Do you sometimes feel like a dating hand-me-down
This is a feeling that has struck me several times in the past few years. You date someone, get to know them and for whatever reason it just doesn’t work out.
They may break it off with you or you may break it off with them. It really doesn’t make any difference who moved on first.
Then somewhere down the road, maybe a couple of months, maybe a year, you find out they’re engaged or even got married.
Wait! What just happened? We were just together and now this? How could they move on so quickly?
It can really make you wonder, “What’s wrong with me?”
Do you have room for a new relationship in your life?
I’ve discovered that the longer you’re single, the harder it can be to let someone new into your life. For example, I’ve been divorced nearly 11 years. I have become fairly set in my ways.
I have certain routines, specific places that I put things, and some fairly rigid ideas of how things should be done.
When you get to this point you can be closing the door to some great relationships because you have become inflexible in your ways.
Is my way the right way and the only way of doing things?
