sigh.
like the message board junkie that i am, i see this nice little service given by codename....so why the heck not:
ok, I can't say I have a problem with one guy in particular. but, in the past year i've been out on a kazillion dates, some that extended for only a date or two. some that were stretched to a month or so.
usually what ends up happening is that the guys i date want a girl to be a father figure to (which i see as really manipulative and unproductive) and they really have no idea what to do with me, as i'm super smart, self-aware, and self-reliant (and i'm a hottie. i'm not afraid to say it. it's not egotisical. it's just decent self-esteem......that most girls dont have). I want someone to be _on_par_ with me, instead of wanting to help me and be "above" me on some weird dating ranks.
anyway, all these relationships end up with either me ending it realizing they are going to be manipulative and fatherly, or them ending it because they dont know what to do with me, and thus, they resent me.
haha. perhaps i'm not asking the question of "how do i fix this", but instead "does anyone know any 20-something snappy-smart, spiritual, artistic, down-to-earth guys that dont want to be some sort of strange parental figure for their significant other?"
haha!
