In your personal experiences with a prospective partner, what has turned you off or on in their behaviour?
What are the do's and do nots that a prospective partner should be aware of in their ability to keep your interest alive?

Jusso: You need to be more specific


I do? Okay.

How about, what have you found repulsive in their behaviours and emotions and what have you found attractive.

What would your significant other have to be like to keep you attracted to them?

Would they have to be kind, have humour, be independant, know how to cook, be smart?

Could you accept a partner that was more extroverted than you or more introverted?
Could you accept a partner that displayed jealous tendencies or didn't display any at all?
Could you accept a dominant partner partner or a submissive one?

Fill in the gaps here:

A few months ago I met the most wonderful person. Things were going great until the other day. I don't understand how this happened, what attracted me to them in the first place was ______. Now I feel turned off because they _______.

These don't have to be one word gap fills either, elaborate if you want.This is just an example by the way. Feel free to express your thoughts in your own words if you wish.

This is also just a broad evaluation of men so women may see what 'possibly repetitive' mistakes they may be making when it comes to relationships. Men are from Mars, after all. wink

Turn off: I have a knack of finding fellas that are emotionally attached to someone else...

You could say I have the luck of a stiff white rabbit in that area. doh grin

Turn on... the real salt of the earth type... who doesnt worry about dirtying his hands.. someone who wants to actually do something and doesn't have a habit for drinking and procastinating.

Mind tho... its been a while... I reckon I have forgotten... what it is like to actually go out the door except to work... sigh

I don't think it is a case of Do's and Do Not's.. Apart from using common sense, you are best to be yourself and not try and be something you are not.. elephant

There are no hard and fast rules, just take each day as it comes and the more people are together the more we find out if it is meant to be or not.. tip hat cool

Being arrogant, selfish, pretentious, immature, insensitive.

You should be yourself and not try to be something just to please a guy.

Mind you, I am only referring to one past relationship here...

Emerold99: Fill in the gaps here:

A few months ago I met the most wonderful person. Things were going great until the other day. I don't understand how this happened, what attracted me to them in the first place was she was very touchy, always wanting to hold hands or put her arms around me, or hug, or smooch, and so on. Now I feel turned off because they felt that way about other guys too.

These don't have to be one word gap fills either, elaborate if you want.This is just an example by the way. Feel free to express your thoughts in your own words if you wish.

This is also just a broad evaluation of men so women may see what 'possibly repetitive' mistakes they may be making when it comes to relationships. Men are from Mars, after all.

hmmm, now see the prob with that is that some men might see this act of friendly spontaneity as 'neediness' or 'dependance'. So when is this custom acceptable and when is it too much?
