They can also refrain from judgment and defensiveness, and listen as well as communicate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trusting: <\/strong>secure attachment typically goes hand-in-hand with the belief that you are worthy of love. People with this style also believe that others can be trusted and depended on. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emotional vulnerability<\/strong>: secure attachers are transparent about fears, desires, and insecurities. They have faith that their partner will respect these factors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistent support and warmth: <\/strong>securely attached adults learned early on that loved ones are warm and supportive. Therefore, they will likely mimic these traits in a romantic relationship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Healthy boundaries: <\/strong>a secure partner typically knows their boundaries and respects yours, acknowledging that \u201cno\u201d means \u201cno.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone with a secure attachment style may <strong>show a high level of interest and curiosity in you during the dating stage.<\/strong> They will likely ask you questions about yourself and support you through all your emotions, not just the \u201cgood\u201d ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-parents-impact-children-s-development-of-affect-regulation\"><strong>How to Attract a Secure Partner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at married and dating couples, securely attached people typically prefer other secure attachers &#8211; and often end up together. In fact, <strong>evidence demonstrates that around 75 to 85% of securely attachers become involved with secure partners.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This finding isn\u2019t entirely surprising when we consider how we choose relationships. Most &#8211; if not all &#8211; of us are attracted to people similar to us. We often look for someone who shares the same beliefs and feelings as we do. These beliefs aren\u2019t just about the world, but also our views on closeness, intimacy, and whether we can depend on others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, <strong>developing a secure attachment style can help you attract a secure partner<\/strong>, as you will share similarities in your wants, needs, and emotional availability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re still in the process of earning attachment security. Evidence shows that <strong>people with a secure attachment style are compatible with every attachment type. <\/strong>Securely attached people tend to become the emotional \u201crock\u201d for their insecurely attached partners and, in doing so, can help them become more securely attached.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start to attract secure partners, try working on these secure attachment characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#edf1f5\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li>Self-awareness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-worth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-esteem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emotional availability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even do as much by \u201cdating yourself.\u201d Doing so involves treating yourself how you want your partner to treat you, and working on becoming emotionally vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong>Date Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The prospect of \u201cdating yourself\u201d may sound a little silly. However, when you date someone, you spend time with, accept, and get to know them. If you come across issues, you try your best to resolve them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you \u201cdate yourself,\u201d you engage in all these behaviors but focus them inwards. You spend time on yourself, accept yourself, and get to know yourself better. When you face difficulties, you figure out the best way to manage these on your own. In essence, \u201cdating yourself\u201d is an exercise in self-awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These are all important aspects of forming a positive relationship with yourself and will help you to attract a secure partner. <\/strong>Boosting self-awareness will also benefit you once you\u2019re in a relationship &#8211; evidence demonstrates that self-awareness leads to happier, healthier relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong>Treat Yourself How You Want Your Partner to Treat You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our self-esteem and sense of self-worth determine the treatment we accept from our romantic partners. Therefore, <strong>if you want to attract a secure partner who will treat you with respect, kindness, and empathy, you need to start treating yourself that way<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23109\" style=\"width:361px;height:306px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830.png 867w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-768x650.png 768w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-750x635.png 750w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-150x127.png 150w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-500x423.png 500w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-400x339.png 400w, https:\/\/www.attachmentproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Group-830-110x93.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Similarly to working on your self-awareness, improving your self-esteem often leads to greater relationship satisfaction. Therefore, if you start to value yourself and treat yourself right, you\u2019ll become more content with your partner once you enter a relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify how you want your partner to treat you (and, ultimately, how you need to treat yourself), ask yourself, <em>\u201cwhat do consistency, empathy, patience, and self-compassion look like?\u201d <\/em>Consistency could look like keeping promises to yourself, while empathy might be refraining from judging yourself. You could practice patience by not expecting perfection from yourself and kindness through positive self-talk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other ways to \u201ctreat yourself right\u201d are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#edf1f5\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li>Becoming more mindful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listening to what your body and mind need (exercise, healthy diet, relaxation, sleep, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stopping comparing yourself to others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong>Work On Being Emotionally Vulnerable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotional unavailability typically arises from a fear of intimacy or rejection, which may occur due to insecure early attachment relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who struggle with emotional vulnerability don\u2019t often do so out of choice. They may have learned this behavior from an emotionally unavailable primary caregiver. Or, alternatively, because they couldn\u2019t depend on their caregiver to attend to their needs when they were a child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emotional vulnerability is essential in a secure relationship, as it enables closeness, intimacy, and trust to blossom.<\/strong> Without emotional vulnerability, partners may feel distant, disconnected, and, eventually, resentful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of becoming emotionally vulnerable is processing any past traumas. Processing trauma means connecting with the thoughts, emotions, and lessons you\u2019ve learned about yourself, others, and the world due to your emotionally challenging experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncovering these thoughts and feelings allows you to move past them. For example, let&#8217;s say you learned <em>\u201cother people aren\u2019t trustworthy.\u201d <\/em>Identifying that trauma is causing this belief can help you transform it into <em>\u201cI can trust some people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Working through past traumas and becoming more emotionally vulnerable can help you form a secure, intimate relationship with a securely attached partner.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-attachment-got-to-do-with-it\"><strong>Final Word on Attracting a Secure Partner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All of us want to feel safe and secure in our romantic relationships. One way to achieve this is by finding a securely attached partner who can approach a relationship with kindness, care, and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s not always easy to find a secure partner. Who we attract may depend on our attachment style. Humans naturally seek romantic relationships with people similar to them. So, <strong>becoming more securely attached increases your likelihood of attracting a secure partner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line of finding a secure partner is improving your relationship with yourself so that you can emit confidence, positive self-esteem, and emotional security.
