Ever thought why you always get attached to unavailable men? Here’s why.
Ever wonder why you become infatuated with a guy who doesn’t seem worth your time or attention? It does not matter how sweet or generous of a person you might be, sometimes even you might commit some blunders just to wonder in the end how it could happen. We all have our flaws.
More than often, they lead us to do things we wouldn’t otherwise do. In the same pretext, becoming infatuated with men that are out of your league or unavailable is just one of those things that happens as a result of you overlooking some basic facts, underestimating or overestimating the traits he possesses and so on.
Some of you might find men attractive when they appear to be a closed book, while some might find silent figures attractive. Some of you might go for men who are too dominating, while some might find outgoing and friendly guys highly to their liking. Whatever the reasons might be, they often tend to be unlike you, something that you wouldn’t normally go for. Hence the term unavailable is quite safe to use here.
Whatever the reasons might be and however diverse they may be, your zodiac can explain a lot of it based on the traits you possess and how you see others, based on those traits. Here are some reasons you might be attached or tend to become infatuated with men who are unavailable and who, by the end of the day, leave you wondering what you were thinking liking them in the first place.

Libra (September 23 October 22)
Because you tend to be a loner at heart, you generally become attracted to men who will not be all in or give you the romance you want. You become attracted to guys who are loners too, same as you; and may even have a phobia when it comes to commitment.
This is because you think that you understand them better than anyone else, mainly because you are like them. And this is where the catch lies too: these guys rarely think about relationships because they are content with loneliness. This fact slips from your mind, overcome with the need to be with them just because they are alone. They might be alone, but they do not qualify as lonely.

Sagittarius (November 22 December 21)
You are perhaps the most outgoing people on the planet. Known widely for your spontaneous nature, you are always on the go and so, you like men who are too. And this is exactly where the problem lies in: they tend to be explorers or wanderers who are always traveling or freelancing and living in a different city every month; they never stay in the same place doing the same thing, just like you.
It is more like these guys are married to their work and travels and their adventures and so, a relationship is probably the last thing they think about and want, in the long run. Also read, 10 Ways to Love a Sagittarius.
Capricorn (December 22 January 19)
You are attracted to a certain class of men, the ones who always leave you hanging and questioning because of the mixed signals they give you, ones who play hard to get. You are attracted to men who are unstable and inconsistent even though you are very stable yourself. You are the type of person who takes a while to open up and trust someone and that is why straightforward men intimidate you.

Aquarius (January 20 February 18)
You are a dreamer who truly holds the belief that love conquers all, that love can change the world and heal the broken and cure the weak-hearted, which is why you fall for men who are just wrong for you and believe that you can change them through your love, affection and by investing your time and efforts in them.
You perceive yourself like a healer sent to save them from all the evil in the world and you sometimes don’t even care about heartbreak as long as you were able to touch someone’s life. A lot of men end up taking you for granted due to this reason. In your blind passion to “save them,” you do not see it coming and are left with your head and heart in pieces.

Pisces (February 19 March 20)
They say never go back to what or who hurt you. Somehow, you seem to forget this every time you go back to your ex or the one that got away. You never completely get over anyone you have dated or even had the slightest bit of feelings for and even if it did not work out you believe in second and third chances… something which most people would call sweet, but that is not what it feels like to be in your shoes and having the guy take you for granted. Your kindness and optimism give a chance to the same men who broke your heart to break it again. Because you are too “nice” you cannot refuse or take revenge from them.
