I have been seeing this guy and it seems like every time I take the initiative and invite him to do something he starts acting shady...won't respond to messages. He was ok with it at first but more and more if I make a suggestion to do something he either completely ignores the offer or makes up some excuse. Is he really afraid of an independent woman? I've asked him to celebrate my new job...no response...I've asked him to celebrate me completing my MA degree...no response. So he's either intimidated by a woman like myself or maybe he's trying to tell me something else...any thoughts/suggestions??

i love to hear about independant women. im sure you dont have to be told how important it is for women to take control of their lives in a big way and not be reliant on men. major kudos to you. this guy you have been seeing probably thought he could handle it in the beginning, but as time wore on he probably realized again that he could not accept the fact that you really dont NEED a man the way most women do. the answer to your question is yes, he is very intimidated by your education and job status. thats too bad for him but its very, very good for you. a lot of men just cant handle it when they arent the ones making the most money or with the best jobs........better than the woman anyway. thats just the way it is sometimes. i wouldnt feel bad about it if i were you. you have worked hard to be where you are. you earned it and your deserved it. dont ever pretend to lower your standards just because some man cant handle it. i think you are great and wish you could mentor lots of young girls into thinking and doing just what you did, god knows someone needs to. the best of luck to you and your thriving future and to the future men in your life. i hope they will be of the same caliber as you, so they can handle it.

Maybe he is intimidated, but frankly, it doesn't sound like he's very interested in you - if he's shown clearly, he's not interested in doing some of the things you suggest. HOW OLD ARE YOU? -If you've just gotten your Masters degree, why would you spend more than a few dates on such a person who keeps giving you these messages???

IF, you really like this guy...IF, you believe there is something more behind his disinterest, you need to find the right moment to ask him.

There are plenty of men who like smart, savvy women - especially if they don't shove it down a guy's throat (remember this...always).
I'm married to one and its great...

So figure out if he's worth the conversation, and start it...you'll never have a clue, unless you do.

becuase indepenent women dont really need a man, they can depend on themselves, this is from the mans point of view.

Men like to be in command. You're not letting your man be in command.
