I've learned from experience that we are more likely to attract guys that might leave us heartbroken if we have self-doubt, struggle with insecurities and low self-esteem. Only if we accept that we are worthy of being treated with respect, care and appreciation are we able to set up boundaries that will save us from having our hearts broken. We have to learn to say no to guys that are emotionally unavailable and unable to give us a committed and healthy relationship. We are worth of so much more and need to make ourselves aware of this.

Love is a two-way street and remember that attraction changes from time to time, so cast a wide net. If you feel that you are attracted to folks who only pay you attention, then start seeing opportunities with those people you find attractive first, regardless of whether or not they're interested in you. Understand that not everyone you run into is the same, so balance the good with the bad, the new with the old. But first and foremost, start learning how to set boundaries so that you can protect your heart. Is there a particular situation that comes to mind? Let's set up a time to chat. I'm happy to see that you are here!

You have to set standards and boundaries and stick to them. We often attract what we feel, whether we know it or not, we are worth. When you're looking for a serious relationship, you have to decide what you want, what kind of person is worthy, and stick to that because you know that you're worth it. If you are attracting certain characteristics in people that don't seem to be compatible with you, you have to evaluate what in you is allowing that. Where are you finding people? Are you sticking to your conditions? Are you bending on what you feel is acceptable to you? Do you make excuses for them? You're worth what makes you happy, own that 😊

It can be a great challenge getting to truly know someone in the beginning stages of meeting a guy. I myself have had times where I misjudged a persons character, always remember that there is more guys out there and you deserve the best. Once you find him, you will know

In the midst of the way that society dictates how we should behave, we often forget that sometimes independence is important. If you feel like you are constantly getting your heart broken or meeting the wrong guys, sometimes it is best to step back and spend some time learning. This learning should be focused inward; learning to be intrinsically happy and motivated, not putting happiness in other people. As soon as you are secure with your own happiness, independence, and standards in life then you can begin to form a clearer idea of what you want in a partner.

Think about the kind of boys you're are attracting. What do they all have in common? Once you've identified a few of their bad qualities look for someone who exhibit the good qualities you need.

Get to know the guy first, find his personality. It usually helps in a lot of situations. It's always good to explore the man before jumping in.
