Breaking the pattern.

Last week, one of my favorite website, The Frisky, posted an article about dating habits: “10 Unhealthy Dating Patterns And How to Break Them.”

I am a sucker for any article relating to dating, but I’m usually shocked at just how true they are. This article was no different.

While yes, I know there are a few patterns I need to get over…I just didn’t realize how many I had!

Number one on the list I am certainly guilty of: Getting Lost in the Fantasy. In other words, perhaps after one date with a guy, I start to daydream about additional dates, a serious relationship, and…perhaps even marriage. Oh my God, it’s embarrassing just to type!

The Frisky suggests keeping busy after a date so your mind doesn’t dwell and fantasize; also, refusing not to discuss the details with friends. I agree with these solutions, although it’s fun to fantasize and talk to your friends about “what ifs” it just leads to confusion and perhaps bigger heartbreak down the road.

Some of the other patterns include being involved with unavailable men, wanting to fix the other person, and seeking approval. What are some of your dating habits?
