Once upon a time girl met boy. Girl and boy dated for almost a year, and were essentially girl/boyfriend in all but name only. But every time she asked him where they stood, he dragged his feet, and said that he would only commit to a woman who’s poised, sophisticated, and most importantly, full of self-confidence.
The poor girl was confused. What could she do to improve herself, to become the woman he needed so he would make them official? Get more education? Play coy? Pretend to have a crazy social life he knew nothing about?
The answer is: there was nothing she could do. See, here’s the irony: on one hand he claimed to find a highly confident girl attractive, but on the other hand he was doing everything he could to bring his companion down.
He demanded a confident girl, yet no such woman would allow a man to drag her along for a year without any sign of basic commitment. The whole idea of “proving her worth” was insulting and confidence-destroying. The more she was with him, the more he was turning her into the exact opposite of what he claimed he wanted.
He couldn’t have it both ways: a highly confident girl and one he could toy with. It’s a classic market collapse, and he’s just making excuses not to commit.
How did the story end? Girl dumped boy and lived happily ever after.
