Ask Grandma Anything: Attracting Trouble

Dear Cutie,

What is your advice for a 37-year-old single woman who keeps pining for the guys that don’t pursue her, yet who attracts the ones that must be avoided (immature, controlling, selfish, lazy), and who has pretty much given up on the notion she will meet a guy that’s right for her?

Dear Attracting Trouble,

I’m sorry to hear that you keep running into Mr. Wrong. In my opinion, part of it has to do with bad luck, but you cannot discount the importance of taking care of yourself and being the best person you can be.

Think about the kind of life you want to have. What is standing in the way of you being able to achieve it? Talk to some friends, do some writing, try meditating, and once you have an idea, make some changes. I have always felt that people will respond to what you put out there. Show the world your strength, your independence, all the beautiful
things you have to offer.

You can’t help the kind of people who are attracted to you, but you can choose not to give them the time of day if they show you that they are not mature enough to be a partner to you.

37 is not too old. Think about it from my perspective, I am ninety six years old – you have nearly sixty years to get to be my age! So, get yourself out there. Tell your friends that you are looking and that could result in some introductions. Open your heart and don’t give up. Maybe you will not find love tomorrow, but there are many tomorrows still to come.

Good luck to you,

Love,
Cutie
