Question Posted Monday September 10 2007, 12:41 am
so lets just say, after a year and a half relationship that ended excrutiatingly painfully, i want to be able to date around and have fun. make guys want me and just kinda play the field but get out before it becomes serious. my question, how can i go about doing this without getting attached? i seem to get attached fairly quickly. =0
We all have our styles when it comes to attachment and flirting. Maybe you are the kind of person who isn't comfortable just fooling around, but when she likes someone, truly likes them.
I'm not sure it's worth forcing yourself into a different emotional mold, just for some fun.
HOWEVER, you could probably try stretching your flirting muscles with guys you know you wont have to interact with agian. Guys at the bar who you never intend to call or strangers out at stores or on the street. If you will never see them agian, everything is far less risk, and you'll probably feel more relaxed and less deeply involved.
Keep your flirting interactions really brief, and hopefully you'll get the idea that not every firlt has to 'lead to something'.
Also, date more then one person at once. Give yourself permission to have more then one crush at once. As long as you are honest and respectful of people, there is nothing wrong with that.
