TOO NICE?

This is a good way to get this thing started. I now have a buddy that is all messed up because the woman he was dating broke up with him. The reason, because he was too nice!!! He was the romantic, flowers for no reason, giving you your space, type of guy. So my question is this, if he was too nice, does that mean that some women want a guy to be mean? LUNACY I TELL YOU!
