Have you scared someone off due to you are too passionate? ( Archived) (121)

Jun 5, 2014 11:00 PM CST Have you scared someone off due to you are too passionate?
I am a very passionate person. I used to try to "reign it in a bit", but it's the way I am, so have learned to just accept it.

I truly think I have scared a few men off - not sure if they found it too overwhelming or maybe intimidating? I realize not everyone allows themselves, or possesses, the same volume of passion, so I'm sometimes left frustrated.

Have any of you ever experienced someone who's passion took you aback a bit, or possess a high level of passion yourselves, and might have scared someone away?

Any insight and/or comments would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Good question conversing

I doubt I've 'scared' anyone off as I tend to keep my feelings in check a little until I have a better understanding of how/where things are going.

Others have scared me off though, with what I would probably call 'too much too soon', overwhelming me and making me feel a little suffocated.

One needs to breathe, yanno laugh wave

Trust me, the too much too soon is not my issue...I certainly don't pounce on my date 1/2 hour in, so that's not it. I always ask if I'm "too much" and most say I'm OK, so I don't know!!
I guess I'll eventually find the right man who can handle me wow

So what is your 'too much' Lori wave

I meant as far as overwhelming me with attention, phone calls, text msgs etc, not necessarily physical affection conversing

Don't you ever get sick of being told that you're too passionate for having real human feelings? I think anyone who pretends not to have feelings has something wrong with them.

I was told that and I will openly admit that it really hurt because it was the last thing I expected to hear, given what kind of relationship she had come out of a few years earlier, It is what it is I guess, changing who I am is not an option nor should any one change for any one if they are the one they fell in love with from the start.

I guess this question is more suitable for men in general. Some scared me off and made me do a runner because some of them are "very hungry" and "too hurry" super then I changed my number for few weeks.rolling on the floor laughing

In reverse, no man will refuse it unless he is a gay or maybe too shy... laugh

skippyguy: Nothing wrong with knowing what you want....or don't want
Sometimes people want too much from the get go....this has shied me off the very beginning at times, But you are dead right *Getting to know people to see if you have a Match..


Yes, someone around my age with "Oh, I dunno..." does drive me up the wall. laugh

I think "wanting too much" from the get go might be happening if people are hurt or lonely, dunno but it does make people do a runner.

Nothing nicer to find the right match skippy. heart1
