One of the things I'm noticing a lot of in dating women my age (I'm almost 27, dating girls 23-28) is that they're all coming off their party-phase and looking...too hard...to settle down. And I think a lot of it's driven by that idea of, "I dont' want to be a slut forever".
I'm usually pretty quick with the sexual stuff. I want to find out early-on if the girl is sexual or has hang-ups/inhibitions, but it seems like as soon as things start turning intimate, the girl immediately wants to lock-on and be exclusive. It's kind of "ASD after the fact". We hook up, and then she thinks, "OMG what did I just do? I don't want to be a slut! We need to BE together!" and she starts pushing really hard for something more permanent/exclusive...or at least acting that way.
Now I could just deceive them and pretend to be into the whole relationship idea, but that brings a whole new set of problems...namely that I can't date other girls because if she thinks she's the only one, no telling WHEN she'll show up and ruin things.
Now here's the funny part...I actually LIKE the idea of having a girlfriend. I'm tired of the endless stream of one-nighters and F-buddies. I'd like to have a woman I can relate to and take places and get close to.
BUT...I have a very zen approach to relationships. I've always gotten myself into trouble when I've rushed into the idea of a relationship, so my idea is to just chill with the girl, go out, have fun, have sex, do all that good stuff, and if a relationship is meant to happen, it'll form on its OWN pace, not mine and not hers.
But that's not good enough for the ladies...they need it RIGHT NOW to alleviate their anti-slut anxiety. So they try to get all close right away and when I tell them to chill out and give it time to develop, they go running back to their ex-boyfriend or some other guy who will jump right into a relationship...or pretend to...just to get that level of commitment.
It's just a shame these women are so insecure, because a lot of them are REALLY good women that I COULD become involved with over time. But I don't like feeling that pressure that if someone better WERE to come along in the early stages of the relationship, that I would just ruin her world.
As such...it always turns out that just when I start becoming INTERESTED in them, they start thinking that they're wasting time with me and leave.
I guess I expect a lot, and some of the things I look for in a woman aren't exactly "fair"...who knows...maybe I'm just not READY for a steady relationship with a woman. But still...it seems like after the first screw, they all immediately want to get me on lockdown. I'm just not comfortable with that.
Any advice?
