USCGAviator Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'll go first since I made this thread. Habit: I tend to sleep with every woman I meet within 1-3 dates. I'm honest that I tell them I'm not looking for a "girlfriend". When I think about it, I AM looking for a girlfriend, just haven't found one I wanna keep yet. About to get worse.... I'm dishonest in a way that I always had 3 or 4 regular FWB's on speed dial. Pretty grimy I know. Solution: I have already shut down and stopped contact with my FWB's. As for future dates, I'm gonna stop being a man whore and focus on what I'm looking for in a woman. I've been divorced for 2 years and always used that as a crutch and free pass to leave women that I already slept with and no longer interested in. Time to start being a real man now. NEXT!!!

USMCHokie Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Mistake 1: I don't go after women I want; instead I'll accept any woman who wants me. That is pretty much the catalyst for what starts out as an acceptable dating situation until I realize that I'm not all that interested, decide to continue dating her anyway, and then grow miserable and wish I was single and going after women that I actually wanted. Mistake 2: Repeating mistake 1. Other than that, I'm pretty good at this whole dating nonsense... Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've been divorced for 2 years and always used that as a crutch and free pass to leave women That's why I avoid men who've been divorced less than two years. I hear stories like this from men over and over. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DuchessKaye Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I only have 1 bad dating habit: I always look on a guy's success level and financial situation. Result: I wasn't able to spread a wider net to find and get a good catch out of those not-so-successful guys but with a good heart and ready to settle down. Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Bad dating habit: I stick around in the other person's life for too long if I feel we have a strong connection. Once I work out that we are incompatible (regardless how much we like each other) or if he gives an indication that he is thinking that way, I should trust that judgement and cut contact at least for a while. Downside: The result is on/off relationships that ultimately don't work out long term no matter how much we get on on a good day. Upside: The breakups are not as traumatic as I get to know the other person and understand his nuances. A cleaner cut would be more painful in the short term, perhaps traumatic. I don't have any lasting trust issues. Link to post Share on other sites
Meg717 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 My bad habit is that if I meet a guy I like, I get way too excited way too fast! I start over analyzing everything and then that creates unnecessary anxiety. Luckily, I can keep all of these emotions to myself!! I need to learn to relax, go with the flow, and just see where things go.. Link to post Share on other sites
