27 Ways To Sabotage Your Chances At Finding The Love Of Your Life
By Kim Quindlen
1.
Stay with someone because you think you’re at the age where you have no choice left but to settle.
2.
Search for someone who will be your purpose in life, instead of your partner in life.
3.
Fall in love with someone who makes you choose between them and your dreams.
4.
Change yourself to be with someone because you’re convinced they’re your soulmate.
5.
Rather than searching for someone who would love you for exactly the person you are right now.
6.
Convince yourself that by being the less vulnerable one in your relationships, you somehow have the upper hand.
7.
Stay with someone not because you want to be with them, but because you’re too scared to be alone.
8.
Refuse to trust anyone, because you’ve been hurt by someone (or by many) in the past.
9.
Decide that it’s better to close yourself off to the possibility of love, because being safe is easier than risking pain.
