I mean, doing things for her, helping her and showing her your affection, not too soon, can that cause her losing interest?Any ideas? Reply to this Question Share |

maybe it was just cause I set my own boundaries too low. Did a lot for her without getting anything back....and she released her bad mood sometimes on me.
I noticed that, dating a very independent and dominant woman, I kinda losing myself and attend to get closer instead of keeping a lil distance´...(in that case it´s the first time, I am not that secure and confident about myself...don´t know why..)
I think I have to work on me to be more a challenge, right?!

So if you ever figure it out , write back let me know, its funny we fall head over heals for them , then they dump us, for a guy who treats them like sh.t, then they wonder why they can't find a good guy, an they never even think about us, an the pain is real, it happens to women too.Don't change I thought about it, I can smile for I know I treated them like angles. I just wonder if they ever do think about how they screw up with us.

What llifton said. I've never been attracted to anyone who wasn't nice and empathetic. But I've also never been attracted to someone who wasn't confident and independent. They are not exclusive. Be nice, just don't be clingy, don't put her on a pedestal, and don't be a doormat.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
Surest way to lose a girl, or to not have them being attracted to you in the first place is to be Mr NiceGuy.
Be Mr Confident. Never be Mr NiceGuy.

I don't think it's being too nice that's specifically the problem. It's more along the lines of that niceness being construed as too clingy and needy. And potentially too available and not independent enough.
That's my take on it.
