Is it normal to runaway from a relationship before it gets too close?

This isn't about a particular guy, it is about all guys I've ever liked and talked to. Ok so I really like the guy when we are just talking and texting but as friends but soon as he says the dating word i get this feeling in the pit of my stomach and everything about him annoys me. Well it doesn't annoy me I just try to think it annoys me because I don't want to get too close. I don't know if I am scared or if that is telling he isn't the one i don't know I just seem to always run away. I runaway before I can see what we can be. I mean I am cool with the flirting and stuff but I don't know whats wrong with me.

    I do that but it's when i sense a guy is just trying to make me his girlfriend. I don't like the title part. I think it's because i don't like when a person needs me to be known as their girlfriend to feel safe enough to actually give the relationship a shot.
    The one time i feel in love, the relationship was never defined. We just both knew that we only had our minds set on eachother. It's like loving on a whole new level.
    You're probably just afraid to commite or afraid if you go beyond the playful texting/flirting then it might become too real and less fun. I think that's normal though. It's scary to put your heart on the line.

    I noticed I'm like this too. I love flirting, and when a guy can stimulate my mind, but I don't really like a too tight/close of a relationship. And once it gets up to that point, it makes me feel kind of trapped and 'stuck'. Like my freedom has been ripped away from me. I also get bored.

    One time, I was stuck in a relationship for like 2 months feeling TRAPPED!! I had anxiety while laying in bed at night just thinking about it, because I knew this guy wasn't it. Sometimes it takes that moment when you make it 'official', for it to open your eyes to see that it just isn't right.

    People can chalk it up to saying that I'm flighty, and a tease or that I'm not relationship material..., but I think its a bunch of BS. I think that I just haven't found that right guy yet.

    Don't cut yourself short of what you know you deserve. If you feel like its not right, and you want out... get out when you can. In the beginning. Don't leave the person your dating hanging. Let them know right away, that you need to keep looking, because you just haven't found what you're looking for yet.

    And I truly believe thats what it is. You really do know what you want, you just haven't come face to face with them/that yet. You haven't been given an opportunity with the 'right' one yet.

    Wow! I am the same way. I go into "flight" mode because I am afraid of being hurt which in turn causes me to be afraid of commitment and does not allow me to open up to love.

    Recently I met the most amazing man, fell hell over heals in-love and married him on a spontaneous note before my "flight" mode kicked in.

    The thing is that he had to leave the country... I miss him so much I can't explain it. However, my "flight" mode has kicked in and I have caused several disagreements between us. If only he would hold on to me and allow me to get past that "flight" mode, he would realize that I am the easy going person he fell in-love with.

    Are you afraid of commitment or you're not ready for it?

      Actually I don't think I am afraid of commitment at all. I just tend to find a flaw in a guy and it annoys me and I want to move on. It's like I have that feeling that it won't last but how do I know if I don't try. It's hard to explain.

    It feels like I am just to close to love you...so I'll be on my way.

    Did anyone else think that was a black woman singing???
