So all my friends think I have "lost puppy syndrome", that being when a girl shows me attention I become her puppy. I follow her around constantly give her anything she wants, treat her like a queen and dote on her affectionately.

I don't think its a bad thing. In my opinion, my role in a relationship is to make the woman feel loved, appreciated, sexy, wanted, and special. So I do what I can to show her that she is. Also I think it's a woman's role to make the man feel appreciated, strong, and special. Not all of my ex's have done this for me but it's nice when they do.

What do you think forum?

Am I a romantic?

Or.

Am I a codependent fool?

Its nice that you treat a lady well but it can be too much at times. I can't speak for other ladies but a guy doting on me would drive me crazy. A woman doesn't want a puppy dog; she wants a man. I guess all I am saying is do it in moderation and don't smother her.

None of those things are a bad thing but you can't make her your whole life. You have to make her a part of your life otherwise as navygirl said she will feel smothered. Women will take advantage of this and walk all over you if you let them. You have to be able to stand up for yourself and to her if need be.

Your a romantic, your also very, very young. You'll find the balance and women will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Doting on one you love is not a bad thing, as long as it's done like a man and not a stray puppy.

Codependent fool...someone has to tell it like it is, might as well be me.

Quoted for truth.

THAT is what he needs to hear....Man up

I think it just depends on the woman you are looking for. Also, you should be carefeull in that if come across a controler or deviant woman you might get taken advantage of. It think it is important to remember that woman are people just like men...and that it might be a good idea to just be friends and learn more about who they are...before you turn on the charm and rose pedaled pathways..

i would take care of me first..starting with eating

roko

I think you need a hooker.

Now it all depends on how much you sucking up to her in my words, Hope you dont take it wrong, I love a romantic man, But I was seeing a guy that did the same thing and I felt smothered. I saw what he did with other girls after me and most the time i sorta brushed alot of it off but the girls after me, use to talk to my son and use to think he was freaky. They hated him even watching them put on makeup. He would even steal for them, Taking chances he shouldnt.
I sure hope you dont go that far.
But they also control him and I tried to encourage him to stand up for himself. He more vocal etc. So he wsa more an equal in a relationship,
When I was married? I loved my ex dearly, and we spoiled eachother rotten but we had our alone times, and this is the 1 thing this person didn';t know how to give ppl, their distance?
My son is similar to me, He spoils his GF rotten but he makes sure they dont take advantage of him, Thats what I see happen alot to that 1 guy alot. Id hate to see girls take advantage of you in any way, If they dont show you equal love and affection right off, then I would step back,,,loo at the situation from the outside in, you may fel very insecure also when they dont give that same affection back,,, Dont you?
Being a cosmetologist? I have been around many dif types of men, I saw more men that were ike that that were either BI or gay. Now dont get me wrong, I am not saying you are, I don know that this 1 i dated was bi curious. he def had a few more female croms then male.
I could def put makeup on him and he put on my ciorset and def looked like a girl. Long hair and all.
However, he is becoming alot more masculine but still lets the girls control him,Then they get bored and he is hurt bad.
So look at it in your perspective and you may be loving and such but try to look at it from the outside in, If you hear ppl say something, Maybe you may want to back up a tad and see what your doing to much of. Personally , I love surprises.
becareful
XOXOXO

Sometimes the lost puppy gets hit by the speeding car.

co-dependant fool.?..or is it insecurities showing through?..needing the woman to validate your manhood maybe?
or to give you a sense of self cause your needy?
theres a lot to be said for being strong and independant..

or a shirt?

Desparate, co-dependant, low self esteem, needy, obsessive compulsive, stalker ... comes to mind right off hand.

But that's just me.... I could be wrong.

P.S. and that's not romantic.




And the above is an expectation most women would find it impossible to fake, so you better already be "strong and special." Seeing as how you come off needy, I doubt it. Of course both 'strong' and 'special' have various different interpretations.

Find yourself. Know who you are.

and quite a few protein shakes... that way your pants stay up. jk

Balance is the key to all things

Just don't piddle on the carpet or chew up expensive shoes. Otherwise, as long as you are being yourself there is surely someone who is exactly right for you.
