no_radar Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm male, in my early 20's and relatively successful at getting girls interested in me, however once we get to the so called 'courting' stage I seem to self destruct......every time!! I, as many others spend a lot of time texting girls during the courting stage, at first I'm fine, play it cool, don't worry about things, but after a period of time always find myself saying silly or soppy things in texts or conversations that then start to make girls back off or lose interest. It's not like i'm contacting them all the time or being needy, just that i always seem to say the wrong things at the wrong time. I do find I fall for girls on an infrequent basis, but when I do i fall head over heals. I'm very independent having lived on my own since 14 and can find it hard to let people entirely into my life, probably subconsciously putting up some kind of barrier for myself. I have never had a long term girlfriend at 22 years old and I always get asked why I don't have a girlfriend by mates and other girls as it seems there is usually some girl that is interested in me. I'm getting to know a girl at the moment who I think likes me and we are soon going to a festival together, sometimes we speak and text everyday and sometimes not speak to each other for a week or more as we both live very busy lives. The thing is I am starting to feel myself falling for her and I just know that I will be on the cusp of again saying something stupid or being too soppy. Why do I do this, starting to think i'm socially retarded when it comes to the whole dating thing?! Grrr
