out of it and move on with life.
