You’re on the lookout for your ideal partner.

You are entitled to have high standards, but avoid becoming that person who is constantly searching the room for the next best thing.

You have some unresolved issues.

It’s possible that you’re unprepared for dating, at least at this stage of your life. If you find yourself repeating outdated relationship scripts from your past, such as feeling uneasy if the other person does not continuously text you, or if you are still hung up on your ex, consider taking a dating timeout.

Nobody wants to hear this, but let us be honest: baggage is a possibility. You can’t help it if you’re still bitter over your ex or your parents were less than ideal, and you’re repeating the same habits.

Your personality type is emotionally inaccessible.

There is nothing wrong with having a type unless your type is emotionally unavailable and has difficulty forming relationships.

If you do not learn the lessons that are intended to be learned in a relationship and from the people you have previously been drawn to, you will continue to have similar experiences.

Be aware of who you are drawn to and avoid the erroneous assumption that you can fix or alter someone.

Entering a relationship with the mindset that your spouse is a wounded bird in need of ‘fixing’ is a recipe for disaster.

You’re on the lookout for someone you require, not someone you desire.

Consider why you desire to be in a relationship. Your desire should not be motivated by a sense of desperation; no one can make you whole or meet all of your wants. You should be seeking an intriguing, equal partner, not an emotional caregiver to assist you in filling in the gaps in your life.

When you seek someone you desire rather than someone you require, you are most likely taking care of your own needs.

Concentrate on self-care and disabuse yourself of the illusion that a relationship is a quick fix for happiness or contentment with where you are in life.
