Your struggles in love may be evidence of a past burden or wrongdoing that you're still paying the price for. Think about your past relationships, did you ever make a gross misstep against a partner before? Have you ever betrayed their trust or done something behind their back?

ADVERTISEMENT

If you really don't think you have, don't stress too much, as the wrong you would have to commit for this to be the reason you can't find love today would have to be very obvious. Though, considering past comments or criticisms (should you have any) from past partners could be a good way to reflect and better yourself for relationships to come.

Self-esteem troubles are, unfortunately, rather common. We can spend years and years trying to love ourselves to no avail. Though it's not intentional, that amount of hatred in your heart, even when aimed at yourself, can be what's preventing you from finding real romantic love.

That's not to say you have to be 100% confident all the time, but at the very least you have to learn to see your positive qualities. If you believe there's nothing good about you then how will you believe a partner when they say they love you? Is it a fair relationship if you can't trust the nice things they say about you?

To put it simply, sometimes the vibes are just off. Maybe there's been a lot of stressors in your life lately, or your heart hasn't been as open as it maybe should be. This type of inner strife can throw your energies way out of alignment and knock you off your course.

This is the simplest actionable cause to fix. Practice things like gratitude and mindfulness, or do spiritual exercises designed to help restore your vibrational energies back to their usual state. Only then will you start to see better prospects.

Waiting For Your Soulmate

It also might just not be your time. Even if it's been a while, even if you've already been patient, if you truly feel like none of these other elements apply, you might just have to keep waiting. Your soulmate is on their way to you. If there's nothing to change, then all you can do is wait.

In the meantime, there's nothing saying you can't work on improving some good relationship practices. Continue being open, communicate clearly, and always be honest. That way, when the time finally comes, these things will feel like second nature. You'll be an exemplary partner.

Behaviors That Will Keep You Waiting

Some smaller, everyday behaviors might also be affecting your romantic chances.

ADVERTISEMENT

Always staying in your comfort zone: If you never venture beyond what you're comfortable with, how can you expect to meet anyone new? Your perfect connection is out there beyond your realm of familiarity.

Not moving on from exes: This one's pretty self-explanatory. If you can't let go of past loves, you won't be able to grab onto new ones.

Idealistic views of love: If you only have one view of a relationship in your mind, one that's perfect, dreamy, and idyllic, you'll never be ready for love's reality.

Grounding Yourself

Extremely high standards: Having high standards isn't necessarily bad, but there is a limit. Everybody has faults, if you can't accept that in a partner, you're not ready for love.

ADVERTISEMENT

Insecure about being single: You can't let insecurities about being single or being single for a long time get in the way of your future. If you're so hung up on that label, you'll never grow past it.

Rely on antiquated norms: Say you're a woman who's just waiting for Mr. Perfect to sweep you off your feet. If you subscribe to the idea that only men are allowed to make the first move, then you'll be missing out on so many great romantic opportunities. This goes for all old-school beliefs about relationships.

Set intentions: As with any goal in life, you have to set objectives. While your goal can't be 'find my soulmate,' it can be something more like 'I'm going to go to that event this weekend and talk to someone new.'

Cultivate self-love: Loving yourself will help you open the doors to so many other opportunities for love, as well as deepen the love you already have for others.

Visualization techniques: This is a form of meditation that asks you to picture what you want most so you can manifest it into existence. This will also help you decide what you really want out of a relationship and what you want it to look and feel like.

Seek support: Talk to your friends or cherished family members about your struggles and how a lack of romance makes you feel. An outside perspective from someone you trust could offer great insight.

Trust divine timing: Have faith that your time will come. Waiting for it to arrive isn't easy, but it is worth it. So, so worth it.
