I'm out the door like a gunshot.All the bf's I've had are really quite clingy and I REALLY need my own space. I've tried explaining this but after that they just get all mopey and stuff. I know it's actually a compliment, but I just don't like it. I'm an archaeologist and I'm often going all over the world, mostly Egypt and S. America and I LOVE it. It's a fantastic job and I love to travel and get all down and dirty and dusty in the fantastic scenery.When I'm out there, I genereally have some 'holiday' flings which are fantastic fun but then I miss them afterwards and I don't know why since I'm not much of a commiter. But the people on holiday/work always seem to be way better than any of my serious bf's.All my other friends at home (London) are settling down etc. and I'm not.Is there something wrong with me??Please help!Thanks for reading my babblexx

You sound just like me. I'm very jealous of your job.
The problem with strong independent fun women like us is that guys fall for us very easily. They think we are what they need in a girl, when actually they want a girl who will cuddle us and be boring on the sofa with them. I actually had one guy ask when I was going to start being a normal girlfriend.
We have huge novelty value and then they get clingy and want to change us.
However, there ARE strong independent fun guys out there. I'm married to one and we each do our own thing and then have the best time together. We actually don't get on if we spend too many weeks in a row together.
You just have to keep looking. As for all your friends settling down, yeah that's fine for them, but if it's not what you want then that's fine!
Good Luck!! xx
