Why am I thinking about dumping a guy before we've even had a relationship?

This guy at work is lovely. He is always nice and attentive to me and I like him in return. However I overheard two other women discussing what a hottie he is and how they'd do it wiith him in seconds. I now think perhaps I couldn't compete with them. He hasn't shown any interest in them, well not that I've noticed. But I still feel abit like something has been ripped out of my stomach. Why would he bother with me ?

Why not try to just be friends instead of an all or nothing ordeal. If it works out as something else later, once you know him better, great. If not no loss there. Don't fall in love so easy you'll only hurt yourself.

Talk about insecure... If he asked you out rather than them doesn't that indicate he would rather be with you?

You are probably just as hot as those other girls but maybe you don't see it yourself. Even if you were not as hot it doesn't matter. He seems to be attracted to you not them. Some guys don't actually like the hotties because they know they are probably stuck up and maybe only want to have sex.

I think you should continue on as you are and give it a chance, see what happens. Good luck.

Gut instinct, perhaps...go with it....obviously there's something about him that's not settling well with you....

What was the reason for your going out with the guy in the first place?..was it to try to forget someone else?..whatever you reason may have been maybe you need to think about the reason..within the reason lies the answer

I went through the same thing, usually it just means your having second thoughts about and realize it probably won't work.

1.) Lost interest
2.) You see them for who they really are
3.) Now that you got the attention you don't need it anymore
4.) Falling in love with the idea of falling in love

Just a couple of reasons, theres many more for it. I agree with everyone else, follow your gut instinct

I am confused in that what do you construe a relationship to be . How can you dump a relative stranger and why would you, he or she care?

A relationship from my persecutive is two people involved to one another's lives for some period of time committed to a common purpose.

If my eprspection is correct, you haven't arrived at this point and you aren't really in a relationship. Conseuqently you are not dumping anyone of importance for cause.

What?? Ok, you're thinking of dumping a guy you haven't started dating yet because other women expressed an interest?

I'm guessing you're not the competitive sort. Which is ok. But guess what...this IS NOT A COMPETITION. If things progress with you and this man, great, don't let the comments of others be a deciding factor though.

I'm with Kilyra on this. If you have noticed this man paying attention to you, others have more than likely noticed it, too--including the 2 chickies. They may be trying to undermine and sabotage you. Good luck.

You have to think you're worth it, before anyone else will think you are.

It sounds like you have low self confidence. I have felt that before -- and that was the core reason I had to address it. If you have a feeling he is not as good as he seems, trust that...but if it's just your confidence-- try to work on it & go for it...but GO SLOW.......get to know each other a little at a time...that will answer your question about how he feels about you -- he will show it in his actions.

GOOD WISHES!!

You might have low self-esteem, and maybe it's a little intimidating to know that you could have competition for this guy. It sounds like you want to throw in the towel before the competition even starts. But please think about it carefully...consider your feelings for the guy,who much he really seems to like you, and if you are letting a couple of very competitive women intimidate you out of what could be a good thing. Also, remember that there are some agressive women out there that will do this sort of thing for fun.
I say don't be frightened off, just see where it goes.
I've given up on relationships for the same reason. It was a mistake.
