Hey fellas,
For a while now I've been actively trying to keep myself out of boyfriend territory when I talk with girls. It seems that every time, in my limited experience, that I think a have a girl ready to go to bed, the fact that I am not boyfriend material is her reasoning for not sleeping with me.
I remember an old girl that, in the middle of us making out and getting ready to sleep together, asked me something about relationships. I believe the question was, "Do you want a girlfriend?" I answered "Probably not". She promptly stopped all further escalation and walked out of the door, never to be seen again. She wasn't angry, but as soon as I let it loose that I wasn't boyfriend material she wanted to go.
Ever since then I've tried disqualifying myself as a boyfriend not by saying I didn't want a relationship, but by displaying qualities opposite of those that girls would want in a boyfriend. Things like trying to paint myself as an unloyal guy, erratic, busy, and further unattainable for a relationship. I never try to prove my merit with others, instead shrugging off compliments that paint me as a boyfriend (smart, nice, loyal, rich) and accepting being called an asshole.
Alas, because of not moving fast enough, another girl ended up finding a guy. Except this guy displays ideal boyfriend traits. He's rich, smart, nice, loyal, etc. Yet fast intimacy happened, within days of meeting and going on a long, drawn out date. This seems to be common at college; the ideal boyfriend candidates end up with multiple girls chasing them and their pick of the litter.
I'm just wondering how in the hell I disqualify myself as a boyfriend. Should I display qualities of a boyfriend, yet appear to be otherwise unattainable? Or should I not show those qualities, and end up having lower value than others as a lover because I probably won't commit to anything? It's boggling my mind.
