I am a normal guy, single father, successful business owner, and pretty good looking. I'm 36 yrs old. Have a great life.
This is the problem, everytime I meet a nice woman she seems to just go loopy. Wants all my attention, starts acting like she is going to marry me, even had one get jealous of the time I spend with my kids. What are they thinking acting this way sometimes after only a week or two?
This has happened 6 or 7 times this year alone.

Well, this is a hard one to answer. Where are you meeting these women? How are you meeting them? There are a couple of good books I could recommend you read, one in particular is about how to find out if you should pursue the relationship in 2 dates or less. It is awesome! I am a single mom myself, I know how hard the dating world can be! I also know that My time is precious and I don't want to waste it with a man who I know will never work out! I would suggest reading some books on the subject! I personally like the ones that are faith based, but whatever one would probably give you some insight! Just hang in there! Best wishes!

I think you need to lay the ground rules out immediately when you meet a woman. The first time you take her out, make sure she is aware of how much you love to spend time with your children. Let her know you have hobbies and friends that you see often. Also, take it slow. Don't call the new girlfriend all the time. Don't see her every night. ( Maybe wait some time to sleep with her?)
Basically what I'm telling you to do is to establish boundaries right off the bat so there is no question that you want your own space. Don't be afraid to be frank with a woman and tell her that you don't approve of how she is acting.

Well it seems to me you keep attracting the type of woman who seems clingy and possessive. Plus they probably notice right away that you are a good catch so they want to hand cuff you before you get away. You have to realize that sometime we as people can attract the wrong type of people all the time...and it seems to me that is your problem. I would suggest you take a look at yourself to see why you seem to attract these type of woman and what intially attracted you to them. Perhaps you need to focus on a different type of woman cause I bet all these woman had something in common when you first meet them. Lastly, woman always dream of marrying a attractive successful man so when they find a man of that nature they sometimes tend to become possessive. Hoping you will be the one to sweep them off their feet.

Are these girls younger women? That could be a problem. But good for you for spending the time with your children. If a woman can't accept that your number one priority is those kids, then she has no business being with you. You deserve a woman who is going to accept that, and you as you come.

Women of average or below average financial status/success DO tend to go "loopy" when they date a financially successful man--gets worse if he has kids, as in your case. And when they go "loopy" the smart man is the one that sends them away.
Try meeting/dating successful businesswomen or women of equal financial status. Nothing wrong w/ dating a woman richer than you, either (wink, wink).

You're dating needy, desperate women. There must be something about this type that attracts you. Maybe step out of your dating comfort zone and try dating a woman you would not have chosen before. It's worth a try.

Your probably the kind of guy that every girl wants in her life. Sometimes when females find what they want, they become very possesive because they don't want to lose you. Sometimes it doesn't take long for a girl to know if a guy is good for her or not. I feel bad for you because for years my life was like that with men and I know exactly how you feel.

Start looking for patterns in the women you find. You're probably attracted to a quality that brings with it the crazy, possessive side effects.

I bet you are dating the woman who are quite a bit younger than you....aren't you?
Older women have been through life, and they know that parents spend a lot of time with their children and they especially know it takes months and months to fall in love.
