Attracted to someone I shouldn't be

LegacyUser

My last (and only) relationship ended really badly - and after the amount of heartache it caused me I swore that at the least I'd stay away from relationships for a few years and make sure not to get involved with anyone that I had doubts about. Yet now I find myself ridiculously attracted to a friend who is not only taken, but has cheated on their partner a few times that I know of. Basically, I know deep down that they are not relationship material - yet every time i'm in their company we get on really well. I know there's a mutual attraction there, but I should not be attracted to this type of person. I thought people are meant to learn from bad experiences, but in my case it seems the 2 years of recovering from the last relationship have taught me nothing. I can't avoid seeing this person at least once a week so I'm looking for suggestions as to how I go about stopping feeling so attracted to someone that is quite clearly bad news?

Best way of disliking someone, or in my case ending perfectly healthy relationships, is to find something about the person that you don't like. Once you find something about them that you don't like just focus all your attention on it when you're with them. If you're anything like me you won't like them anymore after about a week or two.

Attraction isn't something you choose. Accept the feelings, they aren't your fault. They are feelings passing through your body that you can't control.
