A young lady emailed me about her last break up.  After dumping her, he started dating someone rather opposite to who she was.  She ended her email with the question: Why do guys dump nice girls?

I wish I had a helpful answer to this question: Why do the nice guys/girls get overlooked.   After covering dating and relationships for so long, I can only tell you that the right ones don’t.  In other words, people go through a period of their dating career being attracted to the types who are flashy, noisy, or edgy.

I believe a lot of us outgrow this and eventually discover that the heart breakers are to there to be lessons, not lifelong mates.  Still, we are like moths to a flame when it comes to what gets our attention, aren’t we?

When do you think we stop chasing the forbidden fruit?  Does anyone want to weigh in on the young lady’s question, Why do guys dump nice girls?  Should the nice girls/guys be thankful they were spared?

Have you ever dumped the nice girl/guy?  Do you regret it or do you think the timing was just bad?  Should we try to find those nice folks from our past and show the we are ready for the nice, more appropriate relationship?
