How do you start to feel good enough to be in a relationship!?

I keep having relationship after relationship fail. I have dated and put my heart and myself out there many times and I seem to fail at every attempt. With my last ex I am starting to feel as though I am never good enough and don't have the power to keep a relationship past a year. What can I do to feel good enough and deliver this as well?

    Believe in yourself. - first and foremost.-

    talk it out. if you supress it, it'll go no where.

    Try to make yourself happy, spend time

    with friends. or your bf/gf.

    don't think about it or it might get to you.

    I think you might want to consider reevaluating what you expect out of a relationship. A lot of us have what I called the "needs" and "wants" Sometimes we might want to have a partner that is good-looking, has a nice car, and a great job but this is part of the "wants", the "needs" is more like do you need someone that uses drugs? do you need someone that does not work? Do you need someone that has to have a car? Once you evaluate what you want and need, then you must go for partners that only offer what you expect. The other thing is that you sabotage the relationship once it gets started by thinking that you are not good enough, you are already setting up for failure. You must think positively about your relationship and have a vision on where you want to see both of you in the future so that that future becomes solidified. Good luck.

    Figure out what is keeping your self-esteem low ... and what you can do to improve it. When I hear someone say they do not "feel good enough" I automatically think perhaps their self-esteem is low. But keep in mind, I am no counselor.

    In relationships, are you going for what looks good and feels good in the moment ... or are you looking at both your core characteristics, beliefs and moral fiber ... and determining if all this is a "good fit" in terms of a long term relationship?? Also, if you get hooked up with someone who puts up walls and refuses to openly communicate for whatever reason ... you know, that person cannot stay with an issue and drill down towards the solution, then that is shaky grounds for long term (just my opinion) The ability for both parties to feel safe enough to open up and discuss the "hard stuff" and stick with it until a solution or an amiable compromise can be reached is so important.

    Only my thoughts ... if you can use any of it to benefit you, take it and trash the rest.

    Edison failed over 10,000 times before success with the light bulb.

    I think most at some time in their life feel the same way.

    Patience, it WILL come. Just not soon enough it seems.

    Your a good catch. It is possible that if you stop looking for it, it may find you

    The reason Bush's war has been such a dismal failure is he hasn't been able to define this war and fight it effectively. You need to define what will mean "relationship" to you and go after it. And by going after it, I mean presenting you as something that's offered and then just pick the best one that comes knocking. Remember: Gay relationships can't be the same thing as straight relationships--it's not gonna look like a seventies tv sitcom when you find it.

    I know the feeling, believe me. I hate the promoters of "self-love" before being able to love another, but it really is true if I think about it a little differently. I can easily accept the minor faults in others, but not so easily in myself. I've had to learn to accept/"love" myself, both in spite of and because of my flaws/faults. I know it sounds kind of New Age or 12-Step, but my liabilities are really assets to an extreme. Acceptance and balance are key.

    I believe that not only am I good enough, but that I deserve good things and someone good to share them with. So do you...
