Quote: Have your D's three "not nice breaker uppers" fit a pattern? How do you suppose she keeps finding guys like that?
Not exactly, but I do think an underlying thread is that she is so desperate to HAVE a boyfriend, that she jumps from "interested" to "steadies" so fast, she may scare them off. Of course, when they dump her badly (the last one before this had his friends tell her!) then she's even MORE needy for validation the next time. This is so hard to teach someone else, but it's kind of a DB thing - the more you show you want it, the more it scares them off. The more confident and self-contained you are, the more you attract them.
