How to stop thinking every girl is a potential girlfriend?

[Anonymous]

I don’t want to think like because I feel like it makes girls uncomfortable around me. I’m 20 and somewhat recently got out of a rocky relationship. She was very emotional and really dragged me down with her. I feel also that me thinking every girl is a potential partner that I look extremely desperate for anything I can get. So does anyone have any advice on this?

First realize at best probably only 10% of women find you attractive. This isn't bad because it narrows the potential matches. Next ONLY put effort into women willing to put effort into you. She has to earn you as much as you have to earn her. Next don't look at your last relationship as entirely bad. Hopefully you learned from it what you don't like and don't want. Use that and communicate that tactfully but clearly to the next woman. With each failure you're learning your boundaries. NEVER compromise on them! Compromise with your partner, but not with you're boundaries. If she cannot respect them, end it! For both of your sakes.

Good luck man.

Other girls are not your ex girlfriend.
