hey G, while I don't agree that you "attract" these situations into your life, I believe you seek them. We all do! Human beings repeat patterns that they are comfortable with. You know how to play the game and it's comfortable. That's not being judgmental, just realistic. I'm a social worker and I see it all the time (and I'm also a victim of myself too at times!). People have little self awareness and when they get hit by the same truck over and over they say "how did that happen again?" YOU are beginning to see your part in how these relationships come into being. YOU seek what is familiar and comfortable. Now, the trick is to change that...and awareness is the first step and you're taking it. Kudos to you. I also think the world of dating is kind of like a blood sport lol. When you go online you have to deal with multiple situations all coming at you at once. Rejection, deceit, uncertainty...you deal with all the broken stuff of others as well as your own! Your hopes rise and fall constantly. It ain't easy and it's emotionally hard sometimes. Know yourself and what you can handle, don't let others tell you how you should feel or not feel in your dating life...and it's Ok not to date. Be true to you G...babbling over
