They Say Timing Is Everything, So How Long Do You Wait For A Man?
Has this every happened to you?
He’s dating you and someone else, he keeps saying he’s not looking for anything serious, he’s dealing with a divorce, he has a drug problem, he’s still married, he’s busy with work (all the time), he only thinks of himself, he only calls for late night booty sessions, he has lots of drama in his life, he’s way too needy, he’s way too controlling, he’s bitter and jaded… the list can go on & on.
Do you see a glimmer of hope? Does his kindness and goodness come out on occasion? Are you waiting for him to step up? Are you wanting him to man up?
Based on countless conversations coaching single women whose relationships aren’t going anywhere, I’ve concluded that the average woman will invest and waste about 5.618723409 years of their life hoping a man will change.
Can you guess what happens when they figure out he won’t change?
What is about the unavailable man that is so appealing to so many women?
Why is moving on from this type of guy so difficult?
“Why is moving on from this type of guy so difficult?”
Because we are constantly exhorted by society — and that includes dating & relationship “experts” — to “Give him a CHAAAAAAANNNNCE”.
And then as women we’re blamed for the relationship’s failure when it doesn’t work out … and we’re blamed — like you do here — if we stay too long.
I think it’s interesting that the title question isn’t answered in the post … because I was really looking for the answer to that question.
I believe the title question wasn’t answered because the answer is simple, yet sometimes quite painful–you don’t. You don’t wait on a man. You exercise your options and find someone who is already relationship-ready.
You nailed it, the answer is simple and yes, sometimes painful. Thanks Brandy. <3
