For the past 5 years I've done the same thing over & over. I'm attracted to a guy, pursuing is done on one of our parts, they ask me out on a date, everything goes well (no physical contact for the most part - maybe I'll let them get a single kiss) & then I stop things immediately. Its not that I'm not attracted to them or that we don't get along...I just can't seem to let myself get close to anyone for fear of commitment & such. Its not that I necessarily want to be single, its just that I can't seem to 'let go,' you know? I feel awful because I really hurt a lot of nice, wonderful guys & I just don't know what I'm supposed to do to correct this. Even more unusual is that the guys who don't seem to pursue me as much as others are the ones that it takes me more time to give the cold shoulder. For instance, a nice guy & good date will be stopped within 2 weeks whereas a guy who is more laid back and less intense (asshole) will be given a LOT more time. Do I need therapy to correct this?
