Q for guys: Why do some of you start new relationships right after you break off with a long term girlfriend?

Hi Barbara....as a registered nurse you probably well know that an ounce of prevention is worth a thousand cures. Dating is not for the faint at heart...it requires that both parties..be in the " BEGINNING TO BE STRAIGHT FORWARD". Unfortunately that will always not be the case...Even the most honorable men and or women will leave out....those hidden agenda's in the event that all fails with the present relationship. Especially, if I may be blunt they fail to get into your well fill in the blanks...P ts. So if plan be fails....plan a is in the wings.Adjust you med's.Date others.....but don't comprise....ur values..nor you virtues. Nor should you ever feel that your cheating. Nor should you be the booty call when all else fails when the other feels it didn't work out. Don't settle for less..if you do then the less likely you'll find someone suitable. Nurse could you plz take my B/P....SMILE! Hope this advise will be taken to heart...best of luck in your search for somene suitable..you express yourself as a very sincere woman..but I am confident in that you'll find that special someone!

A friend of mine once told me "the only way to get over a chick is to go out with another chick". I know exactly what he means, but personally don't follow that rule. However, I don't think 'most guys do', I think 'most people do'. I've known quite a few chicks who also go from one relationship straight into the next, you see, as if to take their minds and emotions off the past hurt of a relationship coming to an end. 'Preoccupy yourself with something else' syndrome. Some people decide to lose themselves in work after a relationship ends to preoccupy themselves. I wonder though if some people also go from one relationship to the next because there're very few people in the world - I find - who feel comfortable just being by themselves. PS = And if you're uncomfortable getting into a relationship (for any reason and at any time) I don't think you should go against that feeling. As dumb as it sounds: Be true to yourself. I recommend you not looking at how society goes about doing things, because there are far more divorces and relationshipship problems in the world than there are good solid relationships.

when i had a girl right after my long term break up- the new girl was a catalyst to help get me out of the relationship i was already trying to get out of. Kind of like having another job lined up before you quit the old one. Also men are feeling pretty confident about women just after a break up (so long as he did the dumping) so it's not too hard at that point to go out and pick something up. You feel like (you know) women want love too and they have weekness etc.
