Can you consider me as being needy or desperate?

I am that kind of person who falls for EVERY guy who may have a thing for me or may come close to my heart in any possible way. I do not know if it is a sickness or a problem that needs resolution. It may be love, mere infatuation or simply just a crush, but either way a feeling developed through just closeness and caring to me by every guy. --Advice?--(^^,)

I was always staying away from the opposite gender when I was younger, but the girls kept asking me out, sending yes-no letters, and even blowing kisses. I found it a little uncomfortable to be around girls, because they all called me cute and wanted to be my boyfriend, while all I wanted was someone to hang out with, to play video games with, to maybe draw random stuff with. As I became older, I grew more comfortable around girls, and I'm keeping an eye out for the girl of my dreams, but I don't know if she'll ever come my way. To answer your question, you could very well be needy or desperate, but that's a personality trait some people like, and I suggest you stay the way you are if you're comfortable with yourself... and around others.

You should know yourself first and what you want in life. Otherwise this cycle will never end. Knowing what you want will weed out the people who are not going to support your goals. Use your head over your heart girl. That's the only way. Or else you're heading for a lot of trouble and heartache. You can avoid these by simply thinking about what you want and standing up for them. A guy loves a woman who knows herself and knows what she wants. I'm not talking about just any guy, but the right guy for you. So love yourself first, know yourself, then the right guy will find you eventually. Okay? Take care.

I think you are a little young to be needy or desperate, however I do know that Filipinas are very caring people and do tend to fall for any guy that shows some interest, even if it is only friendship. I am married to a Filipina, she's a little older than you and very affectionate and caring towards me and also her Filipina friends here in the UK. I can however relate to what you are saying as my wife's sister-in-law, who is single, managed to get herself emotionally very attached to my best friend who was my best man at our wedding. Despite warning her not to get attached or expect anything from him whilst she was showing him around and generally looking after him to make sure he didn't get into trouble, he showed his caring side and was very good to her and her family. He bought her gifts as a gesture of thanks for looking after him and even went back and spent some time with her the following year. They have kept in touch with occasional email and texts but he has his own life here. She, however is still living in the hope that he will go back for her, that, I am almost certain, will not happen. We keep telling her to forget him, but, I think like you, she has reponded to his generosity. I would suggest that you try not to get too close, get to know the guy first, what are his interests, likes and dislikes, do they match yours? I was very lucky in that my wife and I have very similar likes, dislikes, interests and outlook for our future and hopefully one day in the not too distant future, we will be back in the Philippines to end our days together. Good luck, I'm sure you will meet Mr Right eventually, just be patient.

Well, i am a true blooded Filipina and i guess attachments and caring for others are some of our best aspects. Once I am given a hint or suspicion that there could be something between us, be it a similarity or exchange of positive feelings for one another, I could never help but wonder about him and treat him differently from any other. So i couldn't blame your wife's sister-in-law. Just give her time and tell your friend to stop encouraging her as much as he can. You are so lucky with your wife cause we filipinas are so lovable!LOL. But seriously, i'm glad for your happy ending. Thank you for the advice.It helped a lot!(^^,)

I think love is not that relation which is built on some benefits from each other, if you are fond of someone because of something he has to you, then you love what he has and you don't love him for his personality. also love can't be for several persons as you can't fall in love with several persons in the same time and if it's, so something is wrong with you as love is a relation between one person and one person and can't be a relation between one person and several persons unless it's another relation rather than love as friendhsip for example.

I respect your opinion. I may have a problem or maybe it's just not love. Maybe I'm just being fond of someone for his action towards me, isn't that considered to be being needy? He does this action that i need and as a result i like him for it (as in attraction). Thank you for the advise!(^^,)
