Almost Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Let's play, "Guess my problem" The last relationship I was in was 5 years ago. I was engaged to be married to a wonderful woman. The relationship went bad, when I realized her standards were too high and I just couldn't communicate and express my feelings to the degree she wanted and needed. She was unhappy, and I was unhappy and feeling inadequate. I've been over her for a while so it's not like I'm still holding a torch for her. I see her maybe once a year at some random event. She went ahead and married some guy 15-20 years older. I still have trouble expressing my feelings. I have a hard time letting women know that I like them. I don't compliment women very much. I'll think, wow, that's a great outfit, she looks really hot today, I like her hair that way, she has a nice smile, I love her manner, style, personality, etc. I'll notice things and think about them, but I always forget to actually say these things. It's a lot easier being friends, than it is to put myself out there and let a girl know I like her and open myself up to the possibility that she'll reject me. I have turned many potential romantic relationships into just friends relationships because of my hesitation and lack of confidence. What do I need to do to get out of this 5 year rut!
