Q: Emotionally Detached: a Good Thing?
asked by: menahesh on December 7th, 2004
New User
I've been seeing someone for about 6 weeks. She claims she doesn't do pdas, won't even hold my hand in public (and its not the way I dress). Lately, she doesn't even hold my hand when we are alone. She really gets displeased if I act emotional or affectionate physically or verbally. The closest we come to affection is sex, and it is tearing me up inside? Am I just too sensitive? Too emotional? I welcome any responses.

Thanks,

menahesh

[it seems that ur girkfriend is not comfortable with the idea of sex yet.Giveher some time. Make her comfortable when u two r together. Don't rush up at things. It seemed to me that somethings r there in her mind talk it out. Key thing is communication talk a lot with her.

There are some people.. Both men and women, that aren't comfortable with public display of affection. (pda). Some that don't like to cuddle while in private too... It's just preference. Appreciate her for the person she is, don't try to change her to meet your needs. If she doesn't meet your needs, then perhaps you should consider looking elsewhere for happiness.

I doubt there is anything you can do.. Some people are just ice cold and it seems to me that your GF is a [please watch your language]. As I read your post I couldn't help but think of my ex.. He was freaked out about showing affection too. I'm not sure what your GLs problem is but, as for my boyfriend, I blame his evil mother.. Smile

menahesh,

if you're getting some at 6 weeks, it's not too bad. Smile
on a serious note, does she show affection in other (non physical ways)?

it may be too early to judge. how long have u known her?
