Anatomy of a Love Affair

[Shakti_Dreamer]

Over the course of time, I have realized that my love affairs always follow a specific pattern. I fall for someone, head over heels, can't think of anything but them, want to be with them madly, want to make love all the time. Then, slowly but surely, I become bored by them and then need to find a way out of the situation. Always, they get hurt. Always, I have regrets. I hate this pattern and want to change it. I simply don't know how.

Do your relationships follow this kind of pattern? If so, what do you do to change it? If not, how do you keep from falling into a pattern?

I find the opposite to be true. The initial passion & energy I receive at the beginning of a relationship is not sustained, even when I believe I'm maintaining my own levels of desire/passion. It's like I wear people out. Either that or they find me boring after a while.

I gotta tell ya, though, if the energy I'm putting out isn't reciprocated, it won't be long before I start shopping. Life's too short to waste it on ho-hum.

I rarely get past the first date. If we're not dating per se, most women quickly find me too weird to be comfortable with me. I'm not even bothering to try any more.

So I can't offer any advice.
