Dealing with Controlling Women

[EppsMJ]

So I'm currently dating this 35yr old woman (blonde, fairly attractive, divorced) who wants the say in everything --
she hardly lets me talk, wants to choose where we go and when. When I try and counter-act she just shoots
my view/opinion down and/or doesn't respond. (lately it's unanswered texts)

I'm curious to get other(s) opinion on how to handle this. Right now it's not looking good- I'm just thinking
of moving on to dating other women. Any thoughts? Thanks dudes.

Seems like it's her issue, and nothing to do with you personally. If you're already thinking about moving on then I think it's going to happen soon enough; you'll get sick of her behavior and leave.

If you're a bit more invested in her, and actually want it to keep going, then I guess you should probably sit down and talk with her, tell her that she's not letting you be heard, and clearly is trying too hard for whatever reason.

How old are you? That's fairly significant. If you're around her age then she may see you as a potential partner and be testing for that. If you're younger, she might think you're not going to stick around long and be testing you. Either way, doesn't sound like she's a particularly healthy person.

I can definetely see that she's "testing" me per say -- last week she invited me to church, which I haven't
been in years. Religious beliefs appear to be a high priority with this woman. (I'm 34, btw)

I've only been out with her on a couple of dates, so no real attachment.
