Since no one is perfect and we could all use a bit of polishing, let’s put it out there and admit that it’s a good thing to look at the behavior that might be holding us back from finding the happy, healthy relationship we all want and deserve. Here are 10 things you’re doing that’s preventing you from finding a great guy.
Reasons Why You Fall For The Same Type Of Guy Over And Over Again
#1 Your deflated belief in love
Focusing on all the obstacles and what might happen will absolutely leave you feeling deflated and overwhelmed. All that thinking can leave you exhausted, and thinking love is impossible — going from being asked out, to the first date, from girlfriend to meeting the parents, a life tragedy to marriage. So, in order not to disappoint yourself, you might decide it would be easier to give up or not put yourself wholeheartedly into the mix.
#2 You are not doing that you really want to do
When you believe that love is impossible and the mountain is too high, you will fail to go after what you really want. You are afraid that you might actually be happy and that love might work out for you. Out of fear and out of playing it safe, you go out with the man who is into you. If you go out with the man who is into you, there is no risk; you are in control of the outcome.
#3 You believe "happily ever after" only applies to others.
"Happily ever after" happens to someone that decides she will never give up, no matter what happens. She is someone that will take the risk and go after what she really wants. The woman who will stand up again and again after rejection, breakups and pain, and won't settle for the status quo.
#4 Negativity shows up when we are happy.
Our crap shows up when we are happy and the only way to avoid this is to be in a relationship with someone loving, caring and who actually supports you. Feelings of insecurity, jealousy or avoiding our childhood traumas will show up when we are happy. It is what we do about it affects the outcome.
You are afraid you may have to change in some way to acquire it, and change is scary because it is unknown. But it is also the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself. So take a risk and go after what you want.
