Woman keeps getting back together because he's persisting

[irc333]

Apparently, this female friend of mine has dumped this guy twice already.

 

They had dated a year, she wasn't into him, but he is in Luuuuuve with her, she dumps him because she's just not feelin' it with him.

 

She starts to date other guys, but HE keeps being persistent...and she agrees to give it another shot...that lasted just a couple of weeks.

 

Guess what the guy still keeps pursuing her, not stalkerish, but still occasionally "popping in" to say "Hi".

 

Now, she's getting back together with him, apparently her counselor and her friends made her discover she has her "walls" up (whatever that is) and he is trying to find to penetrate those walls. She is recognizing the fact that she COULD very well be giving him mixed signals.

 

Think he'll have success or just move on? Is this how normal relationships start off?

I wouldnt call it normal, but she wouldnt keep going back if she didnt have feelings

She probably has dickinitis bro. (credit to my friend for that phrase)

 

Some girls get hooked on the sex and can't leave the guy. Even if she finds nothing else attractive about him.

 

Now, she's getting back together with him, apparently her counselor and her friends made her discover she has her "walls" up (whatever that is) and he is trying to find to penetrate those walls.

 

*sigh*...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too easy.

No, I wouldn't say that's how normal relationships start off at all.

 

Will he move on? How much abuse he's willing to take will determine when; but, yeah, eventually he will.

He's a backburner guy. She'll use him to entertain herself until the day comes when she meets a guy who really floats her boat.

The counseling part is the key. Do the therapy, do the introspection, grow, then date.

 

His persistence is a sideshow, IMO. Most guys are persistent if they're allowed to be. Most women I've known in life can cut a man off at the knees (polite version) without blinking a mascara endowed eyelash. If she's in therapy, there's your canary. I wouldn't extrapolate any conclusions from this anecdote to your own dating milieu. Good luck.
