Why You’re Stuck on the Same Type

Have you dated the same type of person over and over again? Even if the relationship didn’t work out, there is something about the “type” that still pulls you back. Well, this is not a coincidence but how we are wired to find familiarity in what feels comfortable to us.

It is a common scenario where people choose a partner who resembles a person or something in their past. Each individual has an image of an ideal partner, and they try to find similarities between this image and the person they are going out with. These characteristics may feel safe or even bring challenges, but they are still attractive. Our brains love patterns, even when they are bad for us, just like that toxic ex you couldn’t let go of.

Why It Happens

Picking partners of the same type tends to happen more out of the need to feel comfortable. As the adage goes, better the devil you know than the one you don’t. For most people, this sense of familiarity digs its roots deep into early experiences; how they were loved and cared for (or not) while growing up.

Sometimes, it’s because of unresolved emotions. Without knowing it, they would recreate the same situation with relationships, trying to fix broken hearts that were damaged long before their partner in the present came into the picture. Leaving them feeling trapped in a loop where they repeat mistakes and go chasing after the same kind of comfort.

How to Break Free

You have to break the cycle from within. Reclaim your power when it comes to dating. Look in the mirror. The very first step is self-awareness. Understand your pattern. Then, try to make a change. Consider your relationship history, not just romantic relationships but also friendships, and then identify how the choice of person or the relationship dynamic all fit a common pattern of experience.

Next, it’s about learning how to find your special someone. Discover the secrets to choosing the right match for you by stepping outside your comfort zone. If you’ve always been attracted to a certain “type,” now might be the time to experiment with someone different.

Another thing that can make a big difference is awareness of your dating style. Are you a non-dater, an avoidant dater, or maybe even a juggler? Understanding the 6 dating styles that you and they can help you to avoid fights and build healthier connections.

When the dating stage finally turns into a relationship, it’s time to focus on the next steps in love. By building a solid foundation, you can unlock the magic that brings lasting happiness.
