After all of my gender research I still think this way, and I cannot help it. Perhaps because everything I've seen in relationships in which a woman has "chased" after a man, has turned out to be one sided and unhealthy.Maria's Blog for Gender and Communicationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969146840300775377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792003587243876679.post-79036815007962054502009-06-22T05:18:52.277-07:002009-06-22T05:18:52.277-07:00I feel like most girls our age are having trouble ...I feel like most girls our age are having trouble finding a "healthy" relationship... We are at such a strange point in our lives where relationships hold a lot more potential than they may have when we were 14...16... even 18...
