Are You The Problem? 8 Thoughts That Are Keeping You Single

“My expectations are too high”

You think you expect too much from love. Maybe you think your expectations for chemistry are too high, or that you’re too demanding of your partners. So you keep seeing a guy it’s just not there with. You go on 5, 6, 7…dates with a man that you feel no chemistry with telling yourself, “I’m broken in some way. I’m just incapable of feeling chemistry. He’s a good guy. I should make this work.” Of course, chemistry cannot be forced and you always eventually have to face the fact that it’s not there with this guy. But, you get so exhausted because you put yourself through so much time with a man you weren’t into, that you don’t want to date for a while. Learn to trust your gut and walk away when it’s not there. You’ll save yourself the energy you need to power through all the men you’ll have to power through before find thing right one. And trust me, there will probably be a lot to power through. Chemistry is hard to find.
