| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 5:54:50 AM | | In my experience, all men say they don't want anything serious when it comes to relationships with women. Some are more leary than others because of past experiences. Once you have his attention, how do you catch a guy like this? Any tips? | |

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 6:01:54 AM | i don't think you catch a man at all. this idea that men need to be caught is probably why they are running from you.
be yourself. and be open , honest and trusting and the men that want a relationship will find you. i suspect that the men that you are speaking of do want a relationship, just not with you. sorry to be harsh, but perhaps you need to look inward to find out why you are attracting men that say they dont want anything serious.
EDIT; i have looked at your profile and can't see why anyone wouldn't want to be with you...but there must be something somewhere. | |

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 6:06:24 AM | The relationship should simply flow. If it's an uphill battle to get him to see you, there's obviously a problem.
You can't force what isn't there. | |

No, otherwise no one would be married if its all men, all men in your experience with you as a person maybe... I do love the excuse of past relationships, works well.
You seem friendly enough and smile nicely, so tough to say why. | |

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 8:48:46 AM | Sounds like your "experience" is pretty limited.
Not "all men" shy from something serious. However just like women some arent ready by choice, Also something to chew on some say that to people they dont want something serious with.
I am certainly open to something serious, but if I date someone who isnt for me long term, i'll certainly say I dont want anything serious.
As for "catching a guy like this" please. If he doesnt want long term accept it. | |

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 9:58:22 AM | There are a lot of myths about men and relationships. One myth is that men like one-night stands. We don't. Why would we want to get something only once as opposed to getting it regularly. Another myth is that men don't want relationships. Most of us do with the right person and if we're ready to handle it. I've dated several women at once (yes, they were aware) and I've been in exclusive relationships. I've met a lot of women who said they didn't want relationships either. I don't think you can trap a man into a relationship. You can't change a man and it's important to alway know what you can expect from a guy with regards to this topic. People should discuss these kinds of things openly so they know where they stand with their partner. Trying to trap him might scare him away, so just take it easy, but there's nothing wrong with asking him what he wants so you know for sure. If he doesn't want a relationship, you can't force it. | |

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 11:18:20 AM | | I believe the prefered way is with a few freinds, a van, some chloriform or other fast acting intoxicants, and a little recon. Oh, and duct tape. | |

Seriously, I think you should ask yourself how you'd feel if a relationship-shy guy went to work trying to persuade you that you don't want a relationship.
Accept people for who they are. And when they tell you what they want and don't want, accept that, too. Move on if you don't like it. | |

Interesting statement. The one thing in common with all of your relationships is you! Maybe you should look within yourself to see if there's something about you that's driving the men away. | |

This to me seems simple enough. Ask him out. If he tells you no flat out then he just isn't interested and you should probably move on. If he says yes, just go out have as good of a time as you can, and if it works out he will get over past experiences.

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 10:29:33 PM | I can tell you what not to do . . .
Don't fool yourself or him with promises you can't keep.
Don't ask him to raise kids from another father.
Make your own money and don't demand he make more for your sake.
Don't perceive sex as a chore and rock his world once in a while.
Don't have a "I must be pampered" 24/7 attitude and act like the world owes you everything, especially to him.
Don't threaten to leave or spent time with some other guy (you WILL lose him) because you didn't like what he said one day.
Don't fight with him for the sake of fighting because you feel you have a need to be right, even if you're wrong. Don't listen to other women about what an alpha male is supposed to be like.
Don't pigeonhole him as "you're like my last abusive boyfriend/husband," that will turn him off---he believes nothing he will do will be right because of that.
There's much more.
Damn, I should write a book for women, eh? | |

| How do you catch a relationship shy man? Posted: 1/3/2008 10:49:19 PM | Open the door to your home.
Open a can of beer.
When one wanders around whack him on the head. Keep him chained till he is scared enough never to leave the backyard.
If he ever runs away, repeat the above procedure. ************
Seriously, OP. Catch??? WTF? I don't want to catch anyone... You do realize that the name of this site is a joke of a sort... People are not really fishies that should be "hooked" and "reeled in"....
If he does not want a relationship (with you, that is) there is very little that you can do to change his mind... Stalking is not an answer...

Your mistaken to think that all men don't want a serious relationship. With that said, if your the right person that they are truly looking for, then you will find that hes willing to commit to you in a long term relationship.
Tips, be yourself, know who you are and what exactly your looking for. Don't lower your standards, stick to what you know is right for you no matter what others may feel. | |
