I lost my father when I was 7yrs old, so didn't have a father figure. My step father didn't really give me any advice either.I've always treated women as my equal, that's my mistake. Most women want a man who is more dominant.Sh*t, I really really liked her too. I've been out with lots of girls but I could imagine living with her, having a family, the lot!If only I'd smelled the coffee early. Thinking about it, she's given me enough clues in the past. Her teasing me all the time was her attempt to make me react in a dominant manner.

 Yeuch! Dominant males turn me off! I was seeing a control freak of a bloke donkey's back, whenever I made a decision about my lifem (ie. work, pets, hair dye), he felt that his views take more presedence over mine!
I like being treated as an equal, I worked damned hard to be considered as such - my bf and I treat each other to meals, I like spoiling my guy ^_^
Not every woman wants a dominant guy, as long as there is mutual respect, love and trust - everyone's happy!

tallbloke is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI don't think I've been a doormat as such.I've had a string of bad relationships though. To be honest, I only feel happy taking control in a relationship if I feel secure myself. This relationship didn't start brilliantly to be honest, I got the feeling she still had feelings for someone else and that made me feel insecure.I guess that I need to work on my own self confidence and perhaps I should have broken up with her a while back, that way she might have made her mind up what she wanted.I'm not a dominant male though, so it would be something of an act for me.

 I guess you're not writing for advice . . . just wanting to get something off your chest, eh?
Now you know. Women want a guy to take charge, be in control, and comfort them, all at the same time. Nobody wants a doormat . . . for long, anyway.
Good luck!
