Girls who lead on shy boys

Ok so i'm fed up with this girl. I need to vent.

I am a simple computer programmer (read: nerd). and there's this girl from my work. i think she secretly enjoys tormenting me. she knows she has something i want and that i have nothing she wants. prancing around me in tight fitting clothing and heels is a power trip for her. i try to ignore her but she's everywhere. also i know she doesn't like me -- she almost never smiles and can even be rude at times, but she makes it obvious taht she is trying to flirt. (fix simple computer problem, ask my opinion something that she already knows, getting way into my personal space). Every encounter stresses me out like venturing into the nest of a black widow.

It's a well known fact that a man's obsession with sex is much greater than a woman's. a man is a simple creature: man sees attractive woman, man is aroused. while a woman, especially a high achieving one with a good career, does not have much need for a man -- why not have a harem of suitors vying for her attention instead?

I want to say that i'm over these games. the sad thing is that a part of me actually wants it to go on. i want her attention. i want her to use and abuse me -- me and only me. i know i need to be better than that. i deserve better.

The only saving grace in all of this, ironically, is my shyness and distrustfulness (a functioning bs meter). i think if she'd put on a slightly better show, the ruse would've worked. (three tips: 1. don't agree with everything i say; 2. actually pretend to get to know me; 3. don't send mixed signals 4. don't make me hold your purse)

the takeaway in all of this is that if you meet a woman who is crazier than you are -- you stay the f away ok? it's for your own good. :sad:

The sex thing, I don't necessarily agree, but I'll give you that one for the sake of this circumstance. But just because some woman don't need men for sex doesn't mean they don't need them for other things, such as intimacy and love. The need for intimacy and love can be just as powerful as the desire for sex in males. And trust me, I know horniness, so I'm fully aware of how consuming it is. Having said all that, it's your vent. You're entitled to feel what you feel. I wish you good luck with it. Just don't make it worse by acting out against her. If you're wrong about her intentions then it's not fair to her. And if you're right, you'll just be feeding the beast.

You want to know how I got these scars?
Stop showing any interest in her. She might treat you better. But personally, I'd stay the hell away from her.

Yeah a part of me really wants to like her and trust that her intentions are good. (moved back to my hometown, don't have friends and that makes me needy). but I've known this girl from teh 7th grade. and now we're 25 and she still acts like a 12 year old spoiled princess. i fear intimacy and love is not what she is after. That's why i made it my mission to hate her -- makes things easier.

She knows i don't have friends. What i need to do is find some. that's what i must do. Also, try to distance myself like you guys said.
 
are you the only guy she's treating like that?...or is there more

There was one intern guy (also coder) that she used to hang out with at lunch -- but i've never seen them together any more. not sure what happened. And then there's a phd student next to her cubicle who suddenly started dressing really well :blushing:. but no I haven't seen it first hand. If she flirts with other guys she's very discreet about it. Even with me it's mostly when we go out for lunch as a group, or after people are gone after work. She's a social chameleon. Almost takes on a different personality depending on what she wants and who she's talking to, and she talks to almost everyone. It's very jarring for me to see this 'shapeshifting" in action.

I think she is being manipulative for the sake of it.. for a power trip, or to create drama where these is none, for the jollies. I don't think she wants anything else.

Act indifferent. If anything good was to come of this, or if indeed she *does* want something, the only way to get that would be with indifference. You can't lose this way, and there is a slight possibility you might even win.
