    I have always been made to feel like the hook up girl. I don’t know what it is, but guys just don’t seem to see me as ‘girlfriend material’. Regardless of whether or not I sleep with them (90% of the time I do not) they always say all the stuff like, “you’re really hot and I think you’re great, but I just don’t want a girlfriend” and then a few weeks/months later they are in a relationship or dating someone. This has happened to me at least 6 times in the last year and a half… They openly express or make it obvious that they would happily be in a FWB situation, but nothing more. I don’t get what it is that makes me such anti-girlfriend material? I get close to a guy and I think they like me and then BAM – the same thing. Every damn time! I wouldn’t say that any of these guys are even remotely similar in personality either… anyone care to enlighten me or just give me some advice? It’s not like I go out partying all the time and would turn up to their parents house for dinner in a mini skirt with my boobs out swearing all the time!

    I’ve always been in the same situation! It has something to do with the way you portray yourself. For me, it was always because I was the “party girl” all I really did was have a good time. Even when I became more of a homebody, people still went off their first impression, or photos of me, etc. You don’t have to be the wildest girl ever to have people look at you in that “not take you serious” light either, so it can be a little confusing for sure! I don’t know how you are, but it’s definitely something to do with how you portray yourself. Try to just seem a little more into what you want (a relationship) & once you really focus on that, & focus on really loving yourself, you will gradually start to act a little bit different & give off a different vibe, & the right guys will pick up on it! That’s how I turned it around. :) good luck!

    I do enjoy partying etc. but probably not any more so than the majority of other girls/guys do my age. Sometimes I think that guys don’t see me that way because I can be so laid back about things. Like, I will treat a guy who is my friend, and a guy I’m interested in, in a similar way.. You’re probably right, I don’t think I make it obvious enough what I want, or I do it when it’s too late and I’ve already been put in the potential FWB category :P

    I experience the same behavior, and like you, no way I’m sleeping around with anyone. Are you above average looking (hot)? Are you extremely smart? Maybe these guys are insecure and feel like they aren’t good enough for anything long term, so they cop out in order to not be disappointed. Please tell me you don’t chase these guys! If men are intimidated, they won’t do anything that would expise them as vulnerable. So if they sleep with you and that’s all, they won’t feel like they’ve failed if they went for anything more with an “unattainable” girl.
    If its not that, do you have a reputation of sleeping around or being loose in the past? Where are you meeting people? That could make a difference too. If everyone in your social circle knows each other, maybe people are gossiping??

    I wouldn’t consider myself unattractive, I’m not overweight, dont have any major physical flaws (as far as I’m aware) and I’m currently studying at universty, so the majority of people I meet are at the same university as me. I definitely don’t have a reputation for sleeping around.. It always seems like as a woman you either get slated for being too easy or not putting out enough, where has the middle ground gone!? Before I was at university I was less wise and would chase, but now, as soon as I know they are not interested I do not pursue it any further – I just move on. Maybe I just have horrendous taste in men and subconsciously find myself attracted to the non-committal type!

    Hi Lil m,

    I understand your problem, I was like that a long time ago. And I agree with Ashlee. It’s about how you portray yourself.
    You said it yourself “I will treat a guy who is my friend, and a guy I’m interested in, in a similar way” . You maintain the friend zone. So yeah guys can be like ” Oh! A hot friend. Could we sleep together to make it hotter?”
    You already have friends. They don’t care adding to the list. Don’t be afraid to show how special it makes you feel when they look at you. Let them guide. They love chasing us and we love being shy around them.
    I was the same when I was younger, and I realised with time that I was going straight in the friend zone because I was scared to actually let someone in.

    Focus on yourself, make yourself happy, it’ll turn around.

    Good luck

    I say keep your standards high, keep doing what you’re doing and the right one will come around. My personal “struggle” is the fact that I intimidate people (based on appearance). If men can get past my looks, and figure out I’m a really nice person too, then they calm down and open up to potential, normal relationship. If they cant get around the “hot”, they won’t last long in my world.
    Good luck and enjoy your college years!!!
