Since many women are emotional creatures while in love, they often become confused. Simple relationship mistakes such as confusing a want with a need can result in women dating men who are not compatible with them.

Every woman's goal should be to identify those small relationship mistakes that cause most, if not all, of their problems. The results will lead to a happier life.

What also hurts women is their rush to get into a relationship to avoid being alone. Many women have paid a heavy price by moving too fast such as losing their life, contracting a sexually transmitted disease or being abused to name a few.

Every unhappy relationship that ended has small nuggets of wisdom women can learn from. Plus, each of those relationships most likely ended for same reason although it may not appear that way!

If you find he doesn't do it for you, cut him loose. But if you find that every guy who shows genuine interest (or wants to take things to next level) doesn't do it for you, if you find yourself continually attracted to unavailable (emotionally or otherwise) men who love you and leave you, ask yourself if you--yes, you!--are a commitmentphobe.

If answer is yes, figure out what scares you about commitment. Work your way through it. Before long, you'll find yourself attracted to better men.

And in time, you'll find yourself waking up every morning next to man with whom you enjoy a fun, loving, and commited relationship. All former struggle, strain, and strife will be long forgotten.
