Today I saw a couple holding hands at the grocery store. I got a twinge of jealousy. I often think about how nice it would be to have someone to do all the mundane things with.
I keep wondering where all of the nice guys are. The ones who will open the door for me, and treat me with respect.
It's taken me a long time to realize that I don't meet these guys because I am actually attracted to the wrong type of guy. No, not the bad boy.
Mr. Unavailable. He seems nice, he's handsome, he's friendly, and he's emotionally unavailable.
As much as I claim to want to be in a relationship, the only men I seem to be attracted to are the emotionally unavailable men.
I realized that if I actually did meet a genuinely nice guy, who would treat me right, and invest his time and attention in me, I would most likely run for the hills.
Why?
Because I don't believe I'm good enough to get such a man. I don't think I'm worthy. He's out of my league and he's settling.
Luckily, I realize this and am trying to work on the insecurities that make me feel this way about myself.
Has anyone else had a similar situation?
