How Can I Stop Myself From Choosing The Same Guys?
I'm not very fortunate when it comes to relationships or dating in general. I've read many articles that said I'm probably the problem. However, I find that the changes I try to make within myself make no difference with the end result. I don't have a low self esteem or struggle with loving myself. I do enjoy my own company. But I find that whenever I meet a guy, he initially is interested me (approaches me first, asks for my number, contacts me etc.) and then disappears. They all seem to come to this realization that they really aren't ready to be with someone and I guess I'm this big reality check...which is fine but it always leaves me hanging. I'm not clingy at all and will gladly give someone his space if he needs it...I just want them to communicate that to me and they never do they just...disappear. How do I avoid getting involved with people who think they want a relationship, then decide they don't want one shortly after?

Every time I search online I get results for seizures, earthquakes, or the drink. Is it derived from Shakespeare?
2 AnswersGenealogy9 years agoWhy was I chased down on the road?
I was coming home from dance practice after 12am and there were two cars ahead of me. The one in front of me (white car) started turning into a left turn lane without his indicator on and then abruptly swerved back in front of me. I could have hit him so naturally I honked. The car in the other lane (black car) switched lanes and drove in front of the white car. Now seeing the right lane clear, and knowing that I would have to eventually make a right turn, I switched into the right lane. Then, the black and white car swerved in front of me as I was making a right turn. The black car then stopped in the right lane and the white car pulled up beside it. As i drove around them the white car and black car drove up close behind me and chased me home. I drove right into my drive way as opposed to reversing like i normally do to avoid being hit by the cars. I parked my car but remained inside and the two cars were sitting in front of my house. One of the guys in the car pulled down his window and said something but I couldn't hear. As I was reaching for my phone to call for help the two cars sped off. I'm pretty sure they are not drunk. Their actions were deliberate. Maybe it was a result of road rage but they were swerving and braking in front of me before I even honked my horn. I thought maybe they were racing but racing requires speed and they were clearly focused on blocking my way. What were they trying to accomplish?
3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture9 years agoWhat is wrong with my memory?
I work as a waitress and people will ask me things as I'm walking by. I'll say "sure i'll get that" and then instantly forget that they even asked me anything. Also, if I'm told to do something I will say "okay" and then instantly forget. But my memory is good in other matters. I can remember the order of things that have happened and I can remember pretty specifically something that happened a long time ago. I'm also good at remembering things that I have studied because my mind remembers things by associating words with colours and numbers. For example, if "ignorance" was the third reason for a conflict, ignorance would remind me of the colour orange and the colour orange would remind me of the number 3 so I would remember that. But my short term memory is horrible. Is it because of my diet? should I see a doctor?
5 AnswersMental Health10 years agoWhat is wrong with my audio?
OK I have a Tascam US-144 audio interface. I have speakers that i connect through the interface and then the interface is connected to my laptop through a usb port. When I listen to music through my speakers or any audio output that i connect to my interface the song will randomly freeze and then keep going. It is really annoying when trying to record. My speakers work fine wen connected to other equipment and the speakers in my laptop work fine as well. I tried different usb ports and got the same result. I have no idea what the problem is. What is wrong with my audio and how can I fix this???

Software1 decade agoWhat's going on with this boy?
Ok i had a birthday party at my house and this random guy shows up with a group of my friends and i didn't know him. Someone told me he wanted to dance with me. I asked him if it was true and he said ya so i danced with him. he was cute n all so i chilled with him a little...i tried talkin to him but he seemed shy...he would give me one worded answers. I asked him if i was makin him uncomfortable n all n he sed no...i said if i was to let me kno cuz i normally dont approach guys like that. so i kept hangin around him thinkin hes just shy. he left without askin for my number or anything so i figured if he was interested he would have asked. One of my friends said he was naturally shy...the other said hes not shy at all. The one who told me he was shy said i should add him on facebook and try talkin to him. But when i added him he rejected. whats going on?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhy won't he leave me alone?
I was talking to this guy almost two years ago but things didn't work out. When i told him i still cared about him recently he acted surprised that i still did...but refrained from admitting that he shared the same feelings. So i assumed he didn't love me any more.
I was accepting of this, and decided that it would be better if i didn't talk to him anymore so i could move on. Plus, it's kind of long distance and it is difficult and time consuming to try and stay in contact for a friendship that isn't even that strong.
But he started calling me immature for not wanting to talk to him. I tried to explain to him that i wasn't ignoring him out of spite, i just needed to distance my self for my own benefit but he still believed what i was doing was stupid. We've been arguing for months over this and i realized im just going to have to ignore his messages and hopefully if i stop responding he will get the picture.
But i still would like to know why he finds it so hard to let go of me. Why does he want to be my friend so badly? He has more than enough friends. And if he feels the same way as i do, and he knows how i feel...why doesn't he tell me? When i tried to stick around and talk to him, he didn't make an effort to talk to me. I would be online for a month and i would only speak to him 1-3 times cuz he's rarely on. Whats the point in asking someone to be online if your hardly on to talk to them? He reeeeaaally confuses me..and some clarity would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
