You meet a guy. You go out. It's clear that you like each other, and you begin to open up more and more. Then, out of nowhere, he withdraws. Sound familiar?

I find that when women get dramatic and fussy about things before the relationship has even progressed to the physical stage, this is defininely a bad sign. When women get nitpicky or start fights, and you haven't even slept with them yet, it's time to bail.

I can't speak for every male reading this, but I certainly would feel squeamish if a new female friend started to bring up questions like: "how many children do you think we should have" or "what kind of a house can you buy for us?"


Granted---these questions might sound extreme---but I'dprefer to get to know the lady a lot better before fantasizing aboutour future!

Takes a moment to breathe


Often times the man pushes and rushes us until you let your guard down, then BAM, they withdraw or run. Time for men to step up and be sure you know what you want beforehand. Don't rush us then panic onceyou've pushed us to the same page.

Well what did the woman say? I think with anyone if you say something that insults or is off-putting that the other person shuts down. Women shutdown as well.

Three primary reasons


1) the sex was bad


2) the companionship was bad


3) she was clingy and needy

Yeah but bailing may not be the best thing. I got all emotional early in a relationship that I am still in by the way because I was losing my job due to layoffs. I didn't want to tell him because I was so embarrassed. He didn't bail, he gave me the benefit of the doubt. He figured there had to be SOMETHING making act so crazy. When I finally broke down and told him what was wrong, he was so understanding and I calmed way down, found another job and we are doing just fine. Trust me mojorzn we're not all drama queens, sometimes we have valid reasons for wigging out.
