Love In All The Wrong Places

Could it be that you are looking for love…in all the wrong places? Oohh, sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Think about it. If you seem to be striking out at every turn, end up with all the wrong partners, and so on. Then hold on a minute there.

Could it be that you are looking for love…in all the wrong places? Oohh, sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Think about it. If you seem to be striking out at every turn, end up with all the wrong partners, and so on. Then hold on a minute there.

That constant journey looking for love may actually be getting you nowhere. Well, nowhere but trouble and heartache. You see, there may just be a pattern developing here. It seems like you are attracting all the wrong people. Why do we say this? Ask yourself one simple question: is heartache and constantly being left in tears a good thing? We thought so too.

So what or who then are the “wrong people”? What constitutes “wrong”?

• People who are simply in it for a good time: This is probably the most common “wrong person” there is. The person who simply wants to have fun - at your expense. This could be the bloke who wants sex without any commitment. Or the lady who simply wants to feel good about herself while leaving you down in the dumps. This is the type of person who is there when things are fine and dandy. When the going gets rough however, they are nowhere to be found.

• People with a bad attitude. You know the type. They shout at waiters and any blue-collared bloke on the street. Cursing at every opportunity. They will drive you bonkers just looking at their face turn red with all that anger.

• People who never stop talking about themselves. This one actually speaks for itself. They always hog the limelight. Sure, they will ask you how your day went. When you do start to talk however, they will listen. Until you pause to catch your breath. Then their chatter goes on again. And you will never hear the end of it. It’s “I, me, myself” all the way home.

• Constantly complaining. These are the ladies or gents who will find fault in everything they see, touch or come in contact with. From the trivial to the most outrageous details, they will always have an opinion. A negative opinion. They are never satisfied.

• Liar, liar. These are people who are incapable of telling the truth. They will always have a fib for everything you ask them. They have gotten so used to it that to them this kind of behaviour is normal. It eventually becomes the truth.

So don’t keep looking for love from such people. Have a bit of respect for yourself. You deserve better. While no one is perfect, it isn’t wrong to look for better qualities, right? Enough said.
