Feeling help: I think I’m a woman trapped in a Guy’s body. - Help.com

I think I’m a woman trapped in a Guy’s body.

I’m definately a straight guy who is attracted to women, but when it comes to relationships, I’m more into romance, intimacy, cuddling etc. than the physical stuff. I’d rather be asked out than do the asking. I’m into normal guy stuff like any other dude (cars, football, etc) I can even be emotionally unavailable at times. Feeling like this makes me so lonely. Can anyone help me?

Just because you’re into intimacy and cuddling doesn’t mean that you’re a “woman trapped in a guy’s body”. There’s nothing wrong with that at all! There are SO MANY GIRLS out there who would do anything to be with a guy like that. I don’t think you should change yourself. Keep this very special quality and you will make a girl very happy one day. :D

There’s nothing wrong with being more intimate than most males; everybody can bring something unique to a relationship; you happen to bring something that most women would probably find intriguing.

I’m just sick & tired of getting stuck in the “friend zone” Usually if I do ask a girl out it backfires on me, ie unavaiable, “I don’t like you that way” etc. Really, there’s only one I’ve kept around as a friend.

You have to ask her out before she’s too comfortable around you. At least the second or third time you spend with her. Any longer then that and you will be in the “friend zone”.

the problem with that is I don’t warm up to peope easily. I like to know someone first, which is why I prefer the shoe to be on the other foot.

have you thought about trying online dating? if you’re shy and like to take time it might be worth a shot.

You are a sensitive shy guy who wants a woman to dominate you or direct you?

I could see “direction” as positive, but no “domination” is not good in relationships.

Okay direction, a woman who is not domineering yet takes the lead.
Seems there are loads of women out there who could manage to come on to you and start the conversations, if you were to find a common ground.
You are lonely for a relationship, need someone who is a leader and likes to engage you for a start.
Why don’t you look into finding some kind of group that you could be part of who shares a similar interest with yourself.
If you are going to be alone on Christmas why not look into volunteering for something, there are always nice women around doing that sort of thing. There is a no pressure to ‘date’ situation, you just get to know each other. There are certainly a number of other ways to look for love and companionship outside of bars.

I agree with you about bars/clubs. They are only good for hook-ups which isn’t my style.

Anything you put online can be viewed by anyone, & they can do anything they want with that information. That’s why I don’t do the whole social networking thing.

online dating site (the real ones) are actually protected and no one can view your information without an account. you only have to put up a few things like your interests and what town you live in, so there’s no chance of identity theft or harassment/stalkers.

but if it ain’t your thing thats cool :P just a suggestion.
