Why do we continue doing what we know DOESN’T work for us?

Karin says

I wish I had the answer to the question: 

Why do we continue doing what we know 

DOESN’T work for us?

I’m not talking about the small weaknesses in life that make us human, such as:

  • The ample slice of “Reeses Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cheesecake” I ordered planning to make it last for several desserts.  (It did last — but I ate all the desserts in one night!)

  • My pile of should-read, New York Times bestseller books on my nightstand that I blow off for guilty-pleasure-TV such as “Rescue Me,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “30 Rock,” etc.

  • Spoiling my dog by treating him as a human — letting him sit on the furniture, sleep in my bed, feeding him from the table and sharing my human food with him.

No, I’m talking about the MAJOR life decisions that continue to F-up our lives, such as (true story):

An acquaintance who tells me he doesn’t need my coaching because he sleeps with a lot of women, but continues to email me his dating exploits such as:  

“I had yet another crack at dating last week.  She is a very smart, funny, beautiful, exciting, Delicious lady.  Being in her presence is making me feel like 16 again, I feel the butterflies in my stomach, I experience the feeling of sheer delight when being able to converse with her on many levels, but…sorry, I cannot do it.  Once again those red flags rise above my head saying: “It’s not worth it”

Being the true gentleman I am I was honest with her and explained how we should not pursue this further and how she should not blame herself.  She was somewhat surprised but was OK with it.  She appreciated my honesty….especially since she is married. ”

He’s like so many people I know (including myself) who are smart in so many areas yet continue making such monumental mistakes in love.  

Everyone knows that dating a married person is a lose, lose situation.  It’s a guarantee of unhappiness and bad endings. 

Of course, so is continuing to date someone who isn’t right for you or being fearful of online dating and spending yet another holiday, birthday, summer, etc. alone… 

At age 35, I stopped doing what wasn’t working for me — dating unfaithful men — and got my act together and used the internet to find the right man for me*!

I’d love to hear from men and women who continue their dating mistakes (including NOT dating) and why?

And if you post a great explanation –

*It certainly wasn’t easy, but it was worth the work.  I’ve been happily married for 4 years now!
