If You’re Dating The Same Guys, Maybe You Need To Change Something

Have you ever stopped to think that men aren’t the problem? Maybe you’re the real problem. That doesn’t mean you’re unattractive or unlovable — you might just be making the same bad decisions over and over again. That’s why your relationship status won’t change until you do.

  1. You can’t do the same thing and expect different results. If you’re not meeting any eligible men on Tinder, then you should either switch to using a different dating site or actually leave the house to search for someone new. Your life won’t magically change. You have to help it along.
  2. You can’t change your situation. But you can change your attitude and your routine. Those things are within your control. So if you’re sick of being single and want to find a boyfriend, go to new places and interact with new types of men.
  3. Don’t change the big things. You shouldn’t alter your personality or your looks, just so you have an easier time finding someone to date. All you have to do is change the small things, like how often you make the first move and which bars you visit. That way, you’ll still be yourself, but you’ll have a higher chance of finding a boyfriend.
  4. Don’t be stubborn and set in your ways. It’s clear that whatever it is you’re doing isn’t working. Don’t be stubborn by going after the same type of men and making the same relationship mistakes for a third and forth and fifth time. Your exes taught you what not to do, so use your past experiences as learning tools.
  5. Staying the same will attract the same men. You don’t want to end up in the same crappy relationships that you usually do, do you? Well, if you don’t make any changes of your own, then you’re going to end up with a man exactly like your ex. The cycle of dating a-holes and being dumped by a-holes will continue until you stop it yourself.
  6. You can’t grow without change. You’re not the same person that you were when you were a little kid, because you’d never survive your 20s and 30s if you were. Even though you’re an adult now, change is still a necessity. If you stay the same, you’ll never get where you want to be in life.
  7. You always have something to work on. You’re not a perfect person. No one is. There’s always something that you can work on that’ll help you become a better person, so try to figure out what you’d like to improve on and then get to work.
  8. Change isn’t something to fear. It’s something to embrace. Aren’t you tired of living the same boring life? If you make a few changes, no matter how small, it’ll make your days a lot more exciting.
  9. Change will present you with opportunities. When you try new things, you’ll meet new people. You’ll have new experiences. That means you might be able to leave your single days behind and start a healthy new relationship.
