Do the Expectations of Men Affect you? (14)
Now I’m not speaking for anyone other than myself, but for me, I’ll have to answer yes. I think some of the problems why I’m particularly not so excited about jumping into a relationship is those expectations. I think many people impose too many rules or expectations in a relationship instead of just letting it flow naturally.

Yes expectations affect how I would approach a relationship.
I would be running in the opposite direction post haste!

P.S.
Expectations seems to draw a line in the sand immediately. I have walked from many of chances for relationship because the initial meeting seem to be more like a job interview than 2 people just trying to get to know each other. Consequently, I think that people limit themselves by proceeding to get to know someone with a check list.
Granted, there are several flags that I or anyone would look for that would cause one to walk. But, I would just like to have fun in getting to know someone first before I weigh my decision.

HIJACK ALERT
Expectations have many times confused me, I often wonder if my expextations of my wants or of people are to high. When and how do we know when they are?
I know time can show me when my expectations are to low.

I think the fact that we are alone may hold a clue as to how do we know when the expectations are too high!

Yes...I do find myself trying to figure out their expectations and then trying to surpass them if I am really into the guy. But, if their expectations are too high....out they go!

Sometimes I think the expectations that women feel men have about them may not be entirely true.
Most women have been programmed by media to think men are looking for a barbie doll figured bimbo, when the opposite may be true.
Most of my male friends agree that while attraction is important ( looks ) they want a real female. After questioning that response, they said a girl that has intellect, is honest, caring, supportive, faithful, these are exactly most of the same qualities that we look for in our male counterpart.
I do not think that the actual expectations of men affect me as much as what we think men want.

Expectations.... LOL I don't have any when I meet someone. I mean if they tell me about themsleves then yes I expect them to be that person and if they aren't I might be disappointed but if they are honest when they talk to me then.... we'll be good. I have the ability to like and befriend almost any type of character and personality.... I think its because I really can't be classified into a personality group myself lol... but I can identify with all types of people. So I have no expectations other then the ones that that person themselves gives to me. And the flip side of that coin is that people shouldn't have expectations of me because I am me and I don't care what people expect of me. I am who i am deal with it. lol

Do you find that the expectations of men affect you and how you approach your relationship?
