I always talk myself out of liking a guy? how to stop?

[Anonymous]

I don't know why I do this... I'll like him and get so happy and an hour later I am going through all the reasons it doesn't work.

It's a self defense mechanism. You are scared that you might end up really liking the guy and he'll end up hurting you. Stop thinking like that, if you truly want to meet "the one" you have to take a risk. And who knows he might be the one!

Haha I used to do the same thing till recently, but life's too short and I don't want to end up missing out on the perfect girl just because I was afraid of putting myself out there. So stop talking yourself out of it and go talk to him. Good luck! :)

Be a free spirit and enjoy... then let him discover why it doesn't work

I like this. I'll try to be a free spirit.

We sound like we could be great friends! Haha i am like this as well. I think its a defense mechanism, we feel like the guy might not like us back and decide not to like him so we won't get hurt.

It's the worst... Probably cause i've been hurt before.

Same i know what you mean. Im the type of girl who can like a guy and whwn je seems to like me to i just find ways why i houldnt like him and i feel weird, things end up ending.

You need to get out of your head and focus on experiencing the moment.
