So I am thinking that part of the problem in relationships I have had is the mates I have attracted. I don't really understand how attraction works. I think if I can understand it, I could better correct that problem. I know that part of the problem of attracting wrong mates and the preliminary anxiety I have (which maybe part of the attraction) is becuase how my mental tape plays out. I have made affirmation tapes about feeling loved, attracting the right person, and a dozen other qualities that I believed would manifest a loving partner in my live, but to no avail. Attraction is a wierd thing. I believe it could be understood unlike the saying "God works in mystery ways". Which is true, but if it could not be understood then, cause and effect would be pointelss.
