Have you been in a relationship that you believed was going great till he dropped the bombshell of a break-up?

Have you ever felt so close to a guy you dated that you mention commitment, only to watch him take off like a rocket?

If you have been in such relationships, you have probably experienced heartbreak too. And every time something goes wrong in a relationship, female friends cry that youll find someone else. He's a complete jerk to not realize your worth. He will repent and beg for forgiveness later. You deserve someone better. These are some examples of how your friends will try to cheer you up.

But it is actually possible that you are doing something wrong, especially if all your relationships turn out the same way. So, here are the top 5 mistakes women make in relationships. These are the 5 things that turn a man off. So if you wish to improve your love-life, you might as well read on

1. Insecurity: While it is true that men like to feel strong and protective about their women, they certainly do not want women who are basically insecure. So whenever you pass a bitchy comment about another woman who is prettier or more successful than you are, your man will see through you. Men want to be associated with confident and self-assured women. So dont let his appreciative looks at another woman draw out the bitch in you. There are other ways of dealing with that problem!!!

2. Are You A Drama Queen? If you display an emotional outburst every now and then, you may want to rethink that. Men are not very comfortable with a display of emotions, neither their own and nor yours. So try not to get dramatic at every possible opportunity. Just smile and act like you are in complete control.

3. Clingy And Needy Women: Are you in the habit of calling him every hour when he is at work or with friends? Do you give him any space at all? When you send signals that your life revolves around him and you need him every single moment of your life, you are ruining it for yourself. Everyone needs space, including him. Similarly, some women tend to touch or hold their men too frequently when in public. Psychologists explain that this is something like marking your man as taken. But men often find this habit very irritating. So try to limit it in public. And in short, go get a life

4. Leave The Past Behind: So your last boyfriend was a jerk and treated you like dirt? Thats an old story, gal. No guy wants to hear his girl go on and on and on about previous relationships. Its one thing to be honest and talk about previous relationships, but quite another thing to hold fast to them. Spare him the details coz hes not interested. And hes certainly not interested in hearing you bitch about guys you have dated previously. So stop seeking a shoulder to cry on.

5. Not Taking Care Of Yourself: Women try to look hot for the guys they date. But as things progress and you settle down in a long relationship, you tend to get too comfy with each other. But that does not mean he wants to see you in pajamas and without make-up every time he drops by. He still wants to be dating an attractive woman. So take care of yourself. Exercise, eat healthy, dress well, get your hair/nails done and put on some liptick.
