What is the one thing you wish your guy would understand more? That is an easy answer; I even shouted at my computer, it's me!

Paint the picture, I am 21 years old, never been in love, only ever been in one relationship that lasted two months. Every guy I have ever slept with has been a disaster and I seem to let any man that comes into my life, walk all over me.

I am a very caring person who doesn't like to see anyone hurt or in danger. I would do what it takes if I am close enough to that person to stop the pain. I am a good listener. I'm not too bad looking, smart and a bit clumsy all at the same time.

I always have a man who wants to 'get to know me' but it is never for the right reason and for this I find it hard to trust men.

I don't want the whole sex and nothing else thing and that is what I find hard to understand because that's all men seem to want me for.

The latest man at the moment has been on and off the scene for a year and a half now. We've never slept together but done almost everything else. I like him a lot. I can not stand the thought of him being with someone else. He is the jealous sort also and has told me in the past he didn't like seeing me with my ex-boyfriend or any other guy that I may have been seeing before him. And even though we've had this thing going on for a while now, he doesn't seem to want me, and I mean in a relationship sort of way not a sexual one. I can't seem to work out why. Maybe I need to understand him a bit more instead?

I can see so many reasons why we would be perfect together, we just get each other, or so I thought. He has his these silly moments which would normally annoy me in any other guy but with him it is different, as he just makes me smile.

I wish he would understand me a little more, like he used to a year ago. I wish he would ask a few more questions, then he would understand what's really going on with me right now, how I really feel and why I have such a hard time trusting people. Maybe he just doesn't care in the same way as I care for him?

I know he likes me but I don't know how much or maybe it has just worn off with time? Before we when we were seeing each other we used to talk about the future and what we'd get up to, now he doesn't seem to talk past tomorrow.

I feel really confused and I wish he would just understand how I feel and put him in my shoes for a change.

We girls feel differently, we're more emotional. How comes men have it so easy?

All I want is a little understanding from you so called men and then maybe I will stop getting walked all over.
