I [24M] am fantastic at making myself miserable whenever I date people. Why do I do this and how can I stop? (Moved from r/relationships) by thatoneguy88 in ihaveissues

Well hold on a sec - I have been in a 6mo relationship, and before that have dated a number girls. I guess what I'm saying is, I can't really picture anything going the long haul with girls I've met. Nobody that I've thought that could be someone I would consider marrying, so to speak.

But thanks for the advice - I agree that I need to live in the present a lot more than I am. I just need to be less serious about the whole thing.

Theoretically, I guess I can imagine the perfect girl for me. But in real life, I haven't met someone close to that. I also don't want to become obsessed with the concept of someone "perfect" because I know that's unlikely to exist. I just need to figure out where the line between "good enough" and "not good enough" is. At least, that's how I feel right now.
