If they're keen and kind I don't want to know them, whereas if they treat me unwell I can't stay away! What am I doing?

A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Im 41, single female, never married, no kids! So, "whats wrong with you?" I hear you ask, well - lots of people do ask me that!

I seem to have an issue with guys in that if they are keen and kind and a bit full on, then I dont want to know, however, if they are a bit of a challenge, dont treat me too well and arent particularly nice to me - I cant stay away.

I understand what Im doing but dont know why and cant seem to change my behaviour.

I would just like to say Thank you to the person who took the time to answer my question. Just that in itself made me feel good, the fact that you understood made me feel even better.

If I think about what you say, even though I have a good, well paid job (in which I have to do a lot of presenting and decision making) a nice car and all the things that go with that, I think perhas I DO have low self-esteem and maybe I need to consider this. Everyone thinks I am confident, pretty, funny etc etc but sometimes its just a cover up act - I feel scared and ugly and the jokes are just to make up for that.

Thank you again for your reply, Im glad that you have come through this and your message makes a lot of sense.

Right, Im off to look for that book...
