I am also glad that I found this forum just from surfing. For the past few months, I too, am starting to think that I am addicted to attention from men and it feels like it has come out of no where!
I've been in a relationship for 7 years and usually by year 5 I get bored or the person had potential but doesn't seem to be keeping my interest and I start looking for something new. I started to think that long term relationships arent my thing, but I think that I just dont pick the right person from the beginning.
This time around it's particularly bad because I am actively talking to 4 different men (I've not slept with any) and I get a rush just from the text messages, phone calls and emails! And actively have an ad on the internet!
My father was in the home, but he was an alcoholic for most of my life and my mother was an enabler so there wasn't much attention being paid to me from what I can remember. I kinda faded into the woodwork, sometimes gladly. I never had many boyfriends and never really had many men actually approach me.
This attention thing is generational because my mother had 2 children by 2 different men but the time she was 19, her father had been killed in a car accident and her mother was dating an alcoholic after that. She, too, was actively seeking attention.
My next move is therapy. This attention thing is a serious drug!

There is truth in what you've said. The whole piece too is that people know when you're not all that happy being with them anymore so there's no such thing as hiding it. It takes me a minute, but it'll happen and yes I am making myself miserable.
