Why do some women...

Why do some women who are in a bad relationship...continue to stay in the relationship hoping that their guy will change into the man they desire instead of trying to find the guy that is the man you desire. Why stay and try to change him when what you're really looking for is elsewhere?

You could try "mysterious". Some women might see you and automatically assume that they know you already. Maybe that's why they think some guys are "boring". I think I go a little overboard with the mysterious stuff, but it really does work sometimes.

So you would be okay with your daughter dating any guy that came her way just because we're all equal in God's eyes? I get that a coke habit and cursing occasionally are both sins, but that coke habit is going to have a much bigger negative impact on her and their relationship. Being incredibly self serving and not caring about her needs at all is going to affect her and their relationship way more than being 5-10 minutes late sometimes.

As far as not being boring, most people usually don't really need to make big changes. I always heard if you want women to be interested in you, be interesting. We just sometimes get into a rut. I know in college it's easy to only talk about class, majors, graduation dates, tests, teachers, commutes, etc. Asking someone what the highlight of their day has been instead of how work was, how class was, etc. is going to be more engaging. Flirt and have fun. If you do what you enjoy and really enjoy life, people are going to be drawn to that.

I just don't understand. we have a lot in common. and I"m not just saying that...also in one step she ignores me and another she makes it a point to say hi. its got me confused. the best thing I can think of is that she isn't interested in being anything more than friends and that at the same time she values our friendship which I do too I just wish it would turn into something more.

I was afraid I was being misunderstood.



I'm not saying we should get with people no matter what they do cause we are all the same in His eyes. God forbid.



No. This morning I read Romans chapter 3 & it was letting us know we are nothing without God. We can't judge each other & say this person is better or a more quality person than another. I mean we can & do but that's us being prideful and arrogant in our choice of salvation.



I have a man friend who is a Jehovah's Witness. We match up in every other way. He is slightly gangsta like me, I love his intelligence, sense of humor and his style. We've debated & talked our theology to death and we can find no common ground. So we are parting ways as friends. It's just our choices. He is no less quality than anybody else.

If she isn't interested, she very likely isn't interested. You very likely aren't going to be able to change that, so if you want to remain friends with her, you have to be okay with it staying that way.

If I understand this correctly Storm, you want her to act in a predictable manner that makes sense to you so you can figure out how she feels. Sorry son, not going to happen. At least not yet. It took me at least a year to figure out which way was up after I kicked my ex out.



It is quite possible that she doesn't know what she thinks or feels and that they bounce back and forth like a yoyo. Mix that up with not knowing how she feels about her child's dad and those emotions bouncing around, add Grandma into the mix and it is more than the average abuse victim can sort through, so yes, she withdraws. When her emotions swing the other direction, she makes sure she sees and talks to you. Her thoughts and emotions are still in chaos. You see her as being free, but she's just learning emotional baby step again, and it's a long road to recovery.



PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE. If you can't deal with the bouncing emotions (which is understandable), you may need to put some distance between yourself and her. I can understand your fear that if you withdraw from her, she may go back to her ex. However, if that is what she does, then, she never really was God's choice to begin with. Trusting God can be teeth gritting at times.

Hey storm, if you don't mind me throwing my two cents in, you just gotta let it go.

Storm, I'm so sorry that your friendship w/ this girl isn't going in the direction you had hoped. Having been in a few abusive relationships myself, I can say that you've been given some good wisdom by others here. I don't really have anything to add here that wouldn't be repetitive, but just wanted to let you know that you and this girl are both in my prayers.
