These zodiac signs always have trouble finding Mr. Right.
By Emily Ratay — Written on Feb 18, 2019
There are a lot of reasons why we fall for the wrong guys. Sometimes, it just feels like bad luck. How can anyone have such terrible luck, finding all of the wrong people to date and never feeling like you're any closer to finding Mr. Right?
Other times, it's less about having bad luck and more about not knowing what you're really looking for in a partner... or fearing being alone... or thinking that you can change him so that he stops being Mr. Wrong and starts being Mr. Right.
Like I said, there are a lot of reasons why we fall for the wrong guys. And until you finally figure out what your reason is, you're doomed to repeat history. Some zodiac signs are more likely than others to repeat this history.
They might even know that they're in this never-ending loop, and yet, they can't help but get right back into a new relationship with another wrong guy. Sometimes, it's because you're not comfortable being alone.
There's nothing wrong with being energized by relationships, but learning how to be single is just as important as being able to find strength in your relationships.
If you're not sure what you want in a relationship, ask yourself some questions before getting in another relationship with the wrong person.
Perhaps being single is what your horoscope sign really needs to help you do some soul-searching. Next time you kick your man's butt to the curb, try living the single life for a bit instead of going right back to your same old routine.
Sometimes, a shake-up is all you need to really understand what you need in life to be happy. If it leads you to a new man, great! But now, it'll be different because you'll really know what you're looking for in a partner.
And if your thing is hoping that you can change this new man with a little positive reinforcement and tough love, you should rethink your strategy. We can't change anyone, but we can change ourselves. And if changing yourself means rethinking how you date – and who you date – you have a much better chance of finding the right guy.
Here are the zodiac signs who ALWAYS fall for the wrong guys, according to astrology.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini tends to fall for the wrong guys all the time because she isn't really sure what she wants out of a relationship. She knows that she likes meeting new people, and she also knows that being in new relationships are always thrilling, but when it comes to actually knowing what she wants out of her new beau, it's almost impossible for her to give you a straight answer.
Gemini falls for the guys who excite her. Even if they have terrible personalities, or they hate her friends, she stays with them because they're thrilling and fun. She might even know they're wrong for her, but because she doesn't intend to keep them around for very long, she thinks that she can just use them and lose them without any harm. Really, she's harming her chances of finding the right guy.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo likes to think that she can make good decisions when it comes to love and relationships, but the reality is that she's too caught up in perfection for any relationship to last very long. She has a hard time remembering that no one is perfect, and the reason she always seems to fall for the wrong guys is because she convinces herself that they're all wrong for her.
Rather than learning to love someone in spite of or because of their flaws, she tries to fix all of the leaking holes in the ship. And when that proves to be unsuccessful, she convinces herself that she just has terrible taste in guys. In reality, Virgo should be focusing her perfectionism elsewhere, like in her career or hobbies – somewhere she can actually be in control.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libra likes to live in her own little universe where everything is perfect and happy. She tends to live with her rose-colored glasses on so often that she never sees just how bad her decisions are. She wants someone who will take care of her and sweep her off of her feet, but she also tends to do some sweeping of her own – more specifically, sweeping real problems under the rug.
Libra is not someone who particularly enjoys confrontation or speaking her mind when it's different than her partner's, so she becomes passive-aggressive. When this eventually makes the relationship crumble, she looks for someone else who can fulfill one need of hers, rather than wait for the guy who can fulfill all of her needs. Libra tends to fall for the guys who seem perfect on the surface but really aren't.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius highly values her independence and freedom. While she likes finding people to have casual relationships with, she's not really one to get serious with someone, especially not right away. In fact, she might never settle down with anyone, simply because she's not entirely sure if it's the right choice for her.
The reason she keeps falling for the wrong guys is because she's secretly afraid of commitment. She thinks that if she keeps dating people that she knows are bad news for her that she'll never have to worry about getting serious and taking things to the next level. She can just keep blaming her exes on bad luck and bad choices, when in reality, she's not used to this new territory of being in a serious relationship with someone good.
