DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-year-old female. I'm working on a degree, have a job, but have never had a serious boyfriend. I don't have a problem socializing with men, but I'm interested in them only until they ask me out. I'll go on a date or two, then I'll be done with them. It doesn't matter if they're sweethearts or bad boys. It seems I like only what I can't have.
Is there something wrong with me, or will it be different when I meet "the one"? -- ALWAYS SINGLE IN OHIO
DEAR ALWAYS SINGLE: It appears you like the chase more than the reward. While it may be different when you meet "the one," recognize that you have established a pattern. There is more to a relationship with a man than getting his attention. You also have to NURTURE it.
