Bad luck streak with females?

Post Reply New Topic

The sad thing is when I think in the positive something bad usually happens.

When I think in the negative bad things STILL happen to me.

When I ignore and think nothing's wrong (neutral) something f*cking goes wrong.

This has just always made me stressed and on-edge regarding relationships, as no matter what I think something happens.

Every failure has either been because I don't know why or hasn't actually been my fault whatsoever.

The first girl, I did everything right, she just wasn't interested and 'only saw me as a friend', and wasn't interested in dating 'anyone' at the time. She changes her mind about a week later, she falls for a male friend even though she said she wasn't interested in dating anynone to me and this male friend is now her f*cking fiance (technically, but I don't take their little proposal seriously because 1. their SEVENTEEN 2. It's f•cking marriage 3. It took them 6 weeks to kiss, less than 3 months to become engaged, which is absolutely ludicrous).

The second was a hateful and intolerant person, which is sad considering she was such a nice girl. She can't 'deal with most people', unforutnately she just found me too annoying I think. She dislikes me but oh apparently she 'dislikes "everyone"'. Not just this, but her horrible ex wouldn't stop trying to get back together with her, even going so far as to get her sent to the school psychiatrist and claiming she was a suicidal psychopath, etc. She was also going through a lot of other dark drama at the time.

The third one liked me back at first but then decided to only be friends because she felt we're too smiliar. To be honest, I felt uncomfortable as well being so similar, but still.

Strange she didn't pick it up that we were similar when she had a crush on me. I did talk to her all the time and you'd have to be blind as a bat not to see this guy had 'a lot' in common with her. I think she just b•llshitted me with a weak excuse 'we're too similar I need guy different because I like to "discover" them I believe in opposites attract" oh really? Yet you were really so blind to see I was nowhere near your opposite when we both liked each other?

The fourth, my first girlfriend, initially broke up with me due to 'only wanting to be friends' and I accidentally mentioned sex early, and she feels very strongly about these things. I didn't even say I wanted it, in fact I clearly said I didn't, but also said 'that will happen when it happens. Maybe a month, two, maybe much longer.' She misinterpreted my words.

We ended up getting back together but made too many mistakes in one night. My mother made me bring condoms to her house, not my own choice. I accidentally pressured her to take her clothes off, not naked, but just shirt and shorts. She would have still had her underwear on and still did. The problem was, being the aspie I am, I didn't realize she was uncomfortable. She was also giving me mixed signals earlier. I would try and tickle her or touch her in certain ways and she would say 'no', but then ask me 'why did you stop?' whenever I did. What can I say? I thought she was doing the same thing. Either way, I apologized immediately when I got home, and she lead me to believe i was forgiven.

She lead me on for 5 more days before dumping me again because she 'lost her feelings for me' again. Frustrated, I complained in anger to friends that I was dumped yet again.

She found out and for the next few weeks/month, every time she'd see me she'd ask about it. I did not lie, I did not deny it. I just said I went to friends for advice, much like how every time she had an issue with me she went to her mother, friends, etc. and she hypocritically criticised me for it.

She also got a new boyfriend just 3 days after breaking up with me. I did not accuse her of cheating, nor did I call her a 'sl•t', but asked if she did. There is no appropriate time nor place to ask, it's just something that, if you're going to ask, you do it. Either way she again misinterpreted my words and made me out to be a bad guy, especially by, you guessed it, accusing me of calling her that disgusting word.

Finally, it reached a breaking point where, annoying me as usual with her questions regarding me going to my friends for advice, I started to be a smart-alec towards her because I was sick of her asking and just wanted to let it go. She yelled personal, private information regarding her and my relationship publicly, I did the same back and yelled at her to 'F•ck up' two times.

The fifth girl decided she only saw me as a friend.

My second and current girlfriend, who I've been with for nearly one month in 4 days, things seem to be going fine. But once again I'm worried/stressed something will happen to f*ck this up as well. And the sad part is, it doesn't matter if I think positive, negative or ignore it.

Thinking positive makes me blindly ignorant of issues and sets me up to fall hard, thinking negative usually makes accurate predictions of negative events, and thinking neutrally usually results in something bad anyway.

What can I do to overcome this constant failure?

There isn't really much you can do besides not date at all, and for you I'm guessing that isn't really an option. People are individuals and you can only ever hope that they'll be intelligent and thoughtful with their decisions.

Well, firstly, you say that you've tried being positive/negative/neutral about your relationships and you say you're having a bad luck streak with females, yet you've been thriving in a month-long relationship with one. Break-ups and unrequited love are things that happen all the time, especially in teenage/young adult years whilst we and our peers are still formulating our identities. You say that no matter how you approach your relationships mentally, they still always end, but the one you're in currently is still going fine. And anyway, unless you're planning to marry/spend the rest of your life with your partner, your relationship will have to end at some stage, right?

I guess my advice would be to discard one-track thinking altogether and just see the situation for what it is. A good first step would be to identify why you're afraid your current girlfriend will break up with you. If it's because you're afraid of the past repeating itself, you need to realise that this is an entirely different relationship from your previous, and it's thus unreasonable to expect the same outcome based on the past.

I think you should air your fears to her. This way, whatever her response, you'll be able to put your mind at ease. She's meant to be your girlfriend after all, so you should be able to entrust her with such information, and come to resolutions about any issues that may be lingering on either side of your relationship. If she tells you she isn't thinking of ending it, you can put your mind at ease. If she tells you she wants to end it, at least you'll get the truth as opposed to being strung along.

I don't think he should express those fears to her--it would make it seem that he lacks confidence.

Instead, he should continue enhancing the relationship through his contributions to it.

Is the avatar you, Outrider?

Do not become too emotionally attached without a strong level of mutual interest or reciprocation.

It is best to not become emotionally attached with someone until you have been dating for over six months, it sounds like you are falling too fast..

Go with the flow, Sir.

And don't call college/university aged girls "ma'am." A few might like it--but most don't. Wait until someone is 25 (if then!)

Unless that happens to be a custom in Australia.

I guess you should keep practicing and have faith in yourself. One day you might be successful.

LOL...Dapper comes from the 19th century, perhaps even the 18th, and is British.

Totally Radical comes from a totally different time and place. It only really became popular outside of surfer culture in the 1980s. It's American. It became "rad" after a while.

LOL....Don't get yourself into the habit of trying to sound like a "Valley Person/Girl."

You're right: no woman likes to be called "miss."

It's really a hard question as it relates to women under 35. But ma'am really isn't that great. Ms. is only used formally, so you don't presume that someone is either married or single. Maybe just call her by her name? Or if you know her well, "Sweetie" or something like that.

I see your outfit as being reminiscent of somebody from the Jazz Age--and somebody from the 1980s seeking to look like somebody from the Jazz Age. Preppy in the sweater.
