Why do I run away every time a guy shows interest in me?

A female United States age 30-35, *epcolagrl12 writes:

What's my problem? I start to like a guy, and as soon as he starts liking me back, I run scared. It doesn't matter how sweet or genuine he is, I just don't like them anymore. It's as if I prefer the chase over the actual prize. This probably explains why I have never been in a serious relationship. I am 19, this should not be happening to me. What my problem, and how can I fix it? By the way..this is happening with a guy right now. I like him, but he is showing signs of being interested as well, and it is starting to scare me. Please help!

LazyGuy agony auntWhat makes you scared? Have you seen bad relationships in your past and want to avoid that?

It is possible that deep down you think relationships are bad and while on the one hand you are a normal women intrested in men, the thought of being in a relationship frightens you.

So, what is it that scares you about relationships? About going to the next level? About commitment?

Well you know and recognise what you are doing... so you have the power to choose not to do it.

Just try and stay with this guy for as long as you can.

Face your fear.

Tell yourself that you are not a slave to your instincts.

Good Luck!! xx
