Dating can be an exhilarating journey, but it can also be full of pitfalls. When it comes to good men, certain behaviors or patterns might cause them to lose interest. It’s important to remember that it’s not about you as an individual, but these patterns that might repel higher quality men. Understanding and modifying these behaviors could enhance your dating life.
- Constant distraction during dates
This is usually demonstrated by incessant phone use, including texting friends or taking unnecessary calls during the date. Other distractions could include preoccupations preventing you from being present. Being fully present and engaged is essential in forming a connection with your date. This involves connecting from an authentic emotional place, which can evoke feelings in the man as well, strengthening the connection.
- Creating unnecessary drama
This often emerges from a feeling of losing control or a fear of inadequacy. As a result, you may find yourself getting upset and expecting him to adjust his behavior accordingly. Often, this pattern is subconscious, leading to a misplaced blame on the other person. Healing and changing your belief systems are critical to overcoming this pattern. It’s also essential to relinquish control over things you can’t change and to replace your expectations with appreciation.
- Inconsistent behavior
While occasional fluctuations in behavior can pique a man’s interest, excessive inconsistency can appear abusive and unattractive. Examples include ignoring a man and then becoming overly affectionate, or vice versa. Consistency is key to fostering certainty and a sense of security in a relationship.
- Unhealthy conflict resolution
Your approach to conflict resolution significantly influences how a man perceives a potential relationship with you. Unhealthy habits can include avoiding conflict altogether, ignoring the other person, reacting explosively, or refusing to accept responsibility for your part in the conflict. It’s essential to understand that mature adults approach conflict by engaging in constructive discussions, prioritizing their relationship over the issue at hand.
- Adopting low-value patterns
Remember, there are no low-value people, only low-value patterns that people can fall into. Examples of such patterns can include self-deprecation, generalizing or dehumanizing men, sharing a history of failed relationships, or showing a pattern of allowing men to mistreat or disrespect you. To attract a high-value man, it’s important to adopt high-value patterns. This can involve changing your beliefs about yourself and relationships, thinking highly of yourself, maintaining a positive outlook, and communicating that you are treated well by men.
Remember, no one is perfect, and everyone may exhibit some of these behaviors. The key is not to criticize yourself but to understand these patterns and work on improving them for a healthier and more fulfilling dating experience.
