I definitely get many emails from people who seek drama. They know intellectually that a quiet, steady guy is the perfect person, but their emotions have trained them that "dangerous exciting is fun". It's sort of a sad commentary on the way our society is. Movies extol the "bad boy" who hurts you but you chase him anyway. It teaches women to seek out abusive mates.

I get a lot of email from guys who are frustrated by this. They treat a girl wonderfully, and then she goes off with the ex who hit her.

If it seems like this might be the case here, think of ways to give her that adrenaline fix without the silly drama. Take her horseback riding. Heck, take her bungee jumping. Show her that relationships can be exciting and fun without being damaging.
