Some individuals feel that they are just naturally attracted to bad relationships and they can't see any hope for a lasting bond with a partner in the future.
There is no need though for anyone to feel this way, or to just sit back and resign themselves to a future of loneliness.
To begin with, chances are if you have adopted this attitude then someone that you were once close to or that you cared about, hurt you deeply.
You took this rejection as being your fault.
Well, lets stop right here because remember one thing, and that is a relationship takes two.
Nobody is all to blame.
Even if you never got to first base in a relationship that you were hoping for, not you or the other party was totally to blame for this.
The first step you need to take is preventative for your future love life.
This means scrutinizing just where you are at right now in your outlook.
If its as mentioned above, meaning you consider it to be pretty bleak, then you need to work on this.
You need to decipher what your faults were in the relationship gone bad, and what the weaknesses were in the other party.
Once you do this and you discover that it wasn't all you, then things are going to look a little brighter.
The second step is now take a close look at what your faults were.
If it was something of a physical nature, for example you were overweight or unkempt according to the standards of the other person, do you believe you could have done something to change this? If you feel that your appearance is what is holding you back then it may be time for a total makeover.
One word of caution though, if you are seeking out the love and attention from an individual who makes appearances their priority, then ask yourself if this is the type of person you really want in your life? Also, it may be worth while taking a look at just what type of person it is that you are trying to attract? Are you avidly seeking out some totally off the wall good looking guy or gal? Or someone that is a professional in some field and is highly educated which you are not? If so, then examine your reasons for doing this.
Is it because you are truly attracted to this particular type of person, or are they something you want to be, and being with them is the next best thing? In other words are you looking at other people to build your self esteem? When trying to determine why you are not faring well in your relationships there are so many different aspects to look at.
Chances are you are missing a lot of important points that could be making a real difference in the success of your romance.
The key is though, don't give up.
You have the right to happiness and whether you believe it or not, that right person is out there waiting for you.
