Men and Their Fear of Intimacy - Part 1

If fear, hurt and disappointment have kept you from entering into your ideal relationship know that you are not alone. When faced with a fear of intimacy, we have three options: quit and run, stay like a frozen piece of ice with no emotion or consciously choose to take a risk and feel the exuberance of being alive. To me, that means taking 100% responsibility for your relationships.

Women are usually taught at a young age to allow “prince charming” to come and sweep them off their feet. Many women watched Cinderella and Snow White when they were younger. Their mothers didn’t know that they were teaching their daughters to look for someone to rescue them and bring passion to their lives.

Is this you? We would love to hear your comments about this and we will continue this discussion next time!
