I have the unenviable ability
To scare girls away after being with them for only a couple of weeks…

The asking out isn’t the problem – every girl I’ve asked out has said yes, which I suppose is a minor plus point (well, apart from one girl who I accidentally asked out whilst ridiculously drunk, but let’s not go there). However, after my first serious relationship which lasted around a year, I had a spate of several relationships which ended after 5 days, 2 weeks, and a month respectively.

In each case, no reasons were given, and I’ve no idea what the problem was – well, with the exception of the third one, which I’m fairly sure was as a result of excessive alcohol consumption. Me and some friends were invited over to a birthday party at the then girlfriends uni halls; this being uni, of course we naturally assumed it would be a party of the drunken variety. Even if it was on a Sunday… So we turned up a wee bit merkled on vodka, only to discover that it was in fact a *gasp* sober party – hilarity ensued. Namely, the girlfriend refusing to speak to me, one of my mates getting a bit sweary, and another spectacularly failing to match co-ordinates with his chair. However, the shit successfully matched co-ordinates with the fan the next morning… Anyway, I’ve rather majorly digressed.

Thankfully, things are going swimmingly with the current girlfriend, and we’re now coming up to the four month mark, so it would appear I’ve succeeded in not scaring her off =)
