Dear Lucia,
Why is it that in every aspect of my life I'm level headed, except when it comes to men...I hold onto ones that I should let go of. How do I stop doing this? Nancy
Dear Nancy,
Don’t be so hard on yourself. No one is level headed when it comes to love. This is because logic and emotions operate on two different levels.
Logically, you may know something to be true (you need to let go of someone) but emotionally you don’t believe it. This may be what Einstein was referring to when he said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”.
The way to not have men in your life that aren’t right for you is to have a list of what you expect before you will be with a guy: job, car, emotionally available, etc. Otherwise, you may end up being with someone simply because they were nice to you in the beginning and you chose to overlook what was missing.
Don’t play hard to get, be hard to get. When you finally decide to take life seriously and play big, you will no longer be interested in people who play small.
