Speaking of psychobabble...I have a hunch he's afraid of love, and that is why he has 'avoided' it in the past. He is intentionally picking women he will not be threatened by (threatened with feeling something for her).

This may explain age appropriate issues. If you dont much pick someone your general age, you can avoid having shared historic or social references/experiences. I dont know that this is an issue but since its been brought up...


Until our chum commits to finding a match rather than a body, he will be successful in avoiding what he fears.


And at 40+ relationships, that says commitment issues to me.


Do you think there necessarily has to be a correlation? I've been in more relationships than that, but I would love to find someone I could commit to. There just isn't anybody committable (?) out there....




It just seems like lots and lots of very short relationships. Why jump around from relationship to relationship that often? Does a person like that get bored with women quickly or something?


I can't speak for anyone else, but I will admit to getting bored with most of my gfs fairly quickly. On the other hand, I didn't go into those relationships with the intention (or expectation) of getting bored, it just always seemed to work out that way.


I wasn't suggesting you or the OP goes into relationships with the intention of getting bored, but if I were getting to know someone who had that many relationships, I'd have to wonder if they got bored often. Not saying that it necessarily has to be a bad thing, but it would be something to consider before getting in a relationship with them.

Lover's don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

Il be honest i get bored easily but if i met a sincere genuine woman who had a heart of gold then i would just stand in awe respecting and appreciating her inner beauty.. that would be enough for me in one sense..The other senses.. would be mental stimulation. I just love a smart and intelligent lady, someone who can hold deep and meaningful conversations with me and not sit there talking about getting her nails done or the next line of jimmy choo shoes coming out.. Lastly for me the sex has to be fantastic, out of this world.. im a very sexual man with a veratious appetite and well my lady would need to be the same way inclined. Saying that i do not look at women as meat, i never have done, i was raised with morals and taught to respect women and i do and i have many female friends who i have no expectations with.. besides didnt a buddhist once say expectations lead to dissapointments???

I don't get bored easily actually but I do not expect to get
entertained. Instead when I am with someone we usually just
laissez le bon temps rouler.

I can't say that I really get bored with dating. Then again, I'm picky about who I date and I don't date just for the hell of dating. Things may not work out for one reason or another, but it's not because of boredom.

To those who get bored easily when dating, are you not picky at all about who you date? Or, do you just not know what you're looking for? Or what?

Why do you think you get bored?

What do you consider to be a relationship? One date? 3 dates? 5 dates? Just curious, since it sounds like you move pretty quickly.

Back in the days when this was happening to me, I think it was because I felt I needed to be with someone, and it didn't much matter who it was. I was not picky at all, and I really had very little idea of what I wanted. It was kind of like a "peer pressure" thing -- people would say "I can't believe you're still single," so I felt like I had to go "fix" that. Whether it made any sense or not, which it usually didn't.

It wasn't until my divorce that it occurred to me that I was perfectly capable of living without having a "significant other." It was really only at that point I started figuring out what I wanted, and what I didn't want.
