Why do I keep attracting the same type of men
He walks in, and before the first evening is over, something in you says: this one. A few months later you're in the same story again, with a different face.
It's not that you pick them with your eyes open. It's that very early, your stomach tightens when he takes too long to answer, and you call that attraction. He's a little far away, a little hard to read. You watch your phone, you wonder what he thinks of you.
It gets me right in the chest, how easily waiting passes for a spark.
The one who answers, who says what he wants, who stays, seems almost dull. Nothing tightens in your stomach, so you decide there's nothing there. Meanwhile, with the others, you spend your evenings making yourself good enough to be chosen. You give a lot, you get little back, and what comes to you without effort goes by unseen.
Is that you?
Sometimes we mistake waiting for a spark.
I was wondering…
What scares you about someone who already wants you, before you've done a single thing to deserve it?
