Am I intimidating? Or too grown up? Or what's the problem?!?

Seems like every time I get close to a guy, and become really good friends they end up getting a girlfriend and then stop talking to me. I really would like to know what's going on. The only guys who have ever been interested in a relationship with me have been real needy guys or guys who have a lot of issues that they need to get figured out.

Here's a little bit about me:

I'm a the oldest of 10 children, I love them all very much, and love spending time with them. I also love spending time with any child, I've been told that I have a very nurturing character. I love to cook, not particularly for myself, but I really love to cook for other people. I am not the type of person who likes to go out and party, I don't drink and have a very hard time doing anything out of the ordinary and generally don't do crazy things. I absolutely love people, love listening to them, especially those who just need someone to talk to and vent to. Could this be intimidating to guys? Or what else could be the problem? I'm just really confused right now.

    It sounds like you are marriage material but not "Let's go out and have fun and go crazy" type of person...

    Which type are most guys looking for?

    Most guys don't want to settle down.

    Sorry.

    It kind of sounds like people who put everyone else's needs first. Like girls who go out with guys with drinking problems and try to 'fix' them and cure them with their mothering love...

    but guys want to be with girlfriends, not mothers.. you sound lovely but maybe this being 'too nice' is stop putting yourself strictly in the friend zone--show you have a backbone and you are capable of taking a stand, and being a little flirty to stir up some sexual tension..

  • If you want the relationship between these guys to be more than friendship, start acting like it! Guys are clueless; if you're just acting friendly, that's all they're going to understand. If you start liking a guy, act like it or make a move before some other girl swoops in.
