Why do I feel like I have to be someone else for guys????

Hi everyone. I am a very friendly person who loves people. Why can't I be myself without guys thinking I "want" them. I have a long term boyfriend but I love making new friends - male or female, I couldn't give a rats. I am sick of just being myself and having guys think I want to have sex with them! I am NOT touchy feely, I am NOT complimentary. I just like having a laugh and making friends! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

You can. It's not your problem if you are mis-interpreted by others unless what you do is intentional.

What do you think is making them get this impression of you? Maybe it's some attitude or action you're inadvertently giving off? I guess the best way to make clear to them that you don't want sex with them is to mention your boyfriend right up front. I found this a very useful tactic. A convo can go something like this:

The guy: "____, when are you going to come back to _____?"
You: "Oh, I'm not sure. My boyfriend wants to hang out tomorrow, so we might come by if he's up for it".

That shows them that you're serious about your bf, and not thinking about cheating.

Hope this helps.

sounds like you are mixing with the wrong guys. but men are men and will naturally gravitate to you if you are appealing, you should be so lucky
