Is it normal that i can't be pleased?

I feel like for some reason no one can satisfy me in a relationship (not in a sexual way). For example, my last boyfriend treated me like a queen and respected me and loved me, but I never felt the same way about him. It seems like no matter what my guys do, I can never really love them or be happy with them. Is this normal? What do I do? I don't like being like this!

    I know why. Because youve never been in a relationship with a guy who treats you like shit. Youre bored of the nice guys because its always the same crap and besides feeding your ego it does nothing for you and doesnt keep you interested. You dont have to work for what you want and things you get without trying are hard to appreciate. Im not trying to be mean so im sorry if it sounds that way, im just talking from experience. If you dont have to work for a guy and get treated amazingly well without trying at all its boring. In my first realtionship i was with the guy for 4 years and he treated me like absolute garbage. I tried so hard for him and i was SO happy when he would do so much as send me a text or see me on lunch (we went to the same school but i hardly ever saw him). I worked my ass off like an idiot but every small reward seemed satisfying. The next guy i dated for 2 years and he treated me like a goddess. I was so perfect to him in every way and he never said no to me.... And guess what? I got so freaking bored. There was literally nothing i could do to turn him off. I would try to see what would happen and even if i did/said somwthing gross he would just laugh and tell me how funny i am. I couldnt take that crap it was so dull! I could never make a mistake, we never had arguments, nothing to get my heart racing, i never had to think of new ways to please him because he was happy with everything. I honestly started being a bitch to see if i could get any reaction out of him, but nothing. Of course thats boring and didnt last. My third boyfriend ive been with for 2 years now an ironically he got me by completely ignoring me. We worked together and had a one night stand type thing once and it was amazing. After that for about 6 months he made excuses not to see me and not to talk to me it drove me nuts! We would meet occasionally when he couldnt ignore me anymore and i would spend everyday with the phone in my hand just waiting for him to text me. I had to try so hard to get him to talk to me/see me. Now he tells me he did that all on purpose because he could tell that i liked the chase, and he was right. Bottom line is that youre bored because you get everything without trying. If you ever find a guy you cant have or one that makes you work for it you will see the difference. You just havent met that person yet who will sweep you of your feet and mind-fuck you, in a good way of course.

    Good luck to you

    • I think you and I are very similar! The boyfriends that I have had sound exactly like your second ones, and in fact we had the same pattern of behavior. I'm not normally some sort of bitchy freak but honestly there was no excitement. I'm a fan of the chase more too!

    Are u one of those women that has really high standards for men? Or that needs them to walk the thin line between pride and servitude? Sounds like ur last strayed too far on the servitude side. He did everything for you and worshiped you and you lost respect for him for it? Where I come from we call women like that 'vultures'.

    You have unrealistic expectations so much so when you get the actual result though it might be great but as compared to your expectations results seem unsatisfactory. my point is lower your expectations to a realistic level.

    Take a step back and ask yourself...
    Are you satisfied with yourself?
    Are you satisfied with your life?
    Do you even feel like you are ready to settle?
    And do you even know what you want?
    If so, are you being true to yourself?
    Some women say that they want a man that will treat them like a queen, but often times they want excitement, fun, turbulence, drama. They may not admit it, but it is the truth. You need to asses what you really want before you keep dating these boys.

    I used to be just like you. I had never been with a guy that treated me as anything less than a Goddess, but I always thought that the chase was better than the catch. But after getting burned a few times, I realized that the drama and the "fun" wasn't worth the heartache when I realized that all I did was scare off good, well-intentioned men. Maybe you need to learn to appreciate the stability and peace that a good man has to offer you, and you might be too young to do so right now.
