It’s amazing how people are so afraid of feeling vulnerable, that they’ll avoid dating completely. Every single one of us feels vulnerable at some time or another in our life. You can’t avoid it, and by avoiding getting close to anyone, you’re denying yourself the chance of ever being happy. I understand what it’s like though. You meet someone that blows your mind, and instantly all your insecurities come out.

I was having an interesting chat with a lady the other day. She was attractive, and had an amazing energy, but she can’t find herself a decent guy anywhere. When I asked her what her main sticking point was, she told me it was that men wouldn’t approach her.

Most people believe that we only live once, yet so often we live life in a cage of limitations and unbreakable boundaries. Some of us go to a cubical everyday and we dread it. Others create relationships that are unhappy or are functioning on autopilot day to day, with momentary awakenings that quickly fade. We live for the weekends and for our next vacation. Please know that your life does NOT need to be lived this way.

In dating there are times when we simply need to walk away at the first sign of a red flag. In my experience as a relationship therapist I've seen six types of men who are un-dateable -- at least for now. Watch out ladies: They could end up being a huge waste of your time and possibly even end up hurting you. Here are the the top 6 men to avoid like the plague (and why you're attracted to them!)

If you clicked into this post, you’re in trouble, honey. Maybe your man and you are in a fight. Or maybe he’s sulking and you don’t know why. Maybe he’s just trying to get your attention. Maybe he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. Whatever the reason, your boyfriend is ignoring you and you’re not happy about it. (Which you shouldn’t be! Being ignored in a really crappy feeling!) Here’s exactly what to do when your boyfriend ignores you.

Reader Frustrated in More Ways Than One writes,
I am 26 and I live with my boyfriend, who is 27. My boyfriend is gentle and kind and loving. He will get up in the middle of the night to get me water if I don't feel good. He's my best friend. He wasn't always so sure that he loved me, though, and because of that, I doubt myself from time to time. It's only very seldom, because I honestly do know he loves me. He may have been unsure at first but I know he is sure now. But, because he doubted before, I doubt now. I never fully trust when he says he won't leave, because he thought he wanted to once. (We broke up for 3 months last year bc he said he was no longer in love with me.) I have no doubt in my mind though that we both love each other. I hate to even complain because I am so happy with so much of what we have, except our sex life. He is the best I've ever had... When I can have it. He never wants to have sex! I have actually begged. He refuses to even say there is a problem. Every time I bring it up, he gets very frustrated and storms out. He doesn't ever act that way, otherwise. He says "it's just not on my mind. Just ask me." The problem with that is, I do ask him. A lot. Multiple times a day. For days. Then I feel so defeated. I start to feel ashamed. I don't even want him to see me naked anymore. Then, he gets hurt that I don't want him to see me. Is there something I can say or do to help us have a somewhat active sex life again? I'm starting to resent him.
