Q: I find that I’m resisting making new girlfriends

I know I really want a man in my life right now (and all my actions show it: I work out hard and try to keep up my best appearances, flirt with men everywhere and always have that as an agenda) but why am I resisting making new GFs? I am sometimes annoyed by women who want to be friends with me. It's not like I have any friends. Why? Is it something subconscious?

A: We often resist relationships that we’ve found painful in the past. It could be that you’ve been hurt by significant women but have blocked it out, or didn’t even notice things that were going wrong--but hurt you nonetheless.
