    Looking back on your other thread, you seem like a control freak and she could not deal with it.
    It seems to me that you don't want her back but you want someone.
    Have you dated other women since she broke up with you two years ago?

    I'm referring to the person you asked about June 3 of this year.
    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...me-476186.html
    If this is a different person, I think you need to stay away from realtionships until you can get yourself together.
    Your emotions are all over the place and you seem to have very little respect for women.
    Are these all the same women?

    I appreciate the feedback. Some of you are being mean while others are being helpful. The reason I am posting is because I am currently dating someone... you could call it a relationship and I am looking for advice to avoid repeats of the past.

    I'm not sure how to take homegirls advice. I can't just stay away from a relationship that I am in. am I supposed to tell her I shouldn't be in a relationship because homegirl said so on an internet message board? Here's a cucumber for your mouth on your way out the door?

    You asked for advice. You have posted 3 different threads having problems in all of them.
    Are they the same girl or different ones?
    If they re different then yes you need to find out what you have done wrong with these other 3 before you get into another. If they are the same girl, you still need to get yourself together before she comes back. You guys are having the same problem because the problem has not been solved.
    But you can do as you please.
    You might want to try growing up though. Your last comment was not only disrespectful it was unnecessary.
    Go back and read all three of the threads you have posted, then you can see why I suggested you not date anyone until you get a better handle on yourself.

    Remarks like the above just reinforce opinions of you not respecting women, all homegirl was doing was giving an opinion, you need to give us the facts, and with your apparent lack of fluency is it any wonder, with 3 threads is it on the go or were on the go, which girl is it you are asking for advice about.

    am i supposed to tell her i shouldnt be in a relationship because homegirl said so on an internet message board?

    Maybe not but perhaps you could tell her your getting advice so as to not repeat past mistakes, and your follow on comments directed at homegirl were totally uncalled for. You asked for help/advice if you don't agree with what's offered you can ignore it, being rude to a person offering that advice is unnecessary.
    It also does make you appear to be disrespectful to females..

    Sorry for the disrespect. tickle was responding sarcastically which turned this thread south. (1) the relationship from 2 years ago is dunzo. (2) the virgin was a rebound and is dunzo. (3) there was a woman that I dated off and on before the virgin that I was too interested in that still peaks my interest which is where this thread originated. (4) the other questions in this thread relate to other women from the past and present.

    The meditation tapes have reprogrammed my thinking towards relationships and women. Tru teaches the "inner prom king" that women have secretly always wanted to find. The "i don't want her back, she wants me back, i just want to give her the green light" comment is because tru teaches that she wants me back, not that I want her back or at least the importance of talking this way.

    Tru also talks about how women want a man not a guy. Men hunt, sweat, and talk dirty. Talking offensively is what draws women to bad boys and rock stars. My last comment in my previous post is what draws them towards me. Women appreciate men that can speak their mind without a censor.

    Be honest with yourself. I think it is safe to say that women want a bad boy that they can turn good.

    Apology accepted.
    Women do not like vulgar and offensive men. Any woman who wants a disrespectful man does not respect herself.
    If you are a nice guy, be a nice guy. Don't act like an azz-hole to attract a woman because you will find you are not attracting the kind of woman you really want. Nice guys attract nice women.

    I don't know who this "tru" is but I disagree with his philosophy on women.

    Women do not in my experience of being one for a few years now and also having girl friends throughout my life, want a man to be as you've described above.

    They may tolerate it for a time but wouldn't want to take up with someone like that for the long term.

    Women and men alike like to be shown respect, affection, thoughtfulness, compassion, consideration, and love.

    Yes some of us may like talking dirty in the right place at the right time, ( the bedroom and in privacy of same) but I doubt very much many would like their man to talk offensively, that's usually reserved for when men get together with other men.

    Ive been an advocate for positive thinking and striving to become the best me I can be for myself, and my family for many many years, and I would not be in agreement with your comment about women wanting a bad boy to turn good, women may want to experience some time with a bad boy, or some do, but anyone who wants to change another from being their true selves wouldn't want to make changes to their partners, and love and respect will always have the edge on being a bad boy. In my opinion

    Women also respect an authentic man, one who has integrity.

    Somewhat slightly different opinions to your "tru", I feel..
    From a woman at that.

    Hi Kyle. I have been scrolling back trying to find the post where you thought I was sarcastic. I apologize if you think I was, certainly didn't mean to appear that way.

    I think our young friend will be okay once he discovers who he is, and what he wants, and figures out the best way to get it.

    We all go through these experiences in our journey through life, and have to deal with reality, and not fiction.

    New question. I am realizing that I am currently dating a woman as a rebound. I am now over my past relationship so what do I say to the new relationship?

    Do I say that we don't have anything in common or be honest and say that I am over my ex now so I am ready to handle singlehood? We've been on seven dates together.

    Is it socially acceptable to be in a relationship as a rebound?
    She must understand that rebounds are necessary. Dating frequently with different women doesn't help rebound from a relationship. You need to date someone to develop enough emotion/enthusiasm for them to be move on from your ex.

    What are your thoughts on rebound relationships?

    Seeing as you are back. You didn't address my question in post #43, whereby in post #40 you accused me of being sarcastic. Seeing as I apologized, if I was. I ask again, in which post do I appear to be sarcastic. Sorry, but it bothers me that I may have appeared that way.

    This is the problem. The list for mr. right is too big! Women want too much. The list needs to have 2, maybe 3 wants. If the list said I want someone who is confident, good looking, and established, then we would know what to aim for. You put together a list of 40 items and a guy doesn't know where to begin! If I put together a list of 40 qualities and women put together a list of 40 qualities what are the odds that I will find the woman that has those 40 qualities and I will have the 40 qualities on her list? I say, narrow it down to 2 qualities and then maybe we will find each other.

    what are your thoughts on rebound relationships?
    HARSHNESS ALERT!

    My thoughts and opinions on rebounds:

    Rebound relationships are NOT necessary.

    What you are describing is using someone like you would a tool that has no emotions. That is NOT socially acceptable. Acknowledging that you are using her and that she should 'understand' is almost like saying, 'I don't care that you have feelings mine are more important.'

    Rebounds happen because the person doesn't take time to heal from the last relationship. He takes all of the baggage from the past and shoves it onto the next person expecting them to carry it for him.

    Rebounds happen because the person has lost any respect for himself and other people that he might have had so, therefore, he can rationalize using another person for his own ends.

    Getting out of a 'rebound' relationship thinking you are healed and jumping into another one just continues the cycle.

    If you are dating a woman on the rebound does she know that's what you're doing?
    That is the key.
    Are you sure you're over the other woman, it hasn't been that long.
    As long as the lady knows you are coming off a relationship and you're just dating around, you're being honest with her.
    But you need to be honest with yourself. You don't use one person to get over another.
