Backing down from intimacy or not pursuing physical interaction can leave a woman feeling rejected. I'm not telling you to be a sleezy guy or just think about sex, but women want to feel attractive and good about themselves. Being chased and sex can fulfill that need for some women.

Everyone is different and some women look for a certain types of guys. It could be very possible that the girls you have dated just weren't into you. That doesn't mean you are a loser or anything. It just means that the girls you dated didn't work out. Earnest self esteem will never come through the affection of another. No relationship will make you happy. In the beggining you may have butterflies in your stomach and feel amazing, but overtime that will sour if you have other things in your life making you depressed.

I found and eventually married someone. Thing were good in the beggining and I can say I was happy with the new found relationship, but over time all of the stuff I put aside emotionally started to come out. Then came back the depression, withdrawing, self harm etc. My spouse blamed herself for how I felt. While she did some things that made me feel bad, it wasn't her fault for how I feel but my own. I am the one with unresolved issues, a severe lack of self esteem that border on self hate, depression etc. Those things were part of me before we meet and they still are. Being in a relationship didn't change anything in regards to how I felt. When those things started to emerge and I began to withdraw, she blamed herself and felt like she was being rejected. That can lead a person to resentment or other things that are unhealthy for a lasting relationship.

I reccomend you work on your life and get things into a better place for yourself. That makes relationships much easier. The biggest positive for me is having someone and having depression is that I have a reason to keep going. I'm not saying I would end things if she left or am trying to manipulate her, but without my marriage I feel like I would be more likely to self destruct. Having someone that depends on me, helps me to think about the consequences and in the times that I am filled with self hate, knowing that hurting myself also hurts her tempers my actions and I better resist the urges and impulses to do self destructive things.

That isn't exactly a positive from her standpoint. I can't imagine going into things, if she knew how bad things get for me that she would have pursued it. I could be wrong. The point I am trying to make is that my issues don't help my relationship and are a issues that tends to drive a wedge between things when I don't ackolwedge and address them. The issues were there before her and did not go away by being with her. They are mine to deal with and when I don't, they cause issues between us.
I do appreciate what You shared,,,I'm not bragging or anything but since I got my first apt at 21 when I had a girlfriend we were very sexually active,even trying new positions and different places.....I always made them feel special and beautiful,even their parents would tell me they're glad she met a nice a guy for other guys she was with were mean to her,to put it mildly,but sadly afyer a couple weeks they said I was TOO NICE for them....heck a couple girls thought I didn't love them cuz I wouldn't hit them? They go back to ex who was very abusive or cheat on me with an abusive guy ,I'm no wimp,physically,I work out,several times when I found out the *** hit a girl I went with I wanted to go over and teach him a lesson....if these women are scared to leave the *** all I need is a bat to take care of him...no I wouldn't kill him....just bust his hands so he could never hit a woman again.....twice my counselor I've known since 2003 who is leaving had to stop me from teaching these jerks a lesson....I was abused as a child,my mothers first husband abused her,the only thing I hate in this world are low Lifes who abuse women yet these women stay with them,why? Because they say they love them....over the years I've been doing great,volunteering,working,painting,drawing,socializing...it wasn't til this spring when I got fed up with all the rejections cuz I'm too nice....I realized how alone I am in this world.....
