Begin By Looking Inward
Finding Mr or Ms. Right for a long-term relationship is more complicated than you think. Often, people end up dating potential partners unavailable because they have problems getting too close. Many of us have been hurt in the past by close relationships, and unconsciously we fear emotional intimacy, the very thing we want.
Finding the one Mr. or Ms. Right, look inward and ask yourselves these questions. Have you suffered much abandonment in your life? Have you been exposed to parents and others who have been controlling? Many people become frustrated because they repeatedly attract partners who are unavailable, dependent, maintaining, or even abusive. Longing to develop a dating connection that progresses into a long-term romantic couple relationship frequently ends in disappointment; this usually has to do with painful relationships in the past, starting in childhood.
Evaluate the emphasis you put on external factors in searching to meet the particular person known as the one. For example, how much power do you put on creating the perfect profile on dating sites or apps? Do you feel you must be at your goal weight, have the right clothes, or think something is wrong with yourself when you have trouble meeting people?
Many of you believe they would be a match if you could figure out and follow the proper rules of the first meeting. For example, some of the regulations include the correct interval of time to contact or when is the right time to become sexually involved. Are you preoccupied with external issues rather than looking inside yourself to discover possible problems?
Indeed, some external factors are important but often, people seeking relationships ignore the inside story. The most valuable evidence lies in one’s inner world. The motive to attract the wrong partner can begin in early childhood and is reinforced repeatedly by a person’s experience over time. The actual suspect lies in one’s first experiences.
You may feel helpless in avoiding falling into relationships that follow a pattern making it impossible to form a long-lasting relationship. But, again, the model can be derived from early family origin issues.
The first relationships are with our family of origin. Most families do not have the intention to have a baby and mess their baby up. However, parenting is complicated, including how a child fits into a family. Parents armed with parenting classes and manuals can get triggered by what reminds them of their past. The mother may lose perspective when interacting with the child.
The relationship children experience with parents and siblings and other meaningful relationships in their lives create an unconscious blueprint. It is this cold design that contributes to the attraction of particular partners. Unfortunately, people sleuth out partners with similar characteristics that were difficult for them to cope with as children. In a romantic relationship, partners often wish to change the unmet need in childhood through a romantic relationship that may have the same characteristics as the family of origin. The disappointment that each partner cannot give what the other has longed for dooms a relationship to frustration or failure and a loss of spirit, leaving the question of how to find MR or Ms. Right.

Your Attachment Style
A second internal factor that affects the choice of a potential partner is attachment style. Attachment patterns are formed in early childhood. Elements of attachment style include a child’s temperament and parental attachment styles. Four types of attachment styles affect children’s interpersonal associations throughout life.
Secure Attachments
The attachment style that helps relationships thrive is fast. Romantic partners with certain attachment styles tend to be most fulfilled in their relationship. Most women want this type of relationship. Both partners tend to be secure within themselves and can be present for the other in times of need. Partners can feel connected when they are together as well as when they enjoy their pursuits.
Anxious Attachments
People who have developed anxious attachment styles readily form bonds before they know the other. How often have you attributed characteristics to a partner you need but a potential partner lacks? Anxious attachments are typically characterized by those with a high need for the other. Their early childhood self appears and looks to the other to rescue or make them feel whole. There is a feeling of being unsafe or insecure in the world without others. Often by clinging to their partner, the partner feels smoother and pulls away.
Avoidant Attachments
Avoidant attachments are typically people who need to have an emotional distance from their partners. Usually, these partners’ parents have been unable to be nurtured or provide secure foundations for their children. Given a strong constitution, kids raise themselves and, as adults, seek isolation, tend to their needs, and have difficulty attending to their partner’s needs. Partners with this attachment style often feel anxious if they become too close or distant from their partners. They can be preoccupied with the fear of being abandoned or fear of losing themselves in relationships.
.
Spatial Intimacy
Types of intimacy include sexual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and, most importantly, spatial intimacy. Spatial intimacy comprises the proximity or the degree of closeness and separation each partner needs. Often spatial intimacy issues are the culprit for one partner feeling the other is unavailable. Therefore, spatial intimacy issues can be blamed on the other. Therapists are discussing the unavailable choice of partners their client has chosen. However, upon further exploration, it seems that a person who sticks with someone who is spatially unavailable because they need distance as well.
Emotionally Guarded
Do you wonder how others perceive you? Why do certain men approach you? Some people have had so much hurt and loss in their lives that unconsciously they safely present themselves. On the other hand, at times, individuals who need more spatial intimacy or are emotionally guarded attract others who also need space or are emotionally guarded.
