What should you be aware of if you find yourself consistently attracting an unavailable partner? Youd be surprised how many men and women just dont see the pattern. They bounce from one bad relationship to another, never connecting the dots to realize what all their partners have in common. By finding the common thread -- that theyre all unavailable, and thats why the relationships dont work out -- youve taken the first step. Of course, in some cases, it can be coincidence. Sometimes you just happen to fall for two people in a row who are unavailable. Two is a coincidence. Three starts to sound more like a pattern. Think about your past relationships. Why didnt they work? Were there a variety of factors, or are they attributable to more or less the same thing? If you think youve fallen into the trap of pursuing partners you cant or shouldnt have, stop to think about why that might be. What was your parents relationship like? How was your relationship with them? Have your recent romantic failures paralleled it at all? Consider also whether you have other baggage that could be stopping you from enjoying a healthy relationship. Often these are self-esteem issues. For example, womens magazines are full of articles about women who dont feel worthy of a good relationship, who feel like they dont deserve a good man so they constantly take the scrubs instead. Improve your love for yourself and you may find your behavior improving to match it. -ArticlesFactory
