Go for them, avoid them? Why? How?
In here we say: "Girl is either taken, after breakup or nobody wants her."
Going for a women in one of the mentioned "states" means:
Ad taken girls) potentially difficult, problematic and moraly dubious
Ad after breakup) emotionally unstable, risky, potential problems, might be just seeking rebound so it's a waste of time
Ad nobody wants her) usually for a reason or two
What I've seen around is that from a certain age (let's say about 20 latest), women
fall into one of those categories. Singles seem much rare. Have you observed the same?
The way how women change their partner seems rather:
Boyfriend>better boyfriend>better boyfriend rather then
Boyfriend>single>(better) boyfriend>single>(better)boyfriend
A relationship psychologist would advise not to go from relationship to relationship
(and I tend to think that healthy, confident, self-dependant and mature people prefer not to do this)
however the reality around seems to be different (don't know whether there are so few
mature people in our society or what the reason is; I might be wrong here. /any idea?/).
Now, I'm 32 and the town I've been living in for the past 3 years has 60k inhabitants. It has happened way too often that I've met
very few singles but a lot of women with (real) boyfriends (not the "boyfriend as a rejection" or to
"counterbalance a value because of an attainability issue").
I guess it has to do with the demographics and with my target age. At around 25+ most of women here seem to be taken.
I for sure prefer singles but I cannot ingore and change the reality around me. So is there any
better, non-radical solution than to compete for those taken?
The truth is that many relationships are not of a high quality and their existence oftentimes more the result of "inertia force", kind of stereotype where the original attraction has been fading away more and more.
What I do not completely understand is why women stay with their partners even if the relationship
does not suit them anymore. This seems to me rather weak and undeserving to their partners.
If you met a women that is clearly attracted to you, shows interest, tries to move things forward but has a boyfriend (she may or may not be living with) how would you proceed?
I have this situation currently happening.
We met about 4 months ago. She gave me strong approach invitation on the bus so who would not have approached her then? I asked her number, she gave it to me. Mentioned however her boyfriend. When I tried to text her, the message was undelivered. I assumed she gave me the wrong number. I googled her to check her status on FCB and she was really taken. So I dismissed it. But as we both live in the same town and work in a bigger town nearby (for different companies but
in the same building) it's no surprise that after time we met again on the transit. We just smiled at each other and I ignored her then. After 3 months from our first encounter we met again on a bus stop. Approach invitation again. We talked... I told her then she gave me an incorrect number before and she denied that (it might have been my typo). So she gave me her number again. We started texting. She started chasing me.
We are to meet tomorrow. I'm not very comfortable with that situation because I am not completely sure how to go about it.
I do not want to hurt people but do not want to waste my time either, so I would ask her what she wants from me, why she is with me and not with her boyfriend and pull her home if possible - latest on the second date. But because we met a few times on the bus, it's already time for action now not just another talk.
I'd like to frame it as her decison, her risk and her responsibility. She's an adult and that's what it really is.
It's her relationship with him not mine. The risky thing is that I could not promise her anything (relationship)
from the start. It takes time for people to get to know each other.
It's seems that her relationship with that guy already is not in a very good condition. Don't want to generalize
but at least me being in a great relationship I would flirt with others but would not meet other women romantically.
The ideal situation is that if mutually desired, she breaks up with her BF and only THEN we start dating.
But how reallistic is this scenario? (Your experience is welcome)
As they live together that just theoreticaly - for practical reasons - I guess could not happen that quickly anyway.
However knowing the dynamics of seduction, not acting and waiting means losing her.
Is there a safe way how to proceed? If so, how?
Thanks
