You prioritize what you want over what you need.
You may want a man who makes good money, but really need someone who can be financially responsible, and these two parameters are not always found in the same person. So even your fulfilled wishes will not necessarily lead to a stable relationship. Instead of thinking about what you want in a future partner, think about what will contribute to a healthy, long-lasting relationship.

Not setting aside enough time for dating
If there are people in the world who are absolutely free and do not devote all their time to ambitious projects, then I am not familiar with them.

Having too many work plans in your schedule won't help you find love.

You don't give people a chance
It's important to ask yourself: are you assessing potential partners too quickly? Maybe you have overly strict criteria like: height 180, blond, lives no further than two metro stations. If you don't give someone a chance, you may find years later that they would have been an otherwise perfect partner. In general, if you think about it, we are not born with one ideal soul mate. Lots of people can be “your type”, so all you have to do is find out what kind of person they are.
Chatting with someone who isn't that interested
A game of cat and mouse usually ends with the cat getting tired and remaining as hungry as before the hunt began. You can follow the person who seems to be the best thing in your life, and maybe the Great Love Story will be written about you, but in the end it will break you into pieces. If you have the feeling that the person to whom you devote most of your time does not value this at all and does not make you a priority, then you should let go of this situation and move on.

- How to confess your love in English
The power of love is so great that this feeling is difficult to express in words. Sometimes it deprives us not only of the power of speech, but also of the ability to think clearly and even to be ourselves. Love inspires you to do great deeds and crazy things, it makes you forget about yourself, and gives you an incredible range of emotions. At all times, love (even unrequited) has inspired artists, musicians, writers and poets to new creative achievements. The most beautiful poems, songs and paintings are dedicated to her.
We have prepared a list of bright and inspiring quotes about love. If you can't express your feelings, Shakespeare, Byron and other famous creators will help you.

Ignore your burnout
It's impossible to succeed at anything if you're burned out, and that applies to dating too. If you feel that you are already tired of getting to know each other, and each new meeting is similar to the previous one, then take a break! A month or two is a good time to get everything in order.
