Psychologist, art therapist, graduate student of the Department of Psychology Khrystyna Chopko assures that in reality everything is simple - it is enough to understand what mistakes you make when looking for your love.
You don't know what kind of partner you want
It often happens that we understand what we do not want, but this is not the best option. Make a list for yourself of the characteristics that a potential partner should meet. Describe in as much detail as possible everything you need, and then reduce this list to a maximum of 10 items. And it is important that subjective things - such as height, weight, hair color - should be as little as possible, because you live with a person, not with a shell .
You have excessive requirements
It is important to understand who you are and what you can claim. Sometimes, it's true, you may not like it, but the reality is that we fantasize about our ideal partner and think that we will meet one. If this really happens, the question arises: what can you give to the other person? For every demand there must be a counterpart of what you give.
In addition, we often think that our partner should be without flaws, but such do not exist. Decide what you can put up with. It is worth going on dates with those people who seem just normal. Perhaps this person will not become the love of your life, but you will definitely gain communication experience.
You believe in love at first sight
Unfortunately, this almost never happens. At first glance, there may be physical attraction, passion, a spark may ignite, but love is a fire for which you first need to gather firewood, start it, and then maintain it. Sometimes it really happens that people understand at first glance that they are made for each other, but this is an exception, not a rule.
You believe that the period of love should last forever
As sad as it sounds, the butterflies in the stomach eventually disappear. Each relationship goes through a certain cycle, and after falling in love, there comes a period when we already understand that the partner is not perfect and we must learn to accept the shortcomings of the other. If conflicts arise, this is normal and means that you already look at each other more realistically. Crises in relationships are a common phenomenon, and you can go through them together, grow up and move on, or you can break up as soon as the first misunderstandings arise and not give yourself a chance to live with your loved one.
The fact that there are conflicts does not mean that feelings have passed. It is not necessary that "either - or", "and - and" also has the right to exist. There is love, but not everything suits you, and there are quarrels. And that's normal.
You are not ready to invest in a relationship
A healthy relationship is about giving the other person what they need. However, this should not cause you discomfort. And this approach should be from both sides. It is not necessary that the contribution should always be the same: today I do more, and tomorrow you do. However, the balance must be maintained. After all, another person's resource can simply run out. If you only draw water from a bucket, it will not become water, no matter what the volume is.
You are not ready to make compromises or you always give in
A relationship is not a one-way game. Both need to make choices and decisions, whether to take responsibility or give it away. If the other person has to constantly agree or choose, then sooner or later it will get boring. If you do not make compromises and always have to be the way you want, then over time the other person will feel that their interests are not taken into account, and a feeling of neglect may arise.
If the decision is made by someone else, then doubts will arise that you really know what you want, because you do not voice your wishes. In a healthy relationship, the partner will not be interested in someone who is unable to make decisions and take responsibility for part of the relationship.
You don't stand a chance after the first date
We often think that if there is no spark on the first date, then nothing will come of this relationship. In fact, a person can be worried, not know how to behave, and nervous for various reasons. If you think that the date generally went well, then go on another 2-3, and suddenly this person is your destiny.
Finding love is not the easiest task, if you don't succeed, then try not to act according to the script that you have always followed. Analyze your behavior and act differently. It might work.
