Only wanting what you can't have.. how do you get over that?

I have the same problem, particularly with this one guy who I am in love with and it seems it is never a right time for us to hook up because he is always with someone. What we need to understand is that there is someone out there for us the problem is we need to stop looking so hard and let him come to us and at that time it will be the right time. You are right you should never pursue anyone who is already in a relationship because that causes pain and disappointment and why add to the problems we are already facing in life. So you are doing right. Just develop a closer relationship with the lord and pray on it and it will happen. Honestly I am in the stages of getting over this problem, it is hard but protecting your dignity and heart makes it worth waiting for.

I have the exact same problem. Your interested in the guy, you talk, hang out but then when he starts to seem interested ,you switch and you no longer like them because you've caught them. My interpretation is that you just like the chase, the beginning of everything but when it comes down to the serious part you back out because you won the chase, the rest is downhill from there. You last longer then I did at least you had a serious relationship once I feel like we are about to be a couple I back out and never see them again. You always want what you can't have you never want what you could have. I think you'll get over the problem once you've found someone that you can imagine being in a relationship with and not be scared by it.
I wish I can stop thinking this way because it interferes with your social life and in the end you end up the lonely one. There was one guy that I wanted to be in a relationship with and he rejected me and I am so sure that he is the for me (because I haven't caught him yet) which makes me wonder if he gave me the attention other guys give me, would I be turned off? I guess I'll never know.

It's a game and sooner or later you're going to get tired of it.

it is seems like a lot of people have that problem including me
me and this guy start talking and the closer we got the more we started to like each other but his feelings weren't as strong as mine, in the end I got hurt.

i don't know if there is a clear solution to this, many people say don't fall to easy, and don't grow to attached to fast. I kinda understand what they are saying but that because it is easier to let go that way!

I had this problem ever since I started dating. I don't know why when I like someone, in the beginning is look so promising and later I end up falling for the guy and the guy end up falling out love for me. I been trying to figure out myself, what type of person I am and why guys I like never like me back. I know I have a great personality and I am attractive but I can't seem to find the reasons for it. I haven't got over it and this is my relationship patterns for long time.
