Emotionally Distant Men Resource
I found an article I really like. It's on a site called www.squidoo.com where you can create your own "lens". Basically it's a place where you get to be an authority on the topic of your choice, so I thought why not? I created one (a lens) that needs some work, but it's a start. The title is Dating Tips for Women and while I was there I noticed an article that I liked. It's entitled Emotionally Distant Men and it's nice to see someone not simply repeating the usually advice such as, "Men just need to grow up." It seems obvious to me that she understands men pretty well.

i am seeing this guy i like and i have difficulty opening up. when we first hooked up he was like i was cool. yesterday i kind of mad him upset and then he was like things were not going to work out. well i wanted to be more conversational and just be able to let the topics flow. sometimes i think he makes me feel intimidated and i think this is what makes it hard for me. how do i get back on the right track with him so in the future we can have good conversations and he won't feel as if i am holding back? i really want to get to know him, but in some ways i think he is so opinionated and i do feel i am a good catch. what should i do? what do men like women to talk about with them. i do know some of the things he likes. i still need some help though. i haven't been on lots of dates. what do i do? i need this advice.
if someone was in a long term relationship and the other partner cheated and if they are willing to stay in the relationship, why would they keep bringing it up after so many times that you understood why you cheated in the first place.
I can't say I know the answer to your specific situation, but usually someone continues to bring up an old hurt repeatedly because they are still mad about something.
They can't let "it" go because something is still bothering them.
I need some help understanding my mans ways. For to years we have had and on and off relationships.. We both live in seperate places right now. However, he has asked me on several occassions to move in. However, I am hesitant. Things are great when we are together. It's all about me..I get nice gifts, dinners, vacations and am always introduced to his clients friends etc.with the upmost respect as his "girlfriend". Though when we are not together, it's a different story. It's late nights at the bars, no return phone calls.. It's live I do not exist. I really do not understand this behavior. My mother seems to think I am the "trophy girl" he wants just to look good on him arm. What gives?
The short version? He seems to want what he can't have. As to moving in with him....that would be one of the fastest ways to ruin your relationship. At least based on my experience.
In response to your recommendation of this "emotionally distant men" article: It's a gimic. It's an ad for an ebook. Like most internet self-help ads, the article follows a similar format: 1. identify a universal frustration. 2. tell people that the way they are trying to solve their problem is totally wrong and will never work. 3. claim you have a "secret button" that will magically solve all problems. 4. once they have bought your book the "secret button" turns out to be rather practical, common sense advice.
Look, communication and relationships are hard. If there was some magic solution we'd all be using it now. Relationships take work. expect to put in that work. You don't need to buy stuff on the internet in order to communicate with your partner.
lol, well said dude...
Just go say that same stuff you wrote here to your partner...
Thats communication....right? scared?
