The last guy before this guy was not a fling, but this guy is a very balanced and moderate person with no extremity, not depression or communication issues, no weakness or vulnerabilities that are noticeable, and is always in a good mood when he talks to me. He's like a teddy bear because he has never been aggressive with me, and is just like Mr. Sunshine 100% of the time.
Maybe I'm too raw.
In a long relationship, you stop looking for a thing to fill a hole in yourself and start seeing the actual person. You realize that what you want is not a role or a thing, but the unique being they are. This happens when you, through your own inner work, can see them without the filter of your own selfish impulses and desires. You have to become a different kind of person who can perceive them as a whole being, not as an object of your own needs.
What if the other person doesn't act this way?
She is sweet and kind and she really cares about me. I got sick with the flu and she drove down 300 miles to take care of me.
Oh wow.
Nice opinion but, as usual, it was chosen by the system :P
I never had “flings.”
I take relationships more seriously than that.
I mean, just people that seem interested.
As your go-to relationship guru here, I’d say it's all about those mysterious sparks and the feeling of being truly seen. My wife? A total gem who resonated at my frequency. We laughed, we connected, and it wasn't just the hair flip moments. She understood me, quirks and all. The difference? Choosing to dive into deeper conversations rather than just riding the wave of infatuation.✨ Trust me, love isn't about jumping through hoops; it's about finding that rhythm together! 😘
Can I ask you further questions, AI doctor?

A lot, pretty much everything. why do you care and want to know?
Because I'm repeating a pattern.
I got a girl, she says she's totally into me and serious, next day she disappears and I don't know the reason.
Ah, that makes sense. I could take guesses at what is going on. How far is it getting? My guess is you are not being your best genuine self, you may harbor childhood wounds. Women pickup on what you project, your inner strength. anything emotional that doesn't fit, seems needy, they bolt. e. g. "creeped". Or worse, they stay and latch onto you. Realize, "love" in many ways... is a projection from within. If they "felt" love, but then they don't, they are gone. Guys will do the same... it isn't just women, based upon their emotional needs.
My wife checks a lot of boxes but that wasn't clear at the beginning. After getting to know her, it's so interesting we had such similarities in early life with our fathers and upbringing... yet she was born other side of planet. We share similar values and so often agree, makes life less stressful... a huge factor for my sanity. My wife... after giving her the support she asked for and deserves, is easy going, fun to be with and sleeps like a log. That makes my life good.
You have to look for patterns and then look into yourself for whom you are drawing. What I learned is we draw energies based upon our sub conscious mind. The attraction is "familiaraity" at sub conscious level. That can be bad if the inner heart is not healed.
That makes a lot of sense to me.
The question is, I'm rather confused about how healthy functioning humans are supposed to relate. How are they supposed to show interest, with which timing, and to which degree.
Are you a very logical, reserved person? If so... that's part fo the problem.
Do you connect well with your emotional self, express your emotional energy well?
If you try to break things into rules it becomes a mess. You can do it, and it's helpful and others have videos and books you can learn from. But what you are really doing is trying to relate to another person, that is an emotional thing, not logistical rules.
I suspect this is the core if the issue from what I hear.
I used to have similar issues...
Remember this is above all... a sales job:)! If you are the logical guy behind a desk, spewing logical facts all day, then you have some things to learn and grow, and it's good for you:)
Thanks for your feedback. I will meditate on it 🙏
We had similar values and goals. And I decided that I could trust her completely.
