martyg: Sorry hon...I lost you on this point... (I think you need to take a second look at your past relationships and realize what they were bringing to your relationship to balance it out... like maybe communication?)Can you break this one down for me?? I never was one to believe in the opposites theory.. I do think that its just a myth...I am more of a believer in having a lot in common with a partner. I think that this helps the friendship aspect of the relationship
I've studied people all my life... I learned it at a very young age to protect myself. With that being said most successful couples I have ever met generally had one major difference that balanced out their relationships.
I have personal examples I can give such as neighbors I once had, we had olive oil who married Bluto (our nick names for them because they litterally looked like the popeye cartoon characters) their opposite was size, he was short and very stout she was tall and lanky.
There was Carol and Wade, Carol is very controlling and organized and her husband Wade is very layed back and go with the flow.
There was Barbie and Ken, Barbie actually divorced Ken and married Hill Billy man... Ken was too much like Barbie they got along just fine but their relationship got stagnant. Hill Billy man was the opposite of Ken at that point and therefor very attractive to Barbie.
For me, I've been raised by men most of my life.. never really had a good female roll model... I tend to be naturally attracted to mommas boys

martyg: I dont think you realise just how accurate your question is
I honestly dont know....I never seem to notice it at the start, its only later that i realise the fact that i keep doing this for some strange reason
that works in reversal to; same for women you get to know a person until you start to spend time with them. By then you have started a relationship jmo
moonfoxinthesnow: I am wondering what makes you turn and run the other way?? either while looking at potential dating material, first dates, second dates or a year down the line. Give us girls a clue as to what we might be doing wrong!
I have no idea. It's our intuitive/instinctive sense that guides us most of the time. Hard to explain.
