Is it normal to get bored of people?

I don't want to sound like an asshole but I kind of am because I always do the same thing with guys (I'm a female btw). They flirt, I flirt back, they get their hopes up, I get bored/tired/sick of them or I'm just too lazy to keep flirting so I leave them hanging. I generally do this when texting, or chatting or whatever. In person I tend to do it less (I still do it though). I don't know why. I just think at first "meh, I'll reply later". And then I completely forget and I never reply. And then the send something like "are you there?" and I just ignore them until they eventually get tired and quit trying. I know it sucks but I can't help it. I always do the same thing, I even get mad at myself for it! Some guys keep texting 20-30 more times until they quit (I'm not exaggerating). And sometimes, months later, I reply and then I do the same thing over and over again. Surely I can't be the only one?

    When they say, "are you there?", Learn to reply with, "Goodbye, I'm moving on." It's courteous. This closure will help them give up on you quickly.

    I do this, but its out of mindless boredom. My attention is selfish. At first, if what seemed to spark my curiosity happens to deflate, that's it.

    20 - 30 times? That's extreme and irritating. No way could I deal with that. You need two separate numbers. One for true friends, the other for everybody else. Its like having a junk email account.

    Maybe you just like the initial attention, but is actually scared to let the innocent flirting turn into something more deep and fake your true feelings with boredom/indifference? If that's the case think it's normal.

    I do the same thing sometimes. But I really can't help it. And then the guys that I really have a thing for, I act really shy around in person. Its so weird. And I hate being called a tease when I dont even mean to act so misleading.

    Anyway, I don't really know what to tell you, because I kind of have a little bit of the same problem myself.

    I know that most people think that astrology is a crock of shit, but I have a feeling some of it is dead on for myself. I always thought it was a bit far fetched, until I saw my birth chart one night. I have venus in gemini, and I think you might have it too. Seriously, it sounds pathetic, but check it out. I actually find it quite embarrassing just telling you about this, but I think its really true for myself. Sadly.

      Astrology isn't pathetic, and neither are you. I think some of it is pretty accurate about people to.

      Thanks for the reply, glad to know I'm not the only one.
      And as for the astrology I don't know anything about it, but it's not lame at all :)

      I'm an Aries. And I feel the same way. And yeah, guys tend to say same shit over and over again. With corny ass flirting. All my guy friends are like that. I try and keep it fun. But I get bored myself with chicks. It sucks.

    Honestly I feel the same way. All of my friends are the same, well at least my relationship with them is. We talk and talk and eventually I know everything about them. All I have are good friends, which I'm thankful for. But after awhile the relationships get tedious because I know everything about them. Recently I tried to start a new relationship with a close friend of mine. We were talking friends with benefits and how the idea interested her, so I asked her if she wanted have a friends with benefits relationship with me (because that idea interested me to and frankly it would've been a great way to break away from my usual relationships). Well she looked me in the eye and told me that she didn't find me attractive, so no. Anyways, we're still friends, but I get where you're coming from, I'm almost bored with most of my good friends.
