bardia agony auntI have to agree with the other poster. I was with a guy who kept a string of exgirlfriends around because they "understood" him & he'd been so "hurt" by girls in the past. I gave him literally everything-$$$, companionship, sex, gifts, took care of him well-& I wasn't enough for him to fully commit to. So I broke it off & he's begged me to be the next in his string of "friend-girls". What a copout. If the guy had that many issues trust me, you can NOT fix, save or otherwise help him (except maybe in bed). Ditch this user attention-whore & find someone who knows how to have a healthy normal relationship with women.

I think you are leading yourself on the wrong direction. What you should be listening to is him not wanting a relationship and also not fooling yourself into thinking he's unhappy and scared. I'm guessing he is really enjoying playing the field, being surrounded by girls fawning over him, and getting what he wants without having to date anyone. You're missing the point. You may not like how he is handling things but I'll bet he has no complaints!
