Every man I meet for a date becomes obsessed with me

This is going to sound vain. Could never admit this IRL.

Every man I meet for a date ends up obsessing over me. Every man bar one, to be precise. I have dated a lot over the last year.

I am fed up. Im not some supermodel! Im 34, generally attractive I guess, but nothing out of the ordinary. I am pretty good at conversation and can engage with people quite quickly. I have a good job and my own life and friends, own home.

I like my own space but desperately want to settle down and have a family.

I just keep meeting people who seem like they cannot wait to see me again after one date. I dont sleep with these people by the way. It is just a date. Then they text and we meet again and before I know it they are wanting to know if we are exclusive etc, when i can next see them, texting constantly.

I feel fed up. Just want to meet a sensible, nice man who I am also into. Maybe i just havent met someone i properly like yet? ive been on SO many dates, maybe met 30 people in the last year. the same thing happens everytime.

30 seems like a lot. Back when I did old I would message back and forth quite a lot before meeting people but I understand that meeting quickly is standard now. Anyway that's by the by.

Apparently mostly people have partners who are about the same level of attractiveness so a 7 out of 10 will date mostly 6 7 or 8 out of 10s. Are you out of their league?

How did you feel when you met your last partner, presuming you clicked? We're you happy and excited to receive a good morning text? If I like someone I enjoy text to and fros. If I'm not that into them texts from them are intrusive and met with impatience.
