The flip side of my dad story is, he loved me so unconditionally, I'm always kind of shocked when boyfriends don't treat me the same way!
I think we just have to work extra- hard to be aware of our patterns. Don't turn away the nice guy who is really into you. Don't keep after the guy who doesn't call you. I'm working on that right now, as my latest date is turning out to be a flake. My instinct is to make excuses for him - but I know really I should run for the hills and don't look back.
